KDDabu Digital StudioStart a project
A two-editor video studio in Silang, Cavite, Philippines

Creative edits with the patience of a brother and the sharpness of a craftsman.

Hello, we are Karl Angel and Kyle Crix Dabu, two brothers running a small video editing studio out of Silang, Cavite. Travel vlogs are our forte, and we also love working on short reels, long-form YouTube, event highlights, and brand films. Each of us takes on his own projects so you always know exactly who is editing your work.

A heartfelt thank you to Erick for designing and building this website for us. We could not have done this on our own.

Services

Our mission, and how we serve it.

Our mission

Our mission is to be the editor every creator can rely on. We treat your footage with care, deliver on time, and keep our work honest and worth sharing. Clients come back because they always know what to expect from us.

Video editing, our core craft

Short form reels

We make hook-driven vertical cuts for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts, with captions, sound effects, and music handled for you.

Long form YouTube

We help creators and podcasters shape their story. Pacing, b-roll, and a thumbnail concept are included as standard with us.

Event highlights

We cut wedding films, launches, and milestone recaps for both social and full-length viewing, so the day looks as good as it felt.

Brand films

We craft anchor films for campaigns and founder stories. Custom titles, sound design, and cutdowns are all included for you.

Graphic design, now too

Beyond the edit, we also design the still graphics around your work. The starting prices below are per project, so send us your scope in the brief and we will put together a final quote.

We each handle our own client list. Please pick whichever of us best fits your project and budget. We are happy to help you decide if you are not sure.

If we have agreed on a discount with you, apply it here to preview your adjusted total. The most we offer is 20%. See the tiers below for what usually earns each one.
Working with us long-term?

Two more ways we love to work.

The calculator above is for one-off projects. If you have ongoing video needs, our monthly retainer or a thoughtful discount might suit you better.

Monthly retainer plan

₱3,000 per video

4 to 7 videos per month, up to 45 minutes of raw footage each.

For creators who want a steady editor on call, we offer a flat-rate monthly retainer. Each video is delivered at the Light difficulty tier, which keeps the work consistent and the schedule predictable for both of us.

Each video includes
  • Clean cuts on up to 45 min of raw footage
  • Light music and sound design
  • Light video effects
  • Light subtitles and captions
  • Branded intro
  • Branded outro
  • Cliff-hanger teaser
  • Custom thumbnail
  • One free revision round

Cover frame is the only add-on not bundled into this plan. We can add it per video at the standard rate if you need it.

Payment, always upfront

50% downpayment to begin the month. The balance is due before the second half of your video count begins. We work on prepayment to protect both the editor and the schedule.

VideosTotal50% upfrontBalance due before
4₱12,000₱6,000video 3
5₱15,000₱7,500video 3
6₱18,000₱9,000video 4
7₱21,000₱10,500video 4

The number of videos and the per-video price are negotiable in the contract, as long as everything stays reasonable for both sides. Send us your brief from the calculator above and we will draft something that fits.

Discounts

Tell us why, and we will listen.

We are open to discounts for the right partnerships. The maximum we can offer is 20%. Below are the kinds of reasons that usually earn each tier. You can pick one of these, or share another reason that makes sense for your situation when you send your brief.

  • 5%

    Pay the full monthly contract upfront instead of the 50/50 split.

  • 10%

    Commit to a 3-month contract with us.

  • 15%

    Commit to a 6-month contract, or refer another paying creator to us.

  • 20%
    Maximum

    Commit to a 12-month contract, or sign a multi-creator package with us.

Once we have agreed on one, use the Apply a discount field in the calculator above to preview your adjusted total, and tell us in your project description which discount you would like and why. We will read every brief and reply.

The team

Two brothers. Two edit bays.

We are two siblings from Silang, Cavite, running our own edit bays. Each of us takes on his own projects, so you always know exactly which one of us is working on your video.

We work independently. Karl is the senior cutter; Kyle is the junior, still building his reel at a lighter rate. When you book, you book one of us, not both at once, and we are glad to help you choose.

Older brother. Senior editor.

Hello, I am Karl, the older brother and the senior editor at our small studio. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Cavite State University in 2025 with a BS in Business Management, major in Financial Management. By day I work as an Accounting Clerk at ANLydia Group Inc., and before that I served as Assistant Treasurer and Accounting Intern at Gourmet Farms, Inc. The same care I put into reconciliation work (clean structure, accurate documentation, and respected deadlines) is the care I bring into every edit I deliver.

Younger brother. Junior editor.

Hello, I am Kyle, the younger brother and the junior editor here. I am a Grade 11 student at General Vito Belarmino Integrated National High School for the 2026 school year. I have less experience than Karl, so my rate is lighter, but I treat every project as if it matters, because it does. The work you trust me with also helps fund my studies, and I am grateful for that.
