We edit for our own channels first

SHIFT Media is run by two working YouTubers. The pacing, hooks and thumbnails we sell are the same ones we use on our own uploads. These are our latest videos, pulled live from YouTube.

How a week with us works

One edit is one main video plus two Shorts. Here's what happens to each one.

  1. 1

    Drop your footage

    Upload raw recordings, notes and brand assets to your private cloud drive whenever you're ready.

  2. 2

    We cut it in 48 hours

    Your editor builds the main video and a set of candidate Shorts from the best moments.

  3. 3

    You pick two Shorts

    Preview everything in your client portal, choose your favourite two and ask for changes.

  4. 4

    We publish it

    Thumbnail, title, tags and scheduling handled, so the upload goes out on time.

Quiet week? You don't lose anything. If you don't use all your edits, the unused ones roll over into free revisions you can spend later.

Everything between recording and upload

You talk to the person editing your video, not an account manager.

Retention-first editing
Dead air gone, tight pacing, sound design, zooms, captions and motion graphics that hold viewers past the first seconds.
Thumbnails built for clicks
Custom thumbnails with strong contrast, readable text and expressive framing. A/B concepts on Pro Growth and up.
Shorts from every video
Vertical 9:16 cuts of your best moments, so one recording feeds both your long-form and Shorts.
Channel management
Titles, descriptions, tags and scheduled releases, so you never miss an upload window.
Direct line to your editor
Feedback and revisions happen with your editor on Discord, one-to-one.
Your footage stays private
Unreleased footage, project files and channel plans are kept confidential and never shared.

Questions creators ask us

Something not covered here? Email shifthqsupport@proton.me or message us on Discord.

What counts as one edit?

One edit is a full main video cut plus two Shorts. We cut a set of candidate Shorts from the video and you choose the two you want.

How do I send you my footage?

After onboarding you get an invite to a private cloud drive. Drop raw recordings, notes, references and brand assets there at any time.

How fast do I get my video back?

The main cut lands within 48 hours of your footage arriving, along with the candidate Shorts for you to pick from.

What happens if I skip a week?

Nothing is wasted. Any edits you don't use that week roll over into free revisions you can use whenever you need them.

Is monthly billing cheaper?

No, it's the same rate. Monthly is four weeks billed at once, if you'd rather pay less often. Weekly is there if you want to start small.

What kind of channels do you edit?

Mostly gaming and gameplay, plus vlogs, IRL and podcasts. Tell us your niche and link a few videos whose style you like in the application.

Who will I actually be talking to?

Your editor, directly, on Discord. We're creators ourselves, so feedback goes to someone who understands the video.

What do you make?

Your details go straight to the SHIFT Media team and are never shared.
