Why Are Some Remote Video Editors Charging So Little?
Why Are Some Remote Video Editors Charging So Little?
We all know that making a film is not cheap. There are lots of costs, particularly when it comes to the pre-production and production phases of a film. But what about post-production? Surely it shouldn’t cost a lot, especially if you already have someone on your team who can edit a project within a few days? Of course, even if you don’t there are always freelancers online. And with websites like Fiverr, their rates are very cheap. So, it’s a win-win situation, right? Wrong. There are so many pitfalls when it comes to hiring a video editor online. Here are a few reasons why some remote video editors charge so little.
It’s Amateur Friendly
One of the many reasons why you’ll find many remote video editors, who charge $5 on websites like Fiverr, is that they’re amateurs. Either they’re university or college students, who’re looking to improve their portfolio and earn some cash at the same time, or they’re amateurs in the filmmaking industry, trying to widen their range of talents, to cover the entire production process, and expand their portfolio.
Regardless of the person, you can be sure that they will have little to no experience in video editing, and by ordering an article with them, you’re making yourself their guinea pig. So, if you’re looking for a professional quality edit, you may be shooting yourself in the foot. Some amateurs might be better than others, but you will still have a film that may not be appropriate for that film festival you wanted to submit to or a wedding video for a client who was looking forward to a magical experience.

I’ve Seen That Template Before
Another reason why these remote video editors charge so little is that they use templates. If you’ve used the likes of Windows Moviemaker before, you may come across those pre-set frames with visual templates like a sportscast overlay, or pre-animated credits and titles. They’re what these video editors use, and they will use them often. Not only that, if they’re using online video editing tools, then you may be looking at an actual timeline template, like the ones you see on TikTok and Instagram. These templates are easy to find and use because they’re everywhere.
In the end, your video will look like something a school child will do for a media project. In fact, if you know a few video editing techniques yourselves, you’ll complain that what you get would be something you could have made for free. So, you’ve lost yourself $5 on something that even a child can make.
It’s A Scam
As with every industry in the world, cheap doesn’t always mean reliable. In fact, if you come across a $5 gig, with a flawless portfolio, chances are that gig is a scam. Of course, you may come across a genuine amateur, who is that good at what they do, but more often than not, that gig is fake.
Sometimes, you’ll find yourself waiting weeks on end, for a video that’s only half done, and because of the frustration you feel, you’ll end the order, without even collecting something that remotely resembles the portfolio they’d advertised. Other times, you’ll only wait a few hours, and they’ll deliver a piece that looks like all your footage is being copied and pasted into a timeline, without any real thought. In the end, you’ve just lost $5 for something not even worth showing to anyone.
Half-Done Doesn’t Mean All-Done
It may seem like a good idea at first, hiring a cheap video editor, online. After all, they don’t take on daily rates, and they won’t charge you for extra software that they might need, to create that special effect that you want. But you will run the risk of hiring an amateur, a side-job, or a scam. Of course, that doesn’t mean that gig isn’t one of the rare few who are actually good at what they do, but more often than not, those $5 gigs are too good to be true.
At the end, when all is said and done, you will need to hire a professional, to either clean up the edit or completely redo the entire project from scratch. They may even bring in a team of editors with them, just because your project may be a huge undertaking. Regardless, you’re going to be spending even more money for a film that may not even be 10 minutes long.

We at Cut Pro Media don’t ask much. In fact, we can guarantee that we too don’t charge rates like those professional freelancers.

5 Tips To Appear Natural On Your Wedding Video
5 Tips To Appear Natural On Your Wedding Video
If you’re hiring a videographer to film your wedding, there’s a good chance that they can get frustrated with you and your guests, as they’re filming your wedding, because everyone (yes everyone) reacts differently when they’re in front of a camera. Even you. Some people over-act, while others freeze up. There are so many different reactions to the camera, and while some moments can be staged, others need to be more candid, so that you can truly feel nostalgic when you watch it. So, we’ve compiled a list of 5 tips to appear natural on your wedding video.
1. Show Off That Smile
When it comes to film and video, lots of film directors always ask for more light, even on bright and sunny days. Why? It’s because you can either look 2-dimensional or shadows are very dark on camera. For example, if you’re shooting your wedding video on a cloudy day, there isn’t much variation to the light around you and on you. And it’s because of this, you’ll blend into the background, making you and everything around you seem like a 2D image. On the other hand, if you have a lot of light coming from the sun, then any shadows on your face will look very dark. So, any expression you make can be skewed by the shadows.
So, to offset this, you will need good lighting. On a cloudy day, lights need to be installed, to make you and your guests stand out from the background. If the sun is too bright, reflectors are needed, to brighten up the shadows. It’s all about lighting you and your guests to look your best when posing for pictures or creating those staged moments in your video.

