Cut
Long-form and short-form. Cut by hand, in DaVinci Resolve.
Median
One viral video is luck. A median is a skill. 21 of the 28 Shorts on my channel cleared 15,000 views.
Resolve
Edit, grade, sound and titles in one timeline. No preset packs.
Off camera
I don't like being watched. I like deciding what gets watched — finding the four frames that make a joke land, syncing an impact to a beat nobody else heard, turning a flat stream clip into something that looks shot. That part doesn't feel like work, which is the actual reason there are twenty-eight of these and not three.
Every cut, grade, sound mix and title on this page.
I built this site myself, start to finish — I'm good at that too. Claude Code handles the scripts and the research.
The edit isn't one of the places I use it. That line is on purpose.
What actually happens between the raw file and the upload
The proof
A best-of reel proves nothing. Anyone can cut three good videos. What a channel cannot fake is the shape of its whole distribution, so this is 28 of the 29 Shorts on the channel, together past one million views. The one left out got forty. Short-form is what is shown here because it is the part with public numbers attached to it, not because it is the only thing I cut.
Source: the public @subspeedy Shorts page, with the exact view count of each video read from its own page on 19 September 2026. Chart and totals cover 28 of the channel’s 29 Shorts; the one left out has 40 views. Subscriber count and video count are read from the same channel page.
How it is made
Everything on this page was cut in DaVinci Resolve. Not because the tool is the skill, but because a video that has to hold someone needs edit, grade, audio and titles to agree with each other, and Resolve keeps all four in the same project. The four steps below are the same whether the timeline is thirty seconds or thirty minutes; only how long you get to make each point changes.
A video is judged before it is watched. The opening gets built first and the rest is cut backwards from it, which is why the weak uploads on the chart are weak at the start and not in the middle. Anything that does not hold tension comes out, even when it is the funnier take — a long edit just gives you more places to lose someone.
Source clips arrive heavily compressed and flat. The node tree balances that back before any look goes on top: contrast recovered, skin tone corrected, then one grade reused across the series so separate uploads read as one channel instead of twenty-eight unrelated clips.
Half of retention is audio. Levels are normalised so a video does not arrive quieter than whatever played before it, impacts are synced hard to the cut, and the low end is mixed for a phone speaker rather than for headphones, because that is what most of it gets watched on either way.
Titles are built in Fusion instead of dropped in as presets, so they can track the subject rather than sit on top of it. Every word on screen competes with the face, so the rule is few words, high contrast, gone before they are re-read.
The work
Click any one to play it here. These are the same 28 videos plotted in the chart above, in the same order, with the view count each one has today. The long-form edits are not in this grid — ask and I will send them.
The channel publishes edits of IShowSpeed stream footage. Clips belong to their original creators; the edit, grade, sound and titles are mine.
Open the channel ↗Not a Short
Every Short above is cut to survive one second. This one runs forty-five, so it works the other way — slow dissolves, real film grain, a typewriter card for every line, a sound mix doing half the talking. It's the launch film for the company behind this page. It's about AI — cut without any.

There is no agency behind this and no booking form to fill in. If you run a channel and want an editor who treats the median upload as the job rather than the highlight, send the raw file and what you want it to do.
