An 11-minute video took me an entire day to edit.

Here’s what the timeline looked like before vs. after. 🔴
I haven’t done anything for the entire day
Just editing

Building my editing career with the setup I have right now.

Not the dream setup yet, but we’re making it work. 🔴

[Faide | Youtube Video Editor @FaideEdits]

I’ve been focused on making other people’s footage look better.

Now I’m learning to capture better footage myself.

The goal is to become a better storyteller, not just a better editor. 🔴

Trying to build a video editing career in a country where electricity can interrupt the entire workflow. 😭
Broo 48hrs!
I need to go back to my crib man..

No edit today (and yesterday)

Still building Faide. 🔴

[Faide | Youtube Video Editor @FaideEdits]

One thing I’m learning as a freelance video editor:

You don’t have to say yes to every opportunity.

I’d rather be honest about what I can deliver than overpromise and disappoint a client.

Still building. 🔴

[Faide | Youtube Video Editor @FaideEdits]

Building an editing career with a laptop that wasn’t built for the vision. 😭

Still showing up. Still learning. Still editing.

One day, the setup will match the vision.

Me sef go do unboxing very soon. 😂🔴

3AM and still editing.

Some projects require more time, more attention, and a few late nights to get right.

The final video never shows the hours behind it. 🎬

[Faide | Youtube Video Editor @FaideEdits]

Wrapped up another long-form documentary edit.

Got this feedback from the client👇🏾

That’s what I aim for with every project: not just clean editing, but bringing something unique to the story.

Available for long-form YouTube documentary projects.

A recent long-form documentary editing project.

Nearly 30K views.

My focus was bringing the story to life through pacing, visual storytelling, sound design and engaging visuals.

I’m open to working with YouTube creators looking for a reliable long-form editor.

Portfolio:

Clip sourcing done. Found 200+ LUTs and 1,000 sound effects for free.

Now it’s time to turn the footage into a story.

Back to editing. 🎬

Small details. Smooth animation. 👇

An animated Subscribe, Like & Share sequence I created for an Instagram Reel.

Motion design is about making simple elements feel engaging.

I probably spend more time on the first 3 seconds of a video than the rest of it combined.

If the hook is dead, nothing else matters. You can have the best B-roll and the cleanest sound design in the world, but if they swipe at 0:02, nobody sees it.

[Faide | Youtube Video Editor @FaideEdits]

..just focus on the clients who respect the effort it takes to make something good.

[Faide | Youtube Video Editor @FaideEdits]

Nothing kills my motivation faster than a "free trial edit" request. I get it, people want to protect their money. But if you want to see how I work, give me a real deadline.

I’m not going to do hours of unpaid work for exposure. I'd rather…
