Video editing & creative production: Turn raw footage into creative people watch.

Most videos lose people before they make their point.

Send us your raw footage, podcasts or product shots. We turn them into ads, UGC-style edits, Reels, Shorts and YouTube videos that hold attention, make the point fast and give people a reason to act.

Send one video. We'll show you how we'd re-cut the first 5 seconds. Free.

The real problem

Your footage isn't the product. The idea is.

Three hours of footage can hide three great minutes. Our job is to find them.

Loses attention Earns attention

Most footage contains slow openings, repeated points, weak structure, dead space, unclear messaging and visuals that do not support what is being said.

The viewer does not owe you their attention. You have to earn it.

The first 20 seconds

You get about two seconds. Here's how we use them.

Why BrandUs

Anyone can learn Premiere. Knowing what to cut is the job.

Editing software is a tool. The value is knowing what to remove, what to keep, what to show, what to say next and how the finished creative supports the business.

Follow a template

Adapt to audience and platform

Deliver files

Create a reusable creative system

“Every cut should earn its place.”

We know when to add less. Every edit has to pass three questions:

  1. Does this opening earn another second?
  2. Does the viewer understand it without sound?
  3. What else can we make from the same source?

Good editing is often invisible. You simply keep watching.

Who you'll work with

A senior creative team. Not a freelancer marketplace.

The people who review your footage are the people who edit it. No briefing a new editor every month. The same team learns your brand.

“We've watched thousands of first seconds. The pattern is always the same: say the interesting thing first.”BrandUs

Video & creative questions.

What types of videos do you edit?

Paid social ads, Reels, Shorts, TikToks, YouTube videos, podcasts, founder and talking-head content, product videos, explainers and motion graphics.

How much does video editing cost?

Every project is quoted after your free hook teardown, based on volume and formats. The teardown is delivered in 24–48 business hours and helps decide what you need first.

How fast is turnaround?

Turnaround for short-form and long-form edits is agreed at kickoff, and we stick to it. Rush options are available on request.

How many revisions do I get?

[2] rounds of revisions are included on every edit. Feedback is given with time-stamped comments, so changes are precise and fast.

Who owns the videos, and is the music licensed?

You own the final files. We use commercially licensed music, fonts and stock, so your creative is safe to run as paid ads in any market.

Can you work with raw footage?

Yes. Send raw footage, recordings, webinars, interviews or product shoots, and we find the strongest moments and shape them into finished creative.

Do you provide filming or only editing?

Our core service is editing, motion and creative strategy. [If you offer filming or production support, describe it here.]

Can you turn long-form content into ads and Shorts?

Yes. One interview, webinar, podcast or demo can become multiple ads, clips, Reels and Shorts, each with its own hook and call to action.

Do you edit for Meta, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn?

Yes. Every edit is adapted to the platform in 9:16, 4:5, 1:1 or 16:9, with pacing and captions that feel native to where it runs.

Can you help with hooks and scripts?

Yes. We help shape hooks, outlines and talking points before filming, so the footage is easier to turn into strong creative.

How do we share footage and review edits?

Upload via [Google Drive, Dropbox or Frame.io]. Reviews happen in Frame.io with time-stamped comments.

Do you work in our time zone?

Yes. We work with clients worldwide and set overlap hours in your time zone, with a shared Slack channel for day-to-day communication.
