Dear Hiring Manager,

I’m writing to express my interest in the Video Editor position. I bring a strong background in long-form and short-form digital editing, with hands-on experience supporting high-visibility creators, fast-moving production environments, and deadline-driven teams. My focus is always the same: transform raw footage into engaging, high-retention content that tells a clear, compelling story.

In my current role editing for a large YouTube creator, I manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining high production standards under tight timelines. My edits have contributed to increased viewer retention of 25–40%, and I’ve helped streamline workflows that significantly reduced turnaround times. In addition to editing, I’ve led small editorial teams, documented standardized processes, and collaborated closely with creators to bring their vision to life efficiently and consistently.

I’m highly proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and DaVinci Resolve, with additional strengths in motion graphics, sound design, color correction, and asset management. I’m equally comfortable working independently or as part of a collaborative team, and I take pride in being reliable, organized, and proactive—someone you can trust to deliver quality work on time.

What excites me most about this opportunity is the chance to contribute to meaningful, creative content while continuing to grow as a storyteller. I value clear communication, creative problem-solving, and thoughtful editing that enhances both narrative and audience experience.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experience can support your team’s goals.

Sincerely,

Bennett Peel
