AbuBakar

Storyteller Behind the Screen

 Hi, I’m AbuBakar — a freelance video editor specializing in direct response content, especially VSLs and YouTube ads.
Over the past few years, I’ve had the chance to work with fast-paced teams across the US, UK and Australia, editing for brands, creators, and course sellers. I focus on keeping viewers engaged, keeping feedback rounds short, and keeping things moving.
Most of my work is remote, using tools like Premiere Pro, After Effects, and LucidLink — and I’ve also worked with some of the newer AI tools like Kling and Google’s VEO3.
Outside of work, I like slow walks, quiet places, and fixing things that aren’t working (not just in edits).
If you’re working on something and need help with editing — say hi.

How I work

I frequently collaborate with creators, agencies, and marketing teams as a video editor — both independently and as part of larger post-production workflows. Whether jumping in during the scripting phase to advise on structure, or coming in at the editing stage to bring footage to life, I adapt to the needs of the project. I’m comfortable working solo, taking ownership of entire edits, or collaborating closely with creative directors and strategists. I’m detail-oriented, deadline-driven, and always aligned with the story and message first. Remote-friendly and flexible, I can plug into your existing pipeline or help set one up from scratch.
