Hillier
HillierSmithCritic is a second pair of eyes before you upload. It names the exact crime in your cut, quotes the timecode, and hands you the fix — without editing anything itself.
Adding an agent takes you to Eddie. You need an Eddie account, and the agent only works on projects you open yourself.
What Hillier
- 01
Reviews your cut the way Hayden Hillier-Smith roasts one — trained on his Editing Mistakes and Editing Secrets catalog
- 02
Names the exact crime (unmotivated cut, over-trim, timid sound design) with the timecode and the fix
- 03
Never touches your timeline — pure coaching, dry British wit included
The method
Hook-first retention editing from Logan Paul's long-time editor: motivated cuts, rhythm, J-cuts, stylistic sound design, murder-your-darlings selects.
Who it's for
YouTubers and editors who want a brutal-but-friendly second pair of eyes before they upload.
What it knows
HillierSmithCritic carries one skill: a body of craft knowledge it loads when the task calls for it, rather than carrying it in every reply.
Hayden Hillier-Smith — editing methodology
When editing video content for maximum audience engagement, emotional impact, and effective storytelling, especially for YouTube and commercial applications.
What it can touch in your project
Never changes your timeline
HillierSmithCritic does not change your timeline. It reads, watches and comments. Every fix is yours to apply.
- Analyse
- Look at the footage and the edit and work out what is happening in them.
- Comment
- Leave notes on your timeline at the moments they refer to.
- Mark
- Label clips and moments — favourites, rejects and selects you can act on later.
- Play back
- Move the playhead so you can watch the moment being discussed.
- Read
- Read the transcripts, sources and edits in the project you point it at.