2. Get Comfortable
Sometimes, people are naturally good in front of a camera. They can show emotions, but not be too dramatic, they can be subtle, but not be robotic or wooden. However, for many of us, that feat can be difficult. We’re not always exposed to a camera, and we’re not always ready for that lens that’s pointing at us. In one word, we’re not all photogenic. It can take time both for you, your partner, and your guests to get used to the camera.
So, get used to having a camera pointed at you. Get comfortable with your videographer and be ready for surprise close-ups. Sometimes, a videographer will breach your personal space, to get that all-important tear on your face, or if they’re clever with the zoom on their camera, they’ll shoot it from afar. No matter what method they employ, get comfortable with a camera and its videographer, because knowing that it’s pointed at you can either make you stiff or act out in ways that you may regret later.
3. Be Confident
One of the best ways to show off the emotions you feel is by being confident. That means dress confidently. It’s your wedding day after all, so no matter what you look like, as long as you’re confident, you’ll shine brightly, and the natural emotions you’ll exude will show up on the camera.
So, get your hair and makeup done right, wear that elegant and graceful wedding dress, and strut your stuff down the aisle, because your wedding day is supposed to be filled with joy, happiness, laughter, and love. Show the camera, and your videographer, that you can be confident, even when the camera isn’t pointed at you.
4. Know The Process
A wedding day is a momentous occasion, not only do you need to remember what to do during the ceremony, the schedule of the day, and the rounds of speeches you need to listen to, you also need to remember the filming process too. While you may not be filming a movie, with those big and lavish sets, or camera crews, you’re still filming, and that means there will be some staged scenes that you’ll need to be a part of.
The film, regardless of what type of film, has a process, whereby the camera crew needs to set up for certain shots, or they need to move about to get the right angle, or they need to get up close and personal, to shoot those poignant expressions on your face. So, talk to your videographer, and understand their process. Some can be invasive, while others are not. You need to understand what they want to do, so you know how you need to act when the time comes.
Ignore The Camera
The best way to get candid footage of not only you but your guests as well as to ignore the camera. Set an example for them, so they can feel comfortable too. You’re not the only one who’ll be featured in your wedding video. Your guests will be too, and if they’re not comfortable, it’ll show. So, set an example. Have fun and get your guests to have fun too. Only then will your video feel and look more natural.
It can be difficult for some, but if you can coax them out of their shell, you’ll be able to show their true nature on video. And if you’re showing your wedding video to future children and grandchildren, you’ll be able to tell them the story behind their reaction.
Bonus: Edit The Best Version Of Yourself
Needless to say, a wedding video shows the highlights of the day. It doesn’t matter how long or short it is, both the best and worst of the day will be captured, so make sure that they “make it through the cutting floor”, as the saying goes. Hire a good editor to make sure it is the best version of the day as it can be, and if scouring the internet for reliable sources seems too much, trust us. We at Cut Pro Media will ensure that even the tiniest detail that might seem insignificant makes it through to the final edit. Because even a small flower or a table setting can set up the right look for the next scene in your video. Our team of experienced editors will edit the best version of your wedding day for you, and they won’t leave anything out. So, check out our website for more information and our price packages.

Think Twice Before Hiring A Video Editor
Think Twice Before Hiring A Video Editor
When you think about hiring a video editor, you’ll find that the standard search results end with either freelance individuals or production companies that discuss rates and haggle over prices. With these individuals or companies, you can get the extremes, from ridiculously cheap to rip-offs and overpriced, and terrible quality services to the best of the best. Not only that, there will always be a few exceptions to the rule, but these gems are hard to find. So, it can be very difficult to choose the right video editor for your project. So, here are a few reasons that’ll make you think twice before hiring a video editor.
It Might Be A Scam
If you’re in contact with a video editor that sounds too good to be true, that’s because it is. More often than not, if their prices are tempting, and they boast amazing quality videos, they’re probably scamming you. If they show off prizes they’ve won, and you’ve never heard of them before, you’re being scammed. Don’t always trust their words. You’ll end up with a video that won’t measure up to the standards they’d shown you. Those showreels or portfolios are fakes, stock footage or outright stolen from professional editors. So, don’t always go for the cheapest and most attractive option.
Not only that, but if they’re taking their time with your project, and they’re giving you a thousand reasons why it’s taking so long, it’s because they haven’t even started it, and if they’re pros at what they do, they’ll scam you out of more money, claiming that they need “software” or “more memory” or a hundred other things, to get your project completed. Be careful when dealing with freelancers and always make sure that they’re legitimate traders. Look for customer reviews or portfolios on other platforms, websites, and even in directories. If they’re not there, it’s a scam.

