The work

Every piece here was edited by me. Some were filmed, some were generated. Pick what you need and play anything that catches your eye. Brand names are left out on purpose.

Some of that was shot on a camera. Some of it never existed.

Real or AI?

Six clips from my own work, all cropped the same way. Some were filmed with a camera. Some were generated, voice and all. Make your call.

Before AI, there was the edit.

Ten years of cutting, shooting and directing. Everything I do with AI comes from doing it the hard way first.

2019 to now

GLXY Productions

I built a production company in Algeria and ran it hands-on: camera, photography, edit. More than 100 weddings, 50+ commercials, local film and TV.

2021

Numbers

A psychological short film I wrote, directed, shot, edited and acted in. It won Best Short COVID Film and Best Editing at the Iraq Arabic Movie Festival.

2023 to 2025

Ads at scale

Video editor at Jellysmack, and on e-commerce teams like Snap Advantage. 100+ campaigns, turned around in 24 to 72 hours for teams with revenue targets.

Two years

Kittinopia Stories

An AI story channel I produced end to end: images, video, scripts, voices and edit. 500+ episodes, 700K+ subscribers, 280M+ views.

Now

Editing, now with AI

Ads, AI UGC and documentaries for brands, agencies and YouTube channels. Same editing instincts, plus lip-synced AI presenters when a shoot isn't possible. English, French or Arabic.

Same eye. New tools.

Three ways to work with me

Editing is the core of every one. You talk to me and I do the cut myself. No outsourcing, no junior editors.

For brands

Ad and UGC editing

Ads cut for the first second: hooks, pacing, captions and sound. From your footage, creator UGC, or AI presenters I generate when you have nothing to shoot. Enough variations to actually test on Meta, TikTok and YouTube.

Start a UGC project
  • Editing of your footage or creator UGC
  • AI presenters with voice and lip-sync
  • Hook and angle variations per concept
  • 9:16, 4:5, 1:1 and 16:9 exports
  • Captions, music and sound design
For agencies

White-label editing

A senior editor on your team, working to your brand rules and your deadlines. Your clients never see my name unless you want them to.

Talk about a partnership
  • AI UGC, ads and edits at volume
  • English, French and Arabic versions
  • Works inside your Frame.io, Drive or Notion
  • Clients who have stayed 3+ years
For YouTube channels

Long-form and documentary editing

Documentary edits, channel trailers and AI animation series, paced for retention. I produced a channel to 700K subscribers, so I edit for the watch-time chart.

Plan an episode
  • Documentary and faceless edits
  • AI animation and story series
  • Trailers, cold opens and shorts
  • Music, sound design and color

Mahmoud Ben.

I'm a video editor first. I started behind a wedding camera in Algeria, built a production company, and made a short film that won at a festival. Then I cut hundreds of ads for e-commerce teams, and used AI to grow a cartoon channel past 700K subscribers.

Now I bring both sides to every project: a filmmaker's eye on every AI frame, and AI speed on every edit.
