About

I’m Charles, a video editor based in Lagos, and I’ve been editing for 3 years.

I edit YouTube videos, short-form content for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, and promo videos for brands. What I care about most is keeping people watching: tight pacing, clean cuts, captions that are easy to follow, and sound that’s balanced and clear. When a video needs more, I add motion graphics like animated titles, text and lower thirds.

I work in Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve and CapCut, and I use AI tools where they save time without hurting quality.

Send me your raw footage and a quick idea of what you want, and I’ll turn it into something ready to post. I’m happy to take on one-off edits or a steady weekly batch, and I keep revisions quick so you’re never waiting on me.

I work remotely with clients in any time zone.
