How we helped to 10x DefinitelyDead's distribution with the same amount of his time?

DefinitelyDead uploads a 4 hour 100 Days episode every week. He was recording, editing and uploading alone, and it had stopped being fun. Uploads were slipping and the channel was growing around 600 subscribers a month.

We started with the cuts only. Day counters, music, a recut channel and shorts moved over one step at a time. Now he records once and the same footage runs three channels.

Recording all week, editing all night

He was cutting a full week of recording into a 4 hour video himself and somehow shipping on time

Tired, frustrated, uploads slipping, around 15K subs growing roughly 600 a month

His one worry about hiring an editor: would anyone actually get his style and the vision for the series

One Discord message

Kyro messaged him on Discord offering to help with the edit

He said yes to the cuts only and kept the music and day counters himself, that was the test

Every step after that moved when it earned the move

The hard part is not the cutting

Cutting a 4 hour story out of a week of footage without losing it, every day counter landing exactly where the day changes, on deadline, every week

That only holds up with systems behind it

One recording, three channels

He records once

The same footage becomes the 4 hour main video, a tighter recut for DefinitelyDead TV, then clips for shorts

Nothing re-recorded, nothing he has to touch
