About this service

Summary

I help content creators, YouTubers, coaches, and brands turn long-form footage into high-quality, engaging videos that keep viewers watching. From dynamic cuts and motion graphics to sound design and storytelling structure, I craft videos that look polished, sound clean, and communicate your message with clarity. Whether it’s a 10-minute YouTube video or a full-length podcast episode, I bring creativity, consistency, and flow to every project.

Process

1. Creative Brief & Vision Alignment
We begin by aligning on your content goal, audience, platform (e.g., YouTube, course site, podcast), tone, and editing style (cinematic, educational, entertaining, etc.).
2. Footage & Asset Handoff
You send over your raw footage, audio files, intros/outros, brand assets, reference videos, and any other materials via Google Drive, Dropbox, or WeTransfer.
3. Story Structuring & First Edit
I go through your footage, organize the narrative, remove dead air or filler, and create a clean structure. Then I add smooth transitions, B-roll, lower thirds, captions, background music, and sound effects where needed.
4. First Cut Review
You receive a high-quality draft (usually within 3–5 days) to review the structure, pacing, and overall feel.
5. Feedback & Revisions
I offer up to 2 rounds of revisions to implement any changes or suggestions. I prioritize collaboration and clarity to get your video exactly where you want it.
6. Final Export & Delivery
I deliver a polished, HD/4K video file optimized for your platform — with clear titles, chapters (if needed), and thumbnails if requested.
