Video editing
The cut that doesn’t lose them.
Food and travel, sport, fitness, real estate, and news. Every decision measured against one question: does the viewer stay?
Thumbnail design
The frame built to win the test.
Designed to be judged by the click. On pair packages, the audience picks the winner, not me.

The original gave six faces equal weight and made no claim at all, so there was nothing to read at feed size. The rebuild puts one subject at the centre, ties the rest to him, and sets a promise that still lands at 120 pixels wide.

The difference
Why creators stay.
You focus on making the video. I make sure people click it, and then watch it to the end.
Typical editors & designers
- Cuts that follow the footage, not the viewer
- The thumbnail left until the edit is finished
- One design, and a hope that it works
- Turnaround that slips when the upload is close
- Hourly billing that grows as you go
Working with me
- Every cut judged by whether the viewer stays
- Thumbnail and edit built together, so one never holds up the other
- Thumbnails designed around the click, not decoration
- A delivery date agreed in writing before I start
- A fixed price per video, agreed before I start
How it runs
Each service runs on its own track.
Book either service without the other — each has a separate process, turnaround, and price.
Video Editing
-
Drop the footage
Raw files and a one-line brief, sent however suits you — any link I can download from works. No call needed unless you want one.
-
The first cut
Structure, pacing, and sound design locked, then it comes back to you for notes.
-
Final delivery
Your notes worked in over one revision round, then the final master and captions, exported to your upload spec.
Thumbnail Design
-
Brief and reference
The title, the hook, and a few thumbnails you like — yours or anyone’s. Face shots or stills if you have them.
-
Concepts
Where the package includes a pair, two genuinely different directions — not one idea in two colourways. Every version checked for legibility at phone size.
-
Delivery
Final files as JPEG or PNG, sized and ready to upload.
Services
Pick the problem.
Thumbnails, editing, or both built as one system. Every project is quoted per video, agreed before anything starts.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
How fast is the turnaround?
It depends on the length of the video and on the package. You get a delivery date in writing before anything starts, and I don’t take work I can’t land on time.
Can I book editing or thumbnails on their own?
Yes. Each has its own process and its own price. If you book both, the thumbnail work runs alongside the edit, so packaging never holds up the upload.
What if I want changes?
Every edit includes one revision round. Send your notes however suits you and I work them in before the final export.
How do we get started?
Send the raw files and a one-line brief however suits you — any link I can download from works — along with your deadline. No call needed unless you want one.
