Project Title
Long-Form YouTube Video Editing for a 2M+ Subscriber Channel
Client / Channel
What I’ve Learned (via US-based Agency)
The Challenge
The channel regularly publishes educational long-form videos and needed consistent, high-retention editing that supports clear storytelling without distracting from the message.
The videos are information-dense, so pacing, structure, and clarity were critical.

My Role
Video editing for long-form YouTube content as part of an agency team.
Responsibilities included:
Structuring the narrative flow
Improving pacing and clarity
Cleaning up cuts and transitions
Supporting retention without over-editing
The Approach
I focused on clean, distraction-free editing that matched the channel’s educational style.
The goal was to keep viewers engaged through:
Strong pacing
Clear visual rhythm
Minimal but purposeful cuts
The edit was designed to support the content, not overpower it.
The Outcome
The video was published on a channel with over 2 million subscribers and reached approximately 500,000 views organically.
Tools Used
Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator & Frame.io
