Professional Video Editing Services: Bring Your Vision to Life!

1. 🎬 Raw Footage

The most critical asset you need. Be specific about the delivery method and required quality.

• Video Files: All original, unedited video clips, ideally in their native format (e.g., MOV, MP4, MTS).

  • Request they use a file-sharing service like Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer, or OneDrive to transfer large files.

• Audio Files: Any separate audio recordings (e.g., voiceovers, podcast recordings) that need to be synchronized with the video.

• Photos/Stills: Any relevant still images or logos that need to be incorporated into the video.

2. ✍️ Project Brief & Creative Direction

This defines the goal and style of the final video.

• Target Audience: Who is the video for? (e.g., potential customers, internal staff, YouTube subscribers).

• Video Goal/Purpose: What is the video meant to achieve? (e.g., sell a product, educate, entertain, document an event).

• Desired Length: The exact or approximate duration of the final video (e.g., "Under 60 seconds," "Approximately 8-10 minutes").

• Style/Tone: References to the desired mood or style (e.g., "Cinematic and dramatic," "Fast-paced and energetic," "Clean and professional").

  • Reference Videos: Ask them to share links to 1-3 videos they like and 1 video they dislike for style reference.

• Key Messages: The core points or narrative that must be included.

3. 🎵 Branding & Assets

Elements needed for a polished and branded final product.

• Logo: High-resolution logo files (preferably transparent background, like a PNG or vector file).

• Brand Guidelines: Information on brand colors (HEX codes) and preferred fonts, if applicable.

• Music/Sound:

  • If they provide: The music track(s) they wish to use, ensuring they have the licensing rights for commercial use.

  • If you provide: Confirmation on the type of royalty-free music they prefer.

• Graphics/B-Roll: Any pre-made intros, outros, lower thirds, or B-roll footage they already have.

4. 📝 Script & Timestamps 

This saves significant editing time and reduces revision cycles.

• Final Script: A finalized, proofread script or voice-over text.

• Transcripts: Transcripts of interviews or dialogue, with notes indicating key soundbites to use.

• Time-Coded Notes: If the raw footage is very long, ask them to provide time-stamped notes on which clips/sections they definitely want to keep and which they can safely cut.
