GLITCH Hi, A great gameplay video isn't made in the match it's made in the edit. The difference between a clip that gets skipped and one that earns watch time comes down to pacing, timing, and knowing exactly when to hit viewers with the next big moment. That's where I can help. I'll take your raw footage, identify the strongest action, funniest interactions, and most impressive plays, then shape them into a high-retention story that feels fast, intentional, and entertaining. Expect punchy cuts, dynamic motion, sound effects, zooms, captions, and seamless integration of any AI-generated assets you provide. For the short-form content, I'll repurpose the best moments into scroll-stopping vertical videos tailored for TikTok and Shorts. With experience editing gaming content and a solid understanding of fast-paced shooters like Apex Legends, I know how to showcase the moments players appreciate and viewers remember. Lets have a chat so i can share my past work with you. Regards, Moiz.

GLITCH Hello there, From your brief, the main challenge isn’t just editing gameplay footage, it’s turning hours of raw content into high-retention videos that keep viewers engaged through pacing, storytelling, humor, and impactful highlights. I can create an engaging 8–12 minute main video with fast-paced cuts, zoom effects, sound design, dynamic text, and strong pacing, then repurpose the best moments into short-form vertical content optimized for T-Tok and YT Shorts with captions and attention-grabbing hooks. I’m familiar with gaming content workflows and understand how important timing, momentum shifts, clutch moments, and viewer retention are when editing shooter-style gameplay videos Regarding the requested Loom/YouTube introduction video, I’m unable to record personal videos. If that requirement is mandatory for your hiring process, you would need a freelancer who can provide one directly. Warm regards, Usama S.

GLITCH!, hey, this sounds right up my alley. I mainly edit gaming content and the thing that stood out to me in your post was the focus on retention rather than just cutting clips together. For fast-paced games like Apex, the difference between a decent video and a great one is knowing which moments deserve emphasis and how to build momentum around them. That's where I spend most of my time—tight pacing, clean storytelling, zooms, sound design, captions, visual callouts and all the little details that keep viewers watching. I can handle both the long-form edit and the Shorts workflow, including repurposing key moments into vertical content with dynamic captions and strong hooks. Turnaround time would depend on the amount of raw footage provided, but for a project of this size I'd typically aim for 2-4 days. I've included relevant examples below along with a quick introduction video. Looking forward to hearing more about the channel and your content goals. Daniyal
