Motion editing
at velocity.
KeyVelo is a marketplace for one AI editor, supervised by NYPTID Industries, still learning. Shorts and gaming clips, or long-form craft. Notes go to the editor in NChat; the recut comes back in the same thread.
Revisions stay unlimited until you approve the briefed cut. A change of direction is a new brief. Footage may train this editor unless you opt out, which never changes the price.

A 17 second Short that held 92%
We run our own clip channels and cut every Short on them the same way we cut yours. The number on each tile is how much of it viewers watched on average, from YouTube Analytics.
Measured 1 October 2026 on ByronClips, a channel we run. The source of each clip is named on its tile. These are our channels, not client results.
Built for pace
Short-form batches, long-form YouTube, ads and VSLs. Rush turnarounds when the drop date will not move.
Talk to the editor in NChat
No ticket queue and no account manager. Notes go straight to whoever is cutting, and the recut comes back in the same thread.
Linked to your channel
Connect YouTube and the editor sees your formats, pacing and back catalogue before the first cut, not after the first round of notes.

Jack Neel × Connor Leahy · "Don't be stupid"
sample · UNAFFILIATED · Jessie craft demo. A 57-second talk Short re-cut from the closing question of Jack Neel's nearly two-hour interview with AI safety researcher Connor Leahy: what's the best advice you've ever received? It opens on the payoff line, "If your plan has more than two steps, it's never gonna work," then rewinds to the advice itself: "Don't be stupid, which is very different from being smart." Next comes the story behind it. A friend bet him he couldn't count to a thousand without losing focus. He's highly numerate, so of course he could. He sat down that evening and made it to 330. The lesson he took: focus, do the basics, try the simplest thing first, and keep it simple. Jack closes it out: "The magic you're looking for is in the work you're avoiding." Cut points sit on measured silence gaps, profanity is cut cleanly, dead air is trimmed, and the hook line comes back later as an in-context callback. Every shot is face-tracked and reframed for 9:16, with punch-ins on the key beats, word-synced captions, context cards (COUNT TO 1,000 → HE MADE IT TO 330), a cool-shadow / warm-high grade and -14 LUFS loudness.

Ridddle · LIGO measured a change smaller than a proton
sample · UNAFFILIATED · Jessie craft demo. A 59-second science Short re-cut from Ridddle's 19-minute "What Space Really Sounds Like", built around one fact: in LIGO's first detection in 2015, its two arms changed length by only about four quintillionths of a meter, roughly 1/200th of the diameter of a proton. It opens on that number over the real 4 km detector arm, then rewinds to what caused it: two black holes spiraling together and merging, gravitational waves rippling out across spacetime, and the two L-shaped observatories in Washington and Louisiana. An interferometer diagram shows one arm stretching while the other squeezes. Then you hear the real chirp over the actual Hanford and Livingston signal plot, followed by three suns' worth of mass turning into gravitational waves, and it closes on the ripple's 1.3-billion-year trip to reach us. The narration is reordered so the payoff comes first, B-roll is re-timed to each line (merger on "merge", the sun on "sun's worth", the aerial shots on the two states), and word-synced captions run throughout. Cuts sit on measured audio minima, with a warm-high, cool-shadow grade, fine grain and -14 LUFS loudness. Not affiliated with or commissioned by Ridddle or LIGO; original footage © Ridddle.

Ridddle · Dead TV static hides the Big Bang
sample · UNAFFILIATED · Jessie craft demo. A 59-second science Short re-cut from Ridddle's 19-minute "What Space Really Sounds Like", built around one surprising fact: about 1% of the snow on a dead TV channel is light left over from the early universe. It cold-opens on that line over real TV static, then tells the 1964 Bell Labs story of Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson chasing a noise that wouldn't quit (even scrubbing pigeon droppings out of the antenna) before realizing they had found the cosmic microwave background. It closes on the afterglow of everything. The narration is reordered so the payoff is the hook, B-roll is re-timed so the dead-channel lines play over a CRT gamer and static and the radiation line plays over the Planck sky map, archival photos sit in fitted bands so both scientists stay in frame, and word-synced captions run throughout. Cuts sit on measured audio minima, with a warm-high, cool-shadow grade, fine grain and -14 LUFS loudness. Not affiliated with or commissioned by Ridddle; original footage © Ridddle.

Lume · Nobody starts from an empty place
sample · UNAFFILIATED · Jessie craft demo. A 59-second Short re-cut from Lume's 57-minute video essay, taken from the chapter "So What Is a Copy?" and built around one idea: nobody starts from an empty place. It opens on the question (is it copying or learning?), then walks three exhibits: Van Gogh repainting Millet from black-and-white prints and calling it translating, Tarantino taking the Reservoir Dogs ending from City on Fire and the yellow tracksuit from Bruce Lee, and Hollywood's Save the Cat beat sheet. It lands on the line "There is no empty place." The narration is reordered so the thesis is the cold open and the closing card. B-roll is re-timed so the formula line plays over the matching poster comparisons, each shot is reframed for 9:16 with tall crops on portraits and fitted bands on side-by-side comparisons, and word-synced captions run throughout. Cuts sit on measured audio minima, with a warm-high, cool-shadow grade, fine grain and -14 LUFS loudness. Not affiliated with or commissioned by Lume; original video-essay footage © Lume.

fern · How Donnie Brasco fooled the mob by selling
sample · UNAFFILIATED · Jessie craft demo. A 56-second Short re-cut from fern's 51-minute documentary on FBI agent Joe Pistone, built around one idea: the mob knows undercover cops always buy and never sell, so Donnie sells. He hands the bartender a pouch of FBI-supplied jewelry, names his price, and when the offer comes back low he takes it back instead of lowering it, because no real jewel thief would. The payoff lands on the message: he wasn't selling jewelry, he was selling credibility. Story-first beat cards carry the rule, the ask and the test; word-synced captions run on narration and step aside when fern's in-game dialogue boxes speak; each shot is reframed for 9:16 (tall crops on faces, fitted bands so dialogue boxes stay whole); cuts sit on measured audio minima with soft fades; light cool-shadow grade and -14 LUFS loudness.

Jack Neel × Connor Leahy · Why AI billionaires build bunkers
sample · UNAFFILIATED · Jessie craft demo. A 45-second Short re-cut from Jack Neel's nearly two-hour interview with AI safety researcher Connor Leahy, built claim-first: an ex-Google insider says AI CEOs are building bunkers, Jack asks the man who has had dinner with them, and Connor flips it: the bunkers are not for the AI, they fear the public, because no bunker hides you from superintelligence, any more than an ant can hide from the entire US military. It closes on his ask: 'we have to stop them.' Cuts sit on measured pauses, a dead-air beat is removed with a punch-in, each shot is reframed for 9:16 with face tracking, lower-thirds name every speaker, word-synced beat cards carry the argument, captions are checked against the audio, and loudness sits at -14 LUFS.
