Michael Levchenko

I’m Michael Levchenko, a YouTube-first video editor & colorist (NYC, remote). I build retention-focused edits: razor-clean hooks, clear structure, kinetic captions, and cinematic color in DaVinci Resolve. 15+ years in commercial pre-production + MFA in Fine Art; last 2 years laser-focused on YouTube, Reels, and Shorts. I’m fast, organized, and calm under deadlines—delivering chapters, end screens, and spec-correct masters that actually perform. What I bring Hook variants (H1/H2/H3) to lift AVD & CTR Pacing that serves story, not just speed Clean audio (denoise/de-ess) + consistent skin tones Thumbnail collaboration (2–3 comps) and export sheets Clear, time-coded feedback loops; tidy project handoffs
