Your content is already recorded. The difference between 500 views and 500,000 is the edit the hook that lands in the first 3 seconds, the cut that kills dead air before the viewer feels it, the caption timing that keeps the thumb from scrolling. That's what I build. I'm a short-form video editing specialist with 5+ years turning raw talking-head footage, podcast recordings, and long-form videos into scroll-stopping Reels, TikToks, and YouTube Shorts for personal brands, founders, coaches, fitness creators, and content agencies. Every edit is built around one goal: viewer retention from the first frame to the final second. What I deliver on every clip: — Hook-first structure: pattern interrupt, strong open, no slow build — Dead air removed: tight pacing, every pause intentional — Kinetic captions: styled, burned-in, SRT file included — B-roll integration, punch-in/punch-out, speed ramps, jump cuts — Sound design: music sync, SFX, audio cleanup, no peaking — Platform-ready export: 9:16 vertical, 1080×1920, H.264 MP4 My editing stack: Adobe Premiere Pro · CapCut · After Effects · DaVinci Resolve · Final Cut Pro Turnaround: Short-form edits delivered within 24 hours. Long-form within 48 hours. I handle daily clip output, weekly batch editing, and ongoing agency retainers up to 5 clips per day, 5 days a week. Who I work with: Personal brands and founders turning long-form content into daily short-form clips. Coaches and educators who need talking-head footage that actually holds attention. Fitness, real estate, and food brands building consistent social media presence. Agencies needing a reliable editor who hits deadlines, follows brand guides, and communicates clearly every time. My workflow is straightforward: you share raw footage via Drive or Dropbox, I deliver a first draft within 24 hours with captions, SRT file, and cover image if needed. Revisions are fast and frictionless. I work Monday to Friday with availability that overlaps both US and UK business hours. I don't chase trends. I study what makes people stop scrolling hooks, retention curves, pattern interrupts, pacing and I apply that framework to every piece of content regardless of niche. If your raw footage has a strong moment in it, I will find it, cut it, and make it perform. Message me with your content brief or a sample clip and I'll respond within a few hours.

If you run a YouTube channel doing 100K+ views and need a documentary editor who understands retention structure, read this. 16 projects completed. 100% 5 star rating. Clients return. Results speak. Most editors deliver a file. I deliver a retention built asset. A video designed to hold attention for 10, 20, even 40 minutes, increase watch time, and signal quality in the first 8 seconds. The channels I work with are scaling. They need editing that elevates the brand, not just clears a backlog. My method. 3 layer retention system: Layer 1. Narrative structure Each segment has a hook, builds tension, and delivers a payoff. Viewers are guided through the video with no natural exit point. This is engineered. Layer 2. Immersive sound Layered foley, background atmosphere, and precise tension cues create an emotional pull that keeps viewers watching. Layer 3. Cinematic visuals Every B roll, archival clip, and stock visual is selected with intent. Color grading in DaVinci Resolve creates a consistent visual identity that builds trust. What clients say: Fast, reliable, communicates well and verifies work throughout the project Immediate attention grabbing edits that feel professional and powerful Highly recommended. Clients return for more projects Production stack Adobe Premiere Pro After Effects DaVinci Resolve Focus Business deep dives Dark and untold history True crime Investigative storytelling I work with a small number of clients at a time. If you want an editor who treats your content like a product, not a task, we should talk. Share your project scope. I will tell you if we are a fit.

I've helped authors turn manuscripts into cinematic, market-ready books, combining professional KDP formatting with high-converting book trailers that hook readers from the first frame. If you're a self-publishing author who wants your book to look polished and actually get attention, you're in the right place. I specialize in two things that most publishing freelancers can't offer together: cinematic book trailers that stop the scroll, and professional KDP formatting that passes Amazon's review the first time. AUTHORS I WORK WITH: ✅ Fiction & nonfiction authors ready to launch ✅ First-time self-publishers who want a smooth process ✅ Coaches and personal development authors building a brand ✅ Authors relaunching existing books with fresh visuals BOOK TRAILER SERVICES: 🎬 Cinematic trailer creation (all genres) 🎬 Social media video cuts for BookTok, Instagram & ads 🎬 Revision rounds until you love it KDP FORMATTING SERVICES: 📖 Amazon KDP formatting (eBook, paperback & hardcover) 📖 Interior book design & layout (print-ready files) 📖 KDP upload & publishing support 📖 Basic Amazon listing optimization WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE: ✔ Clients don't just approve my work, they say they love it ✔ Fast turnaround without cutting corners ✔ I treat your book like it's my own project ✔ Clear communication from first message to final file Your book deserves more than a template. Let's make it unforgettable. Send me a message and let's talk about your project. Samuel
