The educational creator
You make essays, deep dives, or tutorials. We structure your raw script into a cold open + chapters that keep average view duration past 50%.
Long form editing that earns the watch.
Story-first cuts for YouTube long-form, video essays, and brand films. Cold opens, B-roll layered for retention, sound design, color grade — all in one price. 48 hours, unlimited revisions.
Who this is for
If you publish weekly, we ship retention-tuned cuts.
The thought-leader founder
You film between flights, hand us the raw, and need a story-driven cut by Friday for the weekly drop. We handle every layer — graphics, B-roll, audio, color.
The brand or agency
You produce brand films, internal video, or thought-leadership content. We ship cinema-tier polish on a creator budget — and we white-label.

Long-Form Video Editing FAQ
The questions every client asks us.
YouTube long-form, video essays, brand films — same service?
Yes. Anything 5–40 minutes horizontal is long-form for us. The workflow is the same: cold open, retention-tuned structure, B-roll layering, motion, audio, color.
Are motion graphics, color, and audio really all included?
Yes. Lower thirds, animated text, on-screen graphics, color grade, audio mix at -14 LUFS — every layer is part of the base price. No premium add-ons.
How long does a long-form edit take?
48 hours for videos up to 20 minutes finished. Longer videos (40+ min essays) ship in 72h. One revision round is included on the per-video rate.
What about scripting or research?
We don't write scripts (you know your audience best), but we'll restructure your raw script for retention if it helps. Research is on you.
Will you optimize for the YouTube algorithm?
Every edit is paced and structured for AVD (average view duration) — the metric YouTube actually pays for. We tune cold opens, B-roll density, and chapter timing accordingly.
