YouTube Video Editing

Let's jump on a call and Talk further

First Sample

As you can see in this video, I tried to grab viewers’ attention and engage them with some top-notch video editing and super compelling storytelling. If you want to understand my editing style better, pay attention to the following while watching this video:

SOUND EFFECTS: because who doesn’t love a good old “boom” or “pow”?
SUBTITLES: because reading is fun, right?
ANIMATIONS: because a little bit of movement never hurt anyone.
ZOOMS: because close-ups are super intense.
CUTS: because switching between shots is a surefire way to keep you on the edge of your seat.
FAST RYTHM: because slow and steady definitely doesn’t win the race in the world of video editing.
MUSIC: because what’s a video without a killer soundtrack?
TEXT MOTIONS: because a little bit of text movement goes a long way.
B-ROLLS: because sometimes it’s nice to take a break from staring at a face.

Second Sample

Now that you’re all familiar with my editing style, I want to show you that sometimes all you need to create a highly engaging video is a fast-paced pace and a whole lot of rhythm! No fancy text motions or crazy visual effects are necessary!

In this one, I want you to focus on one thing: the rhythm. Just sit back, let the beat take over, and try not to get too dizzy from all the fast cuts and quick transitions. Trust me, there won’t be a single boring second or irrelevant detail in this video – it’s pure, unadulterated entertainment from start to finish. So go ahead, give it a watch and see for yourself!”

Third Sample

This is a different video editing style which mainly used for YouTube automation channels.

Things that are worth attention are:

Stock Footage Choosing
Fast-Pasted editing
Music and sound effects
Animations

I’m proud of this video, but It’s not my full potential, and it’s a budget-friendly quality. Still, it is engaging.

Forth Sample (Gaming)

This video showcases some of my best work as a video editor.

I know how important it is for gaming videos to be engaging, fast-paced and full of all the bells and whistles that keep viewers hooked. You’ll see a bunch of different editing techniques in this video like zooms, visual effects, subtitles, sound effects, and even some tracking shots.

I put a lot of effort into making sure each video I work on is top-notch, and I think this sample really demonstrates my skills. Enjoy!

Fifth Sample

My purpose in showing this video is to tell you that “engagement” isn’t always created by being fast and jumpy! You should know what your audience wants. For example, the audience of this channel doesn’t like super fast video editing. Instead, they like very smooth and gentle editing! And that’s what they get!

Pay attention to the following:

Storytelling
Smoothness
Trendy color correction

Here’s a sample of my short-form edit that can be used for

Instagram Reels, Tiktok, or YouTube shorts.

Your videos will be twice as engaging when I edit them

Professional video editing can multiply your views by increasing the average view duration(Audience retention). Anyone knows that the YouTube algorithm loves videos with high audience retention and pushes them to more audiences.

It’s simple math: Hiring me= Better video editing= Higher audience retention = Higher score in the youtube algorithm = More impressions = More clicks = More views = more subscribers = More money

My Rules

In five years of editing YouTube videos, I have perfected the art of increasing engagement and audience retention.
The key is not how many editing skills I possess, but how I use them to engage your viewers.
