I’m a remote video editor specializing in story-first, cinematic long-form YouTube content, especially travel and documentary-style videos (talking head, voiceover, and B-roll). I edit in DaVinci Resolve and focus on pacing, clarity, and style-matching so the final cut still feels like the creator’s voice, just tighter and more polished. I’ve edited long-form scenes for Malini Angelica (370k+ subs) and I also publish my own films about life abroad. I’m comfortable owning a scene from raw footage to final export: structure and trims, dialogue cleanup, sound design, basic color matching, captions, and clean delivery. I also do detailed scene analysis and written feedback, including continuity and visual accuracy, when projects need a more technical eye.
