Senior Video Editor · 5+ Years · Currently booking selected projects
▶ SHOWREEL 2025
I'm Motasm ELmalah, a senior video editor with 5+ years cutting commercial, social, and branded content. My focus isn't making it look nice — it's engineering attention: where the cut lands, how the pacing breathes, when the music hits, and how color and sound make a viewer feel something and keep watching.
Most editors assemble footage. I direct the edit — shaping narrative, retention, and emotional rhythm so every second earns the next, with motion graphics, sound design, and color grading working as one coherent voice.

Mix, SFX, and music timing that make cuts land and emotion register.
I learn the goal, audience, and platform before a single cut.
