Ahmad Basil Setyo

I’m a video editor who specializes in creating engaging, binge-worthy YouTube content. From fast-paced vlogs and tutorials to cinematic storytelling and viral shorts, I know how to keep viewers watching and coming back for more.

With strong skills in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and DaVinci Resolve, I focus on pacing, audience retention, and branding—making sure every cut, transition, and effect serves the story and the channel’s growth.

I’ve worked with creators and brands to boost watch time, increase subscriber engagement, and produce videos that stand out in a crowded feed. My style blends creative flair with data-driven editing strategies to maximize impact.

If you want videos that hook viewers in the first 5 seconds and keep them engaged until the end, I’d love to help make your channel shine.

CDawgVA
I worked as a full-time video editor for CDawgVA for two years, collaborating closely with him to produce a wide range of content including YouTube videos, livestream highlights, and special event productions. My work involved maintaining his comedic pacing, integrating creative visual gags, and ensuring a consistent tone across his rapidly growing channel. This role sharpened my ability to meet tight deadlines while upholding a high standard of quality and storytelling.

Filian
As a freelance editor for Filian, I edited high-energy VR and variety content designed to keep viewers engaged from start to finish. I focused on quick, snappy cuts, motion graphics, and comedic timing to match her energetic on-screen personality. Working with Filian strengthened my ability to adapt to different creator styles while maintaining strong audience retention.

Neuro-sama 
I also worked with Neuro-sama as a freelance editor, creating highlight compilations and engaging long-form edits from livestream content. This involved careful curation of key moments, precise subtitle work, and the use of creative transitions to enhance viewer experience. Collaborating on Neuro-sama’s unique AI-driven content challenged me to think outside the box and innovate with my editing approach.

Self-Taught & Real-World Trained
I didn’t learn video editing in a classroom—I learned it by doing. Countless hours experimenting with Premiere Pro, After Effects, and DaVinci Resolve, studying online resources, and testing techniques on real projects shaped my skills far more than textbooks ever could.

Hands-On Experience with CDawgVA
Spent two years as a full-time editor for CDawgVA, creating content for millions of viewers. Working directly with a top YouTuber taught me more about pacing, storytelling, and keeping audiences hooked than any traditional course could. It was the ultimate crash course in creative problem-solving, fast turnarounds, and high-stakes content creation.
