Cinematic edits
that move people.
I'm Shah Emtiaj — a full-time freelance video editor crafting story-driven cuts, motion graphics, and color-graded visuals for YouTubers, brands and filmmakers worldwide.
A video editor who happens to love tech.
Video editing is my full-time craft. For 6+ years I've cut everything from cinematic short films to viral YouTube series, brand commercials, and high-retention social reels. My obsession is rhythm — the invisible architecture that turns raw footage into feeling.
Outside the timeline, I'm a tech enthusiast running paid campaigns on Facebook & Google Ads, designing WordPress + Elementor sites for clients, and building my own products — including DND Scheduler, an Android app that automates focus and sleep modes.
Selected projects
A small sample of recent edits — brand films, music videos, YouTube series, and motion design experiments.
The craft behind the cut.
A modern editing pipeline — built around Adobe Creative Cloud, DaVinci Resolve, and a stack of AI tools that keep my workflow fast without sacrificing soul.
Editing meets AI & innovation.
I treat editing as a tech discipline. From generative B-roll with Runway, to AI-assisted transcription, to building my own apps and automating ad workflows — I love the intersection of creativity and code.
Runway, ElevenLabs, Whisper, and custom GPT scripts integrated into daily editing.
Shipped DND Scheduler — an Android app that automates Do Not Disturb for focus and sleep.
Curious, fast-learning, and obsessed with building tomorrow's creative pipelines.

Story-driven edits with rhythm, pacing, and cinematic color.
Retention-optimized cuts, B-roll, and dynamic pacing for creators.
Custom titles, transitions, lower thirds, and animated identities.

When I'm not in the timeline, I'm running ad campaigns, building WordPress sites, and shipping my own product.
