What we do
Four disciplines. One growth engine.
We don't sell hours — we sell numbers that move. Every pillar is run by a named maker and tuned to the metric your channel lives or dies on.

Shorts & reels
Vertical-first edits with punchy captions and trend-matched audio, built to win the first second of the feed.

Inside the edit bay
Fly through the cut.
Every frame you scroll past is real work we shipped — graded, cut and thumbnailed to move the numbers that matter.
See the workHow it works
Six steps. Predictable on purpose.
Every project — a single thumbnail or a monthly long-form retainer — runs on the same groove. You always know what's next, who's doing it, and when it lands.

What creators say after shipping with us.
Real channels, real numbers, real receipts. These are the people we ship for, by name.
2.7M+ combined reach10 creators powered
Shinel turned my channel around. Retention went up, CTR went up, and I finally have a process I can trust.
Thumbnails went from afterthought to my main growth lever. CTR nearly tripled in 8 weeks.
Hook-tuned long-form means I'm not staring at retention dropoff at 8 seconds anymore. Cleanest workflow I've used.
Questions
Answers before you book.
What does Shinel Studios do?
We're a post-production studio for YouTube creators and brands: long-form video editing, YouTube Shorts and Reels, high-CTR thumbnail design, channel branding and graphic design. Every project is handled by a named editor you can see and talk to.
How fast is your turnaround?
Short-form (Shorts/Reels) is typically 48–72 hours per piece. Long-form turnaround depends on length and complexity — we agree a clear delivery date up front and keep you updated as it moves through editing.
How much does it cost?
Pricing is project-based and transparent — see the plans on our Pricing page. We scope each brief to what the video actually needs rather than a one-size package, so you only pay for the work involved.
Do I get a dedicated editor?
Yes. You work with a named editor (not an anonymous queue), so they learn your style, your channel and your niche over time — which is what keeps the edits consistent and the revisions fast.
What niches do you work with?
A wide range — gaming, music, vlogs, tattoo and art channels, business and education, and more. Our editors are matched to your niche so the pacing, captions and thumbnails fit how your audience actually watches.
How do we get started?
Book a quick call or send us a sample of your footage. We'll suggest the right editor and scope, agree turnaround and pricing, and get your first edit moving — no long onboarding.
