Video Editing Process

Getting Your Video Edited

You can request a professional video edit using the Request Video Edit button at the top of all projects.

Please check the following steps are completed fully before you request a video edit of your project:

1. All your media is uploaded into the project including backgrounds, logos, audio and other elements you would like added to your video
2. The script or transcript is added to the project, if you used our Teleprompter to create the video or voice-over. We use this as reference for the captions in the video. If you did not use the teleprompter or provide a transcript, then you can skip this step.
3. All media items and text notes are added to the Script area for the editors to reference, this may not be necessary based on your needs, per project.
4. Upon requesting your video edit you have decided upon a video format to be edited based on social media ratios and sizes.
5. Your additional comments can be added at anytime into the Activity area after clicking, Request Video Edit

If this button is not available that means the video is already in one of the editing or review steps.
