Video Editor for Ads | AI UGC, VSLs & Short-Form Creative

I apply basic storyboarding when editing videos that start from voiceovers or minimal instructions. This involves planning how the content will be visualized, including the choice of clips, structure, transitions, and overall flow. The approach depends on the message, available assets, and the intended style of the video. This process helps turn raw audio or ideas into a complete and structured video.

I started editing videos in 2017, initially learning through tutorials and by recreating edits to understand how they were made. Over time, I explored different styles including typography, trailers, VFX, and basic film edits, which helped build a foundation in pacing, structure, and visual composition. In the past two years, I’ve focused more on short-form content, studying different editing styles and applying motion graphics, sound design, and simple 3D camera movements where needed. My workflow goes beyond basic cuts, with more attention to how visuals, timing, and audio work together to support the content.

I work mainly with short-form social media content, particularly talking head videos for platforms like Reels and Shorts. This is where I’ve developed most of my editing workflow, including pacing, clean cuts, caption placement, and the use of graphics when needed. I’ve worked with different short-form styles, from simple edits to more graphics-heavy formats, depending on the content. I also have experience editing ad-style and affiliate videos for social media.

I focus on ensuring edits are precise and consistent. This includes checking for timing, alignment of captions, audio synchronization, and small visual inconsistencies. When something is off, I correct it to maintain a polished and professional final video.

I apply creativity when working on videos with minimal instructions or references. This includes deciding how the voiceover or concept is translated visually, selecting clips, transitions, and effects, and designing the overall flow. My approach ensures that the final output communicates the intended message clearly, even when starting from limited guidance.

I use motion graphics mainly in short-form video editing. I started applying it more consistently when working on short-form content, focusing on text-based animations, gradients, and simple visual elements to support the message. Over time, this helped develop my sense of design and timing. I have a working understanding of motion graphics and apply it where it fits the content.

I apply color grading as part of my editing process to improve visual consistency and overall look. I’ve learned the basics through practice and online courses, including color balance, contrast, and how color affects the mood of a video. I use color adjustments beyond basic filters, depending on what the content requires. My level is functional and applied within my editing workflow.

I apply sound design in short-form videos as part of my editing workflow. This includes adding sound effects, adjusting audio levels, and aligning sounds with cuts and visual elements. I focus on using subtle effects when needed, rather than relying on heavy or distracting sounds, to keep the video clear and balanced.
