Most short form videos don't fail because of bad footage. They fail in the first three seconds, when nothing has happened yet and the viewer scrolls.
That's the part I work on.
I cut for retention. Where the hook lands, when to hold a shot, when to cut away, and how the pacing sits against the music instead of the action.
What I edit
Short form for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts
Long form YouTube content
Paid social ads and promotional videos
Podcast and talking head content
What's included in every project
Colour matched across shots
Sound cleaned and mixed
Subtitles burned in and styled to your brand
Motion graphics where they add something
Delivered in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9
Not add-ons. Every project gets all of it.
How I work
Send your footage through Drive, Dropbox or WeTransfer. First cut comes back in three days, a full edit and not a rough draft. Timestamped notes are enough for revisions, two rounds included.
About me
I'm Daniel, I run a small editing studio called Dejota Visuals. I work in Premiere Pro and I've spent the last year cutting social content for creators, coaches, podcasters, ecommerce brands and agencies.
I speak English, Portuguese and Spanish, and I'm based in Brazil, which usually means your footage gets edited while you sleep.
