Would love some feedback on my portfolio 🙏
I focus on short-form video editing, YouTube content, and social media clips—mainly helping creators turn longer videos into engaging, high-retention content.

I recently reorganized my portfolio to better reflect the following:
short-form content (TikTok / Reels / Shorts)
YouTube editing
explainer and talking-head videos
Trying to make it clear within a few seconds what I actually do.
Would appreciate any thoughts, especially:
Does the positioning feel clear?
Do the first few projects communicate value quickly?
Anything that feels confusing or out of place?
Thanks in advance!

It costs less than $20 to make such jaw dropping AI ad commercials, something you can offer for $20k, easily.
This is what it takes to create a massively successful AI ad commercial.
the idea, this is what makes or breaks the whole thing.
you need a solid framework and the final output in mind even before creating the first image, what are the scenes to combine, the dialogues, the color palette, angles, hooks, transitions, duration and the overall ad concept.
I often use Claude to help me build this framework with some variations, so i can adjust things in future depending on its outcome.
the images, every frame should be in sync.
every frames should follow a predefined color palette, characters and aesthetics following the ad psychology.
you can easily keep consistency between characters, scenes and colors by using the hex codes or color style in every prompt, or maybe using an image as reference for color palette. Higgsfield or Morphic has some good features to keep colors and aesthetics consistent across all frames.
the videos, consistency in all aspects.
consistency in motion, frame rate, camera locked/moving, voiceover, bgm among other aspects that makes an AI video feel like watching a tv commercial.
and the final editing, where simpler is better.
When watching an ad commercial, we don't want the viewer to be impressed with any insane video editing skill or graphics...we want the viewer to be hooked with the product we're selling.
It shouldn't feel like its made to impress the viewer, the more you understand customer psychology, the better and more successful ad commercials you can make.
WOW! 😲 this is amazing.
“Your content deserves better editing.
I help creators turn simple clips into engaging short-form videos using better pacing, sound design, and clean transitions.
If you want your content to stand out and hold attention, I can help.

Here is the Project: jeetajudiya.zo.space
I wanted my portfolio to feel like something — not just a page with my name and some links.
So I built a cinematic experience on Zo Computer. The background is a live particle web that moves with your mouse. The journey section tells my story from 2021 to now — click any year and the full chapter opens. My video work is organized into three categories — phonk edits, cinematic cuts, beat sync reels — each one linked directly to YouTube.
There's an interactive quiz that figures out what kind of edit you actually need, and a hire form that feeds straight into a Zo Gmail automation — so every inquiry hits my inbox automatically.
Hidden Easter Egg:Type "cut" anywhere on the page if you're curious.
Everything here — the design, the interactions, the automation — built and hosted on @ZoComputer
