About

WHO I AM

SFVE short form video editor grading a vertical edit in his studio

I turn raw footage into vertical films that people finish — and then rewatch.

I'm a professional short form video editor specialised in high-retention vertical content. Every cut is designed around one question: what keeps the thumb from moving?

Working in DaVinci Resolve Studio, I craft fast-paced edits, cinematic transitions, dynamic captions, sound design and beat-synced pacing that help creators and brands grow on TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.

Quality, speed and consistency — with deadlines respected and every client's voice preserved.

Retention first

Hooks engineered for the first 1.5 seconds.

Cinematic grade

Filmic color, contrast and texture on every cut.

Sound design

Layered SFX and mixing that carries the pacing.

On deadline

Consistent delivery, revisions included.

My editing style

HOW I CUT

Four principles behind every edit that leaves my timeline.

  • 01

    Hook First

    I craft powerful hooks in the first 1–3 seconds so the scroll simply stops.

  • 02

    Cinematic Look

    Cinematic color, smooth transitions and premium visuals on every frame.

  • 03

    Retention Focused

    Every cut, every effect and every subtitle has one purpose: watch time.

  • 04

    Fast Delivery

    High quality edits with fast turnaround and delivery you can plan around.

The timeline

FROM RAW TO DELIVERY

Seven stages, every project, no shortcuts. Hover a stage to see what happens there.

  1. Footage

    01

    Every clip reviewed and rated before a single cut is made.

  2. Story

    02

    The arc is written on paper first — hook, tension, payoff.

  3. Editing

    03

    Rhythm assembly: silence removed, cuts placed on movement.

  4. Captions

    04

    Dynamic captions and zoom punches synced to the spoken beat.

  5. Color

    05

    One unified filmic grade, protected skin tones, matte blacks.

  6. Sound

    06

    Dialogue cleaned, beds layered, impacts designed per cut.

  7. Final Export

    07

    Platform-correct delivery, checked on a phone before send-off.

Editing principles

WHY THIS EDIT WORKS

Six rules behind every frame that leaves the timeline.

  • 01

    Attention First

    The first three seconds decide whether the rest exists.

  • 02

    Retention Matters

    Structure is designed around the drop-off curve, not the script.

  • 03

    Every Cut Has Purpose

    If a cut does not add information or energy, it is removed.

  • 04

    Emotion Through Rhythm

    Pace, silence and sub-bass do what words cannot.

  • 05

    Zoom Dynamics

    Punch-ins and speed ramps land on the beat, never at random.

  • 06

    Professional Delivery

    Platform-correct exports, checked on a phone before send-off.

Work process

HOW WE WORK

A calm, predictable workflow — from your footage to a video you can post the same day.

    I analyse your content.

    I find the hook, the story and the moments worth keeping.

  3. 03

    Step 03

    I edit and optimise every second.

    Pacing, captions, sound design, cinematic grade.

  • Canva

    Brand — Covers — Assets
