After honing my skills at Jellysmack, a studio specializing in content creator growth, I took charge of creators and media with large audiences, including Derek Deso (2.5M subscribers) and Amuse Bouche (605K subscribers).

My role was entirely focused on rush-to-edit: receiving raw footage, fast editing, and delivery within very short deadlines, for a high volume of continuous videos. Projects frequently involved 3-camera multicam editing, with 2 to 5 audio tracks to synchronize and mix - requiring significant technical rigor and speed of execution.

I worked completely autonomously, from file reception to final delivery, without direct supervision.

This experience allowed me to develop real expertise in long-form YouTube and dynamic Facebook formats, with constant attention to the specific codes of each platform: cut rhythm, hook in the first few seconds, narrative structure adapted for audience retention and engagement.

Working for creators with several million subscribers also taught me to adhere to a strict visual and editorial charter, while delivering quickly and effectively.

At Jellysmack, a studio specializing in content creator growth, I edited and reformatted videos for international creators with large audiences, including Charles & Alyssa (8.5M subscribers) and Kara and Nate (3.4M subscribers).

My main job was to adapt YouTube content into optimized formats for other platforms: reframing, recutting, adding subtitles, and adjusting the rhythm to the codes of Facebook, IGTV, and TikTok. Each platform has its own requirements in terms of duration, format, and hook - I quickly learned to master these differences and deliver a large volume of videos within short deadlines.

This position allowed me to develop strong rigor in just-in-time production, visual consistency across formats, and an understanding of each platform's algorithms.
