Freelance Video Editor

I work on YouTube videos, UGC and short-form social content, corporate films, music videos, and post-production. Each project type is handled end to end — from raw footage organization and story structure through pacing, colour grading, sound, and motion graphics.

For creators and channels, that means YouTube-SEO-aware edits built around retention. For brands and agencies, it means UGC and ad cuts formatted natively for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and e-commerce, plus polished corporate and brand films. All work is delivered remotely, with European and international turnaround.

YouTube SEO video editing improves performance by increasing watch time, audience retention, and click-through — the signals YouTube's own creator documentation names as central to how videos are surfaced and recommended. An edit optimized for SEO front-loads a hook in the first seconds, removes dead air, and uses pattern interrupts, chapter markers, and clear visual pacing to keep viewers watching.

I built this discipline leading the video department at a social media marketing agency, where edits were measured against real channel metrics rather than aesthetics alone. The result is video that reads well to both the algorithm and the human watching it.

The process is straightforward: you share your footage and goals, agree on scope and timeline, and receive edits with rounds of revisions — entirely remotely. It typically starts with a short brief about the platform, the audience, and the outcome you want. From there you upload raw files via a shared drive or link.

I deliver a first cut for review, incorporate feedback, and finalize with colour, sound, and graphics. Working European and international hours, handoffs stay inside a normal business day for most EU and US clients. To start, email hello(at)claudiogonzalez.de.

Claudio’s portfolio spans brand and corporate campaigns, music videos, product films, and public-sector work. Real projects include a YouTube brand-awareness campaign for KLARA Business AG, a product film for Lisios, content for Swiss Post’s ePost, a Dr. Martens social campaign with influencer Chato, an internal film for Landespolizei NRW, and a music video for Universal Music Germany.

The through-line is full-pipeline post-production — editing, motion graphics, colour grading, and sound — for brands, agencies, creators, and artists.

UGC editing turns raw, authentic creator footage into fast, platform-native short-form videos, while corporate post-production polishes scripted, brand-controlled footage into a refined finished film. UGC prioritizes speed, relatability, and scroll-stopping hooks for TikTok, Reels, and ads; the look is intentionally raw and immediate.

Corporate post-production prioritizes consistency, brand standards, colour accuracy, and motion graphics for a controlled, premium result. Claudio handles both, matching the editing approach to the platform and the goal rather than forcing one style onto every project.

To get a quote, email hello(at)claudiogonzalez.de with your project type, footage length, deliverables, and deadline, and you'll receive a project-specific estimate. Freelance video editing is usually priced per project or per deliverable rather than hourly, so the more detail you share up front, the more accurate the quote.

Pricing depends on project type, footage length, deliverables, and timeline, so projects are quoted individually rather than from a fixed rate card. Quotes and delivery are handled entirely online.
