Editing that keeps thumbs still.

I cut long-form YouTube, Shorts, Reels, gaming highlights, and social content built around where viewers actually drop off — retention-first pacing, motion-matched transitions, and cinematic finishing on every cut.

What I cut

Five formats, five different attention spans. Pacing and structure change for each one.

8–20 MIN

YouTube long-form

Full episode edits with a cold-open hook, chaptered pacing, and a structure built to hold watch time past the first two minutes.

≤ 60 SEC

YouTube Shorts

Vertical cuts engineered for a loop or a scroll-stopping first frame, with captions timed to the read speed of a thumb mid-scroll.

≤ 90 SEC

Instagram Reels

Platform-native pacing and sound design, cut to the beat drops and cut points that actually perform in-feed.

3–15 MIN

Gaming highlights

Kill-cams, clutch rounds, and stream VODs cut down to the moments worth watching — synced SFX and reaction cams included.

15–60 SEC

Social cutdowns

One long-form shoot, repurposed into a week of platform-sized clips without losing the story.

How I edit

Every cut is checked against one question: does this hold the graph up?

100% 50% 0% 0:00 END

Hook — first 3 seconds

Cold opens and pattern interrupts up front, so the algorithm and the viewer both keep watching past the intro.

Smooth transitions

Whip pans, match cuts, and motion-tracked wipes that hide the seams and keep momentum through slower sections.

Cinematic finishing

Color grading, sound design, and considered pacing on every cut — not just the highlight reel moments.

Engagement build

Structure that earns comments and shares, with CTA placement timed to where attention is highest, not just the outro.
