I help brands create high-retention short-form videos, Meta ads, and AI-enhanced content that feels premium and performs well on social media.
Most of my work includes Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, TikToks, Meta ads, founder content, hospitality promos, and product videos. I focus on pacing, hooks, captions, sound design, and clean storytelling to make content engaging without over-editing.
I also integrate AI tools like Kling, Veo, and other AI-assisted workflows when needed for creative visuals, faster production, and more flexible content creation.
I’ve worked with hospitality brands, restaurants, lifestyle businesses, wellness brands, and agencies that need content to feel polished, modern, and platform-friendly.
What I focus on:
✔ Strong hooks and retention
✔ Clean pacing and storytelling
✔ Premium visual style
✔ Content optimized for social platforms
Clients usually appreciate my fast turnaround, clear communication, and ability to adapt to different brand styles and workflows.
At the end of the day, I like creating content that feels intentional, looks premium, and keeps people watching.

Running a podcast while managing everything else is already a full-time job. The last thing you need is an editor who's slow, inconsistent, or has to be chased every time you upload footage.
I'm Mervyn. I've been doing video and audio production for over 15 years, and for the past five years I've focused entirely on podcast post-production. My job is simple: you send me your raw footage, I send back a complete, ready-to-publish episode - on time, every week, without you having to think about it.
If your show has fallen behind, your clips aren't going out consistently, or you're just tired of babysitting someone who should already know what to do - that's exactly the situation I'm built for.
WHAT YOU GET WITH EVERY PODCAST EPISODE
Every episode comes with the full package. A clean, color-corrected, multi-cam video edit. Audio that sounds professional whether your guest recorded in a proper studio or on a laptop at home.
Your branded intro, outro, and lower thirds applied from your existing templates.
In addition, I can also provide vertical social clips ready for Instagram or YouTube Shorts. One thumbnail. Chapter markers, show notes, titles, and basic written assets.
You review it. If anything needs adjusting, I fix it quickly. No lengthy back-and-forth. No waiting.
WHY ME? TWO REASONS:
1. Systematic Approach
Every episode follows the same production sequence from the moment I receive your footage to the moment I deliver. Sync, edit, audio cleanup, colour grade, graphics, clips, thumbnail, written assets, consistently, every time. Nothing gets skipped, nothing gets rushed, and nothing lands in your inbox unfinished.
2. Two-Step QC
Before any episode reaches you, it goes through a second-person quality check. Someone else watches it with fresh eyes - checking for anything that might have been missed, whether that's a jump cut, an audio inconsistency, or a graphic that's slightly off. By the time it lands in your inbox, it's already been reviewed twice.
You're not the QC. You're just the approver.
WHAT I NEED FROM YOU:
I handle Riverside, StreamYard, Zoom, and raw camera footage - whatever format your show runs on. I've worked on ongoing weekly podcasts, high-volume agency-managed shows, and business podcasts where brand consistency genuinely matters.
I'm not a generalist editor who dips into podcasts between other projects. I am a video podcast editor, and this is all I do. I have systems and processes built specifically for this.
ONE EPISODE (FREE)
Before any ongoing work begins, I'll edit your first episode at no charge and with no obligation. If you like it and it feels like the right fit, we'll talk about a per-episode rate that makes sense. If it's not the right match - no problem. You keep the episode either way.
And if at any point you're not happy with the work, I'll revise it until you are. No awkward conversations. No fine print.
BEST SUITED FOR:
1. Agencies managing multiple shows that need a production partner they don't have to supervise. 2. Business owners and corporate teams publishing on a regular schedule where quality reflects on the brand.
3. Podcasters who've been at it for a while and know what good looks like.
4. New podcast that needs foundation podcast assets and creative direction.
CONTACT ME
If this sounds like what you've been looking for, I'd love to hear about your show. Just send me a quick message - tell me the name of your podcast and how often you publish. I'll take a look and let you know, honestly, whether I think we'd be a good fit. No pitch, no pressure. Just a straightforward conversation.

TOOLS I USE:
I work primarily in Adobe Creative Cloud - Premiere Pro, After Effects with audio cleanup handled in Adobe Audition. Thumbnails and graphics are done in Photoshop. I use Riverside, StreamYard, ZenCastr everyday. I share files on Google Drive and Dropbox.
