Hayley Heneghan

I'm Hayley Heneghan, a Los Angeles video editor. I cut short-form comedy, street interviews and social content in Premiere Pro, with an ear for dialogue and comic timing.

Finding the story in the footage.

I edit short-form pieces for YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels. I've also assembled story cuts for a comedy series. My background in writing and improv helps me think about the setup, the reaction and how long a moment needs to land.

Who's Using the Paper?

I assembled the footage and shaped the story cuts for episodes 3–7, then handed off rough cuts for finishing. These published episodes show that story work within the completed production.

Episode 3: The employees become spies

My contribution: footage assembly and the story cut. Final finishing was handled by others.
