Hello!
I have experience editing short-form ads for Meta, TikTok, and Instagram, including UGC, product, and promotional content. My focus is not just on making videos look good, but on creating strong hooks, fast pacing, engaging subtitles, clear CTAs, and edits that keep viewers watching and encourage them to take action.

I can create multiple variations from the same footage for different audiences and advertising angles, optimized for 9:16 across Meta Ads and TikTok.
For the initial batch of 3 videos, I'm happy to discuss the scope, number of variations, pricing, and delivery time based on your requirements.
I'd be glad to complete a test task and am interested in a long-term collaboration.

Hello!
I am a professional video editor and I would be happy to help you create high-quality, engaging long videos for your health YouTube channel. I fully understand the importance of keeping the viewer engaged and know how to build a dynamic pace without excessive, chaotic editing.

Answers to your questions for the application:

Examples of my work on YouTube (long format):

Travel blog editing: https://freelancehunt.com/showcase/work/montazh-trevel-bloga-dlya-youtube/2020059.html

Editing an informational release: https://freelancehunt.com/showcase/work/montazh-youtube-vyipuska-protsess-ustanovki-ses/2019320.html

Typical turnaround time: 3–5 days for one large video (depending on the duration of the material and the complexity of the technical task). I guarantee adherence to deadlines.

Software: I work in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.

Cost of work: I will be able to provide the final price for one video after reviewing the volume of the source materials and the technical task.

To maintain attention, I use gentle changes in shots (zooms, cropping), appropriate selection of b-roll and stock footage that enhance the speaker's words. I pay special attention to sound design (SFX and background music) and adding stylish, readable subtitles or graphic accents at important moments, so that the viewer does not get tired of a monotonous picture.

I work independently, am always attentive to details, and easily adapt to the brand style of the channel.
