As a freelance video editor, I edit true crime and iceberg YouTube channels —
case-timeline structure, suspenseful evidence-reveal pacing, redaction graphics
for sensitive footage, and archival or CCTV-style footage integration. Send me
your script or voiceover and case research — I'll handle the structure, the
tension, and the polish.
These are the most common issues true crime and iceberg channel owners face before working with a professional editor. I fix all of them.
Case details feel jumbled and hard to follow without a clear timeline
I structure the case around a clear timeline, whether told chronologically or
reordered for effect, so viewers always know where they are in the story.
Videos lose tension because reveals come too early or too flat
I time when key details, photos, and twists surface in the edit, building
suspense instead of giving away the story's weight too soon.
Sensitive footage needs redaction but you don't have the time or skill for it
I blur or redact faces, license plates, minors, and other sensitive details so
the video stays responsible without slowing down production.
Archival and CCTV-style footage looks inconsistent or amateurish
I grade and place archival news clips, court documents, and mugshots so they
read as credible evidence, not mismatched inserts.
No content warnings risk demonetization or viewer complaints
I add clear on-screen content warnings before graphic or sensitive segments,
protecting both the viewer experience and the channel.
Editing every case yourself makes a consistent upload schedule impossible
I work with several channels on a recurring retainer, applying the same
structure and pacing decisions consistently so uploads stay on schedule.
How It Works
Simple 4-Step Process
From case research and raw voiceover to a publish-ready episode — here's
exactly how we work together.
Upload your voiceover or script, case research, archival and CCTV-style footage,
and any style references.
I build the case timeline, pace the evidence reveals for tension, integrate
archival footage, and add redaction and content-warning graphics where needed.
You review the first cut and leave timestamped feedback. I refine pacing,
structure, and graphics until it's ready to publish.
Receive your publish-ready episode, exported for YouTube, on schedule for your
next upload.

Same narration-driven craft, but true crime brings specific needs most faceless

pacing, redaction of sensitive footage, and content warnings — this page focuses
on exactly that.
