Pouya Edits

Video editing and content systems, run from Dubai.
I edit long-form video, cut it into Shorts, Reels and TikToks, design the thumbnails and keep the whole thing shipping on schedule. For Dubai companies that includes video production: post-production for teams that already shoot, and 2-hour shoots anywhere in the UAE for those that don't.
Three kinds of client, three different jobs.
The editing is the same craft. What changes is what the content is for, and that changes how it gets cut.
Dubai companies that need content but don't film any
Most businesses here have no footage to cut from. That's what the AI content package is for: scripts, visuals and voiceover built from scratch around your service, so you can post consistently without standing in front of a camera.
YouTube channels with an archive going unused
If you already upload long-form, the Shorts are sitting inside it. I cut them out, restructure the hooks and hand them back ready to post. This is where the biggest numbers on this page came from.
Personal brands posting across several platforms
One shoot should not become one post. Platform-native versions for Shorts, Reels and TikTok, captioned and paced for each, plus the thumbnail when it's going to YouTube.
Video production without the agency.
Most Dubai companies do not need a video production company with a crew and a proposal. They need footage that gets edited properly and posted on time. There are two ways in, depending on whether you already film.
Post-production for companies that film
Your team, your videographer or your phone captures it; I turn it into finished pieces. Corporate video, product and event footage, interviews, and Reels for the brand account. Send the raw files and say what the video is for. Choosing the usable moments is part of the edit.
A 2-hour shoot, anywhere in the UAE
Two hours on location, directed on the day, with every usable file handed over. The session is a flat AED 550, and the edit is priced on top at the normal rates. It suits founders, clinics, real estate and restaurants that need a steady supply of footage.
What you get back either way: the edited videos, sized for each platform, and the raw files from any shoot. What video production costs in Dubai, compared with agency and freelance rates.
Real channels, real numbers.
Every one of these is a channel I actually worked on, with the breakdown written up in full.
Fixed prices, no proposals.
One-off deliverables when you need a single thing, monthly packages when the channel needs to keep moving. Everything is bookable directly. How these compare with Dubai agency and freelance rates.
Before you message me.
Are you actually based in Dubai?
Yes. Pouya Edits is run from Dubai, UAE. Most of the work happens remotely because most of my clients are creators outside the UAE, but if you are local and would rather talk in person before starting, that is straightforward to arrange.
Do you work with businesses, or only YouTubers?
Both. Creators and channel owners usually already have long-form video to cut from, so the work is repurposing. Businesses often have nothing filmed at all, which is what the AI content package exists for: the script, visuals and voiceover get built from scratch around what you actually sell.
Do you film as well, or only edit?
Both, inside the UAE. A 2-hour shoot is a flat rate, shown in dirhams in the production section above, and the edit is priced on top as normal. If your team already films, I edit what you shot and nothing else changes.
Can you edit footage we shot ourselves on phones?
Yes. Most Dubai business footage is shot on phones, and that is fine for Reels and Shorts. Send everything you have and say what the video is for; choosing the usable moments is part of the edit.
Are you an agency?
No. You work directly with the editor who cuts your video, not with an account manager, and the project dashboard shows every stage and file as it moves.
What does it cost?
Everything is fixed price. One-off work runs from $20 for a short-form edit to $120 for a full long-form edit. Monthly packages are $300 for short-form only and $800 for the full content system. Nothing is quoted case by case, and there is no proposal process.
Can you work in Arabic?
The editing itself is language-agnostic: the cutting, pacing and captioning work the same way whatever the spoken language. Any Arabic captions or on-screen text would need you to supply or approve the copy. Ask me before booking if this matters for your project.
What do you need from me to start?
For repurposing work: the long-form video, and any preference on which moments matter. For a business package: a short call about what you sell and who you are selling to. For a single thumbnail or edit, just the file and the context. Once we start, the project opens on your own dashboard, where you can follow every stage and approve the files.
How long does an edit take?
Standard delivery is within 48 hours of receiving the video link and everything the edit needs. Missing footage or slow feedback is what moves the date, not the editing.
How do I pay?
Directly through the shop on this site, by card or PayPal, in US dollars. Monthly packages bill monthly. There is no minimum term.
Can I pay in dirhams?
Every price on this page is shown in AED as well as US dollars. Payment itself is taken in US dollars, by card or PayPal, through the shop or an invoice link.
Send me one video.
The fastest way to see whether this works for you is a single Short cut from something you have already posted. Message me and we will start there.
