The challenge

Since May 2025 I’ve been editing at Hatch, a video agency that runs video podcasts and short-form content for B2B brands such as Signifyd, Kraken, Exit Five, Expel, Teal, TikTok Shop, Tropic, LCVista and Curative. Podcasts, interviews, DTC and social for YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok. A typical request is a full episode plus three clips, delivered in two to three days, with several requests every week.

How I work

Hatch runs like a production line, with a team of more than 40 people and workflows already in place. I joined that pipeline and learned its tools:

Trello for briefs and deliveries, and Frame.io for client review, with notes pinned to the frame.
LucidLink as the shared drive: the whole team cuts from the same footage without downloading it.
Riverside recordings: a separate audio and video track for each guest, which makes the multicam edit clean.
Descript for text-based rough cuts and transcript checks.
Firecut.ai to switch between cameras on multicam footage, and Submachine inside Premiere Pro to automate other repetitive steps, so the time goes into story and pacing.
MOGRTs: I worked with the team’s existing templates for captions, lower thirds and end cards, and built my own in After Effects when a show needed something new.

Each episode becomes a package. The full edit goes out in 16:9 for YouTube and LinkedIn, and the best 30 to 60 seconds of a long conversation become standalone clips in 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok. Every brand has its own look, so the same week can mean a fintech explainer, a security podcast and a marketing interview.
