šŸŽ¬ Crypto Conference Shorts – Abstract (via Cliplytics) Project Type: Client Project / Short-Form Content Editing My Role: Selection and editing of viral short-form clips from conference live streams

šŸ” Project Overview

This project involved creating 5 short-form videos for Abstract, a company operating in the crypto industry, delivered through Cliplytics, where I worked as a subcontractor.
The task was to review long live-stream recordings from TOKEN2049 Dubai 2025 and extract short 10–15 second clips with strong viral potential. The footage featured a host interviewing well-known personalities from the crypto industry during the conference.
My responsibility was to carefully watch the provided recordings, identify the most engaging and shareable moments, and turn them into short, high-retention videos suitable for social media. Most selected clips focused on humorous and meme-driven moments, while one short presented a more serious and informative conversation with a crypto industry expert.
