About

I’m a freelance video editor based in Peshawar. I specialize in hook-driven short-form edits for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok, where I focus on tight pacing, engaging openings, and clear dynamic captions to improve retention and keep viewers watching.

I also edit long-form YouTube videos and podcast content, including multi-camera syncing, audio cleanup, color correction, and subtitles/captions. With a 5.0 Upwork rating and fast delivery (plus two revision rounds), I’ve supported clients across mindset, business, wellness, property, and education—helping turn raw footage into polished, audience-ready content.
