Auto-generated "AI edits" can slap captions on a clip in seconds — but they can't judge what actually keeps someone watching. Most videos lose viewers in the first 1.5 seconds because the hook, pacing, or cut timing is off, and no algorithm fixes that for you.

I edit short-form video for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts using AI tools like CapCut and Veo 3 to speed up captions, transitions, and AI-composited backgrounds — but every cut, hook, and pacing decision is made by hand, based on what actually earns watch-time and completion. The result: edits that feel raw and native to the platform, not "ad-style" polished — because that's what performs in 2026.
