You already made the long video. I cut the moments people actually watch — and I make your first sample Short free, from your own footage, before you pay anything.

$60 for 3 Shorts · 48-hour delivery

Script-only: 5 Shorts scripts with hooks + captions + B-roll notes — $25–40, same-day delivery.

How it works

  1. You send me one long video. A link is enough — a podcast, a YouTube video, a talk, a webinar.
  2. I make you one sample Short, free. From your own footage, so you judge the work before spending anything.
  3. You like it → you pay 50% upfront ($30). Via Wise or Payoneer, invoiced through Contra. No PayPal — it does not operate in Pakistan.
  4. I deliver your 3 Shorts in 48 hours. You pay the remaining $30 on delivery. One revision round per Short included.

I do not start editing before the deposit lands. That protects us both.

Sample work — my own channels

These are real videos from channels I run. Same cutting style I will use on your footage: a hook in the first seconds, visuals that match the words, captions fully in frame.

History Short — Waterloo. No narration: the battle told in maps, movement and music. Watch on YouTube →
Channel: By the Clock Struck

Islamic reminder Short. "They will wash you. They will bury you. And by sunset, the world will move on." Watch on YouTube →
Channel: ISLAM GIVES RESPECT

Long-form documentary — Learjet 60. A 9:50 case file: research, script, narration, edit. Proof I can also hold a story longer than 60 seconds. Watch on YouTube →
Channel: The Con Files

Script samples — written by me

Three Shorts scripts in my style. Hook first, one idea per beat, a question at the end so people comment.

1 · Psychology — "Your brain lies to you every morning"

HOOK: "Your brain lied to you this morning — and you believed it."

BEAT 1: "You woke up tired, and your brain said: today will be a bad day. That was not a fact. That was a prediction — and your brain makes thousands of them before breakfast."

BEAT 2: "Psychologists call it the negativity bias. Your brain scans for danger first, because danger kept your ancestors alive. But now the danger is an email, a deadline, a message left on read."

BEAT 3: "Here is the trick. Name it out loud: 'That is a prediction, not a fact.' The moment you label the thought, it loses half its power."

END: "Try it tomorrow morning. And tell me — what did your brain predict today that never happened?"

~50 seconds · On screen: one idea per visual, captions one line, fully in frame.

2 · Islamic reminder — "The prayer you keep delaying"

HOOK: "You keep saying: I will pray after this one thing. That one thing never ends."

BEAT 1: "The Prophet ﷺ said the prayer is the first thing we will be asked about. Not our wealth. Not our followers. The prayer."

BEAT 2: "And yet we treat it like an appointment we can reschedule — after the episode, after the game, after one more scroll. Five minutes. That is all it asks."

BEAT 3: "Here is the truth nobody tells you: the prayer does not take time from your day. It puts barakah in the time that remains."

END: "The next prayer is coming whether you are ready or not. Will you meet it on time? Say Ameen in the comments if you will."

~45 seconds · On screen: calm visuals, no faces of prophets, Qur'an reference in description.

3 · Tech gadget — "This $20 gadget replaced three apps on my phone"

HOOK: "Stop paying for three apps. This one gadget, twenty dollars, does all three."

BEAT 1: "First: it is a power bank — 10,000 mAh, charges your phone twice. Second: it is a stand — prop your phone up and watch hands-free. Third: the cable is built in. No more carrying three cables."

BEAT 2: "I tested it for a week. Two full charges, no heating, and it fits in a jeans pocket. The one thing it cannot do: fast-charge a laptop. Do not buy it for that."

BEAT 3: "Honest verdict: if you travel, commute, or your phone dies by 6pm — this is the cheapest fix I have found. If you sit next to a charger all day, skip it."

END: "Link is in the description. What gadget do you want me to test next? Tell me below."

~55 seconds · On screen: the gadget in hand, real use, price on screen, honest limit stated.

About me

I'm Syed Zohaib Haider, a school teacher from Narowal, Pakistan. I run seven YouTube channels — psychology, Islamic reminders, book summaries, history, true-crime documentaries, motivational films and tech — and I cut Shorts from long-form material every single day. That is the work, not a side skill.

What I won't do

No buying views, subscribers or fake engagement. No work before the deposit. No mass AI output — every Short is cut by hand from your footage.

Prices are fixed: $60 for 3 Shorts, $25–40 for 5 scripts. Payment: 50% upfront via Wise or Payoneer, 50% on delivery, invoiced through Contra. PayPal is not available in Pakistan. All sample videos and scripts on this page are my own work from my own channels — no client testimonials are shown because I am building my first client reviews now, and the free sample is how I earn them.
