Edits that keep viewers watching
I edit long-form YouTube, VSLs and short-form reels for coaches, educators and info businesses. Formerly Senior Video Editor and Team Lead at two US agencies, now working directly with creators.
Brands and channels I’ve edited for as part of agency teams

Real numbers from real channels
Public YouTube stats from channels I edited for through agency teams. Growth comes from the whole team: strategy, thumbnails and editing.
Spill The Story
A Bangla faceless documentary channel. I edit every video and run the content strategy: topic picks, story structure, hooks and pacing. Every view on this channel comes from my edits.

Most viewers leave in the first 30 seconds
Views come from people who stay. Every edit I make is built around the moments where viewers usually click away.
- 1
Hook in the first 5 seconds
Open on the payoff or the tension, cut every wasted breath before the topic starts.
- 2
Pattern interrupt every 8–15 seconds
B-roll, zooms, text and sound changes so the screen never feels static.
- 3
Re-hook before the midpoint
Tease what’s coming next right where viewers usually drift off.
- 4
Payoff before the CTA
Deliver the promise first, then ask for the subscribe or the sale.
