Long-Form YouTube · Retention Editing
Most channels don't lose viewers because the content is bad.
They lose them because the edit isn't holding the attention the content deserves. Pacing that drags, structure that loses momentum, visuals that don't signal trust — that's fixable. That's what I do.
I'm Jotham. — I help craft retention-focused edits for Brands, Influencers and Creators. I don't just cut footage. I shape the pacing, structure, and energy that hooks viewers and drive results.
What you see are just examples. What you get is Bespoke.
Most editors start in the timeline. I start with your audience.
What brings them to your video, what loses them midway, what makes them subscribe. Whether you make deep dives, commentary, or personality-driven content — the edit is built around that specific viewer, not a general template.
I got into editing because I kept watching genuinely compelling long-form content underperform — not because the ideas were weak, but because the edit wasn't doing the content justice. Viewers who should have stayed, left. Channels that deserved to grow, didn't.
That's the problem I focus on. Pacing that respects the viewer's time, structure that carries them through 10 or 20 minutes without them noticing, visuals that make your channel feel like something worth trusting.
I work with a small number of creators at a time so every project gets genuine attention — not a checklist applied to your footage, but an edit built around your audience specifically.
“Jotham was easy to work with. He communicated clearly. He knows audience retention and pacing well. His edits improved video quality and helped grow channel views. He took feedback well, met all deadlines, and was reliable all the way.”
Currently open to new collaborations. If your content is stronger than your current edit, that's exactly the gap I work in. First projects are priced to make saying yes easy.
Tell me about your channel and your audience. I'll give you an honest read on whether I can move the needle — and exactly what that would look like. 15 minutes. No pitch. No pressure.
