Hi there, I'm Chris! I'm a Video Editor from sunny Cape Town, South Africa, with various skills focused in Social & Multimedia content production. I am keen to learn new things as I go along and am comfortable with adapting to your needs where needed.

Are your videos not getting views , or getting skipped? I'm a professional video editor with 3+ years of experience producing content that holds attention and drives results. I've completed 6+ projects on Upwork with a 5-star rating, working with creators, brands, and agencies across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and corporate media. Here's what I bring to your project: ✔ YouTube Long-Form Editing — structured storytelling, pacing, chapters, custom intros/outros, and retention-focused cuts ✔ Short-Form Content (TikTok / Reels / Shorts) — viral-ready hooks, snappy cuts, captions, and trending audio sync ✔ Motion Graphics & Titles — dynamic lower thirds, animated text, logo stings using Premiere Pro and After Effects ✔ Color Grading & Audio Cleanup — cinematic color correction, background noise removal, levels balanced for platform ✔ Fast Turnaround — I understand content calendars. Delivery is consistent, communication is clear Tools I use daily: Adobe Premiere Pro | After Effects | CapCut | AI-assisted workflows I've produced content for growth-focused brands and multimedia agencies — including long-form series, social media ad packages, and AI-assisted video productions. If you need a reliable editor who understands both storytelling and the algorithm — let's talk.

AI UGC video ads, product videos, and AI commercials that help DTC and ecommerce brands win on Meta, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. I'm an AI Creative Strategist, AI video editor, and performance-creative director who turns AI into a content engine — creative produced faster, cheaper, and at the volume paid social actually needs. For 30+ years I built advertising the traditional way: TV commercials, branded content, and national campaigns as a Creative Director and Agency Producer inside the Publicis network. Today I bring that same craft to AI-powered creative — so brands get broadcast-level ideas at the speed and cost modern paid social demands. Most brands don't have a creative problem. They have a volume problem. Meta, TikTok, and YouTube burn through creative faster than any team can produce it, and testing stalls because every new concept costs a shoot. I fix that. Using AI video and image tools alongside professional editing, I produce dozens of UGC ads, hooks, and angles from a single product — without a film crew, a studio day, or a five-figure budget. What that means for your account: more creative to test, faster iteration on winners, stronger hooks and higher CTR, better ROAS, and consistent brand quality across every placement — all at a fraction of traditional production cost. What I do for brands: AI UGC video ads — authentic, creator-style content without hiring UGC creators Performance creative for Meta ads, TikTok ads, Instagram, and YouTube ads AI product videos, AI commercials, and product visualization for ecommerce, Shopify, and Amazon AI creative strategy, concepting, and rapid creative testing at scale AI product photography and short-form video editing (Reels, TikTok, Shorts) Why clients hire me: Senior creative judgment — 15+ years directing real advertising, not just operating AI tools Speed and scale — a month of ad creative in a fraction of the time and cost Built for performance — every asset made to move CTR, ROAS, and CPA Broadcast-trained eye for consistent, premium brand quality across every channel I work with DTC ecommerce brands, Shopify and Amazon sellers, marketing agencies, and consumer brands across beauty, health & wellness, food & beverage, fashion, and tech. Send me your product and your biggest creative bottleneck. I'll tell you exactly how I'd approach it — the hooks, formats, and volume I'd produce — before you spend a dollar.

With a background in acting, I developed a strong understanding of storytelling, emotion, timing, and what keeps an audience engaged. That naturally led me into videography and editing, where I found a passion for shaping visuals into compelling stories. I work across TV commercials, corporate videos, brand videos, wedding films, and social media content, creating edits that feel cinematic, modern, and intentional. From pacing and transitions to sound design and color grading, I focus on the details that bring projects together and elevate the final result. I bring both a creative and technical approach to editing, aiming to create content that connects with audiences and leaves a lasting impression.

You capture the magic; I'll tell the story! 🎥✨ If you are a Creator or Course Instructor, you know that filming is only half the battle. The real magic? That happens in the edit. 🪄 My goal is to take your raw footage and polish it into a cohesive, high-retention video that respects your viewer's time and keeps them glued to the screen until the very end. 📉➡️📈 My Specialisation: 🌟 I absolutely love working on Narrative & Personality-Driven Content (Documentaries, Podcasts, & Courses). I thrive when partnering with creators who provide their own brilliant A-Roll and B-Roll footage. This allows me to focus entirely on the pacing, colour, and audio, rather than hunting for generic stock clips! 🙅🏽‍♀️ While my main focus is long-form storytelling, I understand the power of vertical video. I can help you squeeze the most value out of your content by turning your best moments into "snackable" clips for social media. What I bring to your project: ✅ Retention Editing: Structuring your video to keep audience drop-offs at bay. 📱 Short-Form Repurposing: Turning your long-form highlights into engaging Reels/Shorts. 🎧 Audio Mixing: Crisp dialogue balanced with music that sets the perfect mood. 🎨 Colour Grading: Giving your footage a professional, polished look. 🫧 Clean Graphics: Professional lower-thirds and titles to highlight your key learning points. I am looking for long-term partners who value top-tier communication and quality. 🤝 Ready to reclaim your time? ⏳ Pop me an invite (click 'Invite to Job') and let's have a chat about your next video! 🚀
