Editing Video Guidelines

Class length: 30-60 minutes

  • Part 1: Introduction

    Please start by introducing yourself, your studio and letting people know the main topic of your editing film. 

    NO music or animated intros/title pages, subtitles or logo please.

    Video needs to be shot in landscape (ie: it fills the screen). It's nice for people to see your lovely face before you move on to the editing portion.

    We'll be adding a title slide everything is consistent.

    This is usually just a few minutes long.

  • Part 2: Editing

    Quicktime is an easy option for recording your screen.

    But, you can use another program if you wish like Loom.

    If you are going to show yourself in the corner (not required) - be sure that it doesn't cover any editing tools that you are using.

     

    Please be sure to explain what you are doing every.single.step of the way, what tools you are using and the settings! 

    It can sometimes be hard to see this on a screen share!

    Keep your voice volume consistent throughout the edit. There is a tendency to get quieter as the edit goes on.

    REMEMBER: HAND-EDITS ONLY for main teaching video!

    If you do use presets/actions in your normal workflow, AFTER the main teaching video, you can show how you incorporate this to make it a quicker process.

    Please do not reference other links, special offers, etc in the video. 

    We have a place to put this on your teacher page, which ensures the videos remain timeless (because links change!).

Are you promoting too? Here's how affiliate links work... 

You will receive a unique link (via ThriveCart) to share with your audience.

When someone clicks on your link, before it redirects them to our Edit-Fest sales page, it leaves a tracking code on their computer/device.

If that person buys within 90 days of clicking your link, the sale is tracked back to you.  You receive 50% of all sales tracked from your link, paid out automatically via Paypal 7 days after the sale.

IMPORTANT: The sale is credited to the last affiliate link clicked just prior to the purchase, based on the device/computer they used ​when they clicked link.

You MUST copy + paste the affiliate link exactly as we provide it to you.

It will look something like this

Please note: NO technology is perfect and we rely on the reporting of our system (ThriveCart). If you think this may cause you stress, let's discuss if being a promoter is a good fit - because quite honestly, if it's going to cause you stress, it's going to cause our team stress! (...and we're wrinkly enough on our own - haha)
