YouTube Video Editor (self-directed learning) at L1ka (YouTube channel)

January 1, 2026 - Present

Edited YouTube videos using DaVinci Resolve, focusing on retention-driven structure (strong intros), thumbnail impact, and pacing. You refined your workflow by reviewing segments before adding effects to avoid clutter and improve overall quality. You follow references and tutorials to learn new techniques (e.g., masking/VFX-style cutout look), then adjust based on feedback.
