The first cut came back already understanding the channel. We spent the review talking about two frames rather than rewriting the whole structure, which has never happened with an editor before.

Briefing five freelancers is how a channel ends up looking like five channels. One team, one brief, one invoice.
- 01
Video editing
Long-form, shorts, podcasts, gameplay. The part everything else hangs off.
- 02
Motion & animation
Titles, 2D, explainers, VFX.
- 03
Thumbnails & design
The frame that earns the click.
- 04
Short-form
One episode in, twenty verticals out.
- 05
Ads & UGC
Hook, problem, proof, offer. In that order.
- 06
Growth
Titles, packaging, posting order, and what to make next.
- 07
Websites
This one. Design, motion and code — not a template with a logo dropped in.

Most of it is under agreement and cannot be published. What is shown below is what we are free to show.
Brief, cut, revise, deliver
One editor stays on your channel, and a named producer owns the account. Turnarounds are quoted per format and the revisions sit inside them.
01
Brief
Footage, references, and what the channel is actually for.
02
Cut
First assembly against the retention shape, not the highlight reel.
03
Revise
Two rounds, inside the turnaround we quoted.
04
Deliver
Masters, verticals and thumbnails, to spec.
Four frames out of our own timeline. They sit graded down until you take one, then it comes up to colour and plays. Drag the row, or use the arrows.
Retention is decided in the first thirty seconds and defended every minute after. We cut for the watch-time graph, not for the highlight reel.

A short is won or lost in the first frame and the last. Hook, hold, pay off, and captions that carry the whole thing on mute.

These are not brand films with a logo at the end. Every cut is there to move somebody one step closer to buying.

When there is no footage to cut, it gets drawn. Type that moves with intent, and diagrams that explain themselves.

A thumbnail is the only part of a video that everyone sees. It gets treated as the deliverable it is, not an afterthought at export.

Channels we cut for
50+ since 2025 · named with permissionTurnaround is the part I stopped worrying about. Briefed on a Monday, first cut on the Wednesday, and the two revision rounds were inside that, not bolted on after it.
Maya WhitfieldHead of contentRetention on the long-form went up and stayed up. They cut for the graph rather than for the highlight, and you can see exactly where that decision was made.
Daniel ReyesCreative directorOne editor, who stays. By the fourth video the notes had basically stopped, because the edit already sounded like us rather than like someone doing their best guess.
