YouTube Video Editing
Retention-first editing, thumbnails and packaging for creators publishing every week.
YouTube rewards retention above almost everything else, and retention is decided in the edit.
We cut for the graph: an intro that earns the first thirty seconds, pacing that removes the moments where people leave, visual variety that resets attention, and a structure that carries a viewer to the end.
Packaging comes with it — thumbnails, titles and chapters — because the best edit in the world does not help a video nobody clicks.

YouTube Video Editing — common questions
Do you design thumbnails as well?
Yes, two or three concepts per video so you can test. Thumbnails and titles decide the click; the edit decides the watch time. Both matter and they are not the same skill.
Can you work from my retention graphs?
Please send them. They are the most useful brief a YouTube editor can get — they show exactly where the current edit is losing people, which no amount of description can.
