About

I’m Nikita Soldatov, a creative lead video editor with 4+ years of experience in fast-paced post-production and visual storytelling. I specialize in high-retention YouTube edits—strong hooks, tight pacing, engaging transitions, and audio-driven rhythm—to help content perform and drive measurable growth.

I’ve built and led end-to-end editing pipelines, managed QC and delivery timelines, and collaborated across international teams to localize educational and promotional content. I also integrate AI-assisted workflows for captions and post-production efficiency, while continually using retention and CTR insights to refine the final cut and strengthen a channel’s visual identity.
