About Umbrella Creators

Who we are

Umbrella Creators is a long-form YouTube editing studio founded in 2022. Kevin Felipe Tabares leads the operation personally, every project goes through his analysis, pacing decisions, and hook engineering. Capacity for high-volume retainer clients is planned in advance, and communication stays single-point-of-contact through Kevin. No Slack soup. Direct feedback from the person who understands your channel.

What we do (and don't)

We edit long-form YouTube videos, 8 to 30 minute videos where retention, watch time, and revenue are the metrics that matter. Every edit is built around the retention graph: hooks engineered to hold past the 30-second mark, pacing tuned to defend the 4-minute slump, sound design and B-roll that prevent final-third drain. Our named clients are in gaming, Roblox, Minecraft (including horror-mod films) and faceless documentary; we work across other niches too, wherever creators actually care about retention, not just viral views.

What we don't do: Shorts-only or TikTok-only work (Shorts cut from your long-form are available on request), or channels where retention isn't a goal. We're not the fit for creators chasing virality metrics. We're the fit for creators building sustainable YouTube businesses.

How we work

The process is consistent across all clients. You send a brief (or we generate one from your channel). Kevin pulls your last 10 YouTube Studio retention graphs and identifies the drop-off patterns. Then he edits specifically to defend those points: engineering the hook against your 30-second gate, pacing to hold through the 4-minute slump, sound design and B-roll to prevent the final-third drain.

The first video takes 1–5 days depending on complexity; after that, usually 1–2 days. You get as many revisions as you need, each returned within 24 hours, at no extra cost. For high-volume retainer clients (3+ videos/month), we offer priority queue and a fixed timeline. Communication happens via Discord for daily work, email for binding decisions. Kevin usually replies within an hour during working hours.

No contract lock-in for single-video projects. Retainers are month-to-month. You can cancel anytime. We believe the relationship should be easy to exit if it's not working.

Founder: Kevin Felipe Tabares

Kevin founded Umbrella Creators and personally leads every project. His full biography is here → But the highlights: 10+ years of long-form YouTube editing, 1,233 videos delivered, started editing in 2015 and has adapted through every YouTube algorithm shift (watch-time pivot, shorts arrival, audience-retention reweighting, personalised-feed shift). He works fluently in English and Spanish. Briefs, revisions, and Discord pings are answered in whichever language you send them.

His philosophy: retention-led editing isn't a marketing phrase, it's a measurement discipline.