I’m Looking For Experience
Another reason why some editors have low prices is that they’re amateurs, looking for industry experience. These editors can be very difficult to handle. It’s because they’ve either graduated from an elite school, with a qualification, or they’re still in school, and the only way they can pass their course is by having some form of professional experience. These amateurs are a big “hit and miss” situation, because some are good at what they do and can create a professional quality video, or they’re still trying to understand the basics. Not only that, some of them may be working on several projects at once since they’re either still in school, or they’re trying to churn out videos as proof of their “professionalism”.
That’s why it can be difficult to secure a good freelance video editor. If you’re dealing with an amateur, you’re going to need proof that they’re as good as they say they are. So, you will need to ask for a portfolio or a showreel that they’d edited together. You will need to see complete works, like films, commercial videos, music videos, and wedding videos. You will need to see proof of their certification, and qualification. There are so many things you’ll need to ask for that sometimes it can be too much, and too overwhelming. So, you give up. If you are dealing with amateurs, graduates, and those looking for experience, you will need to exercise a lot of patience, because you need to make sure that these amateurs are up to the task, and if not, you’ll be left with a half-finished project, and no one to sell that video to.
I’m Far Too Experienced For You
Now, let’s take a look at the other end of the scale. There are those who sell their services at extortionate prices. Some are more justified than others. Like with the ridiculously cheap options, you can also get big-time scammers on this end. The prices and portfolios these scammers display could be taken from others, who are legitimate editors, and when you send off your video to them, you’ll get a video that doesn’t even look half as decent as the videos they’d claimed they’d made. Not only that, they’ve ripped you off, scammed you out of your money, for a shoddy job or a half-completed piece, with (and I quote) “I’m far too busy with more high-profiled work, you’re better off with someone who is less experienced than I am”. Yeah right!
Of course, there are those that are genuinely good editors, but how can you separate them from the scammers? It can be very difficult to tell the scammer from the professional, and as with the amateurs, it’s a game of chance. And even if you’ve done your homework, scoured the Internet for reviews and portfolios, you may still end up with a less-than-desirable video.
I’m Attached To This Studio, You’ll Need To Take It Up With Them
Another major setback to hiring a good video editor is that they’re attached to production companies or studios. What this means is they could be attached to a big studio name, like Warner Bros, or 20th Century Fox. They could even be a part of smaller names, but the situation is still the same. They’ll charge extortionist prices because they need to attach the studio or company’s names to your project. Why? Because they work for them. So, instead of hiring one video editor, you might be hiring a whole production team, because the studio will need to get involved.
Trust Outsourced
Don’t worry. Outsourced video editors aren’t attached to production companies, nor are they sole traders, who could easily scam you. They’re reliable, experienced, and you can guarantee that their prices are set. They won’t change, and there is no need for haggling. What you see is what you get, and if you trust us at Cut Pro Media, you’ll be sure that no matter what your project is, you’ll get professional quality videos in return. Our editors are experienced, they’re reliable, and they will do their very best to ensure your video is the best quality it can be.

How To Make And Edit Videos For YouTube
How To Make And Edit Videos For YouTube
Creating YouTube videos isn’t as straightforward as you think it is. Even if it is a simple slideshow of images, you still need to have the right voiceovers, background music, and the right stock videos or images, for your YouTube video to really stand out. That’s why you need to do your research before you decide to start shooting. Know your audience and create a video suitable for them. Not only through the footage, you get, but through the video editing too. You’ll need to use the right editing techniques to grab your audience’s attention. In this article, we’ll talk about how to make and edit videos for YouTube.
While anyone and everyone can upload videos to YouTube, it takes a lot of research into creating videos that can go viral. It’s not only in the publicity of the video, or in the channel that’s created it, what makes a video successful, is in the way it is made. If it is eye-catching and innovative, if its topic is interesting, then you’re guaranteed to have a video worth watching. Remember, although YouTube videos can be seen as social media videos, YouTube videos are also a form of filmmaking, which is not only an industry but an artform. So, be sure that your videos are worth watching, both in what you capture and in how you edit them.
Preparation Is Key
Before you even pick up your camera and start shooting, you first need to know what kind of videos you want to make. It isn’t all about “winging it” and hoping for the best. You need to know what kind of topics are viral on YouTube. And you need to understand what kind of editing styles are popular and how to create them. That doesn’t mean you should copy what’s already out there. It means you need to create your own style, with the same or similar techniques that have already been used.
Make sure you know what kind of audience you’re after as well because uploading any video onto YouTube won’t get you the views you need, even if you pay for promotions. You’ll need to make sure your videos will be watched and aren’t just sitting on the platform, waiting for people to come across them. So, before you even start shooting, do your research and see which bandwagon you want to jump onto.
Getting The Footage
Once you’ve done your research, then you can start filming. Of course, whatever style you choose to film in, remember to remain consistent. For example, if your first uploaded video is a vlog with certain characteristics with image pop-us or you’ve used clips of known films or stock footage, keep filming in the same style, until you have established your own audience base. Don’t forget to also have a steady schedule for your videos. Otherwise, your audience will either grow disinterested in your channel or give up trying to watch your latest videos, because you’ve uploaded too many at once.
Of course, once you’ve established your base, you can start creating “anomaly videos”. What this means is you’ve deviated from your original style, to experiment with other forms of filmmaking, like creating artistic b-roll films, or cinematic short films, and even interviews with other influencers, celebrities, or public figures. Remember, it is only once you’ve established your presence on YouTube and on other social media platforms, can you experiment with different styles of filmmaking.
The Edit
Once you’ve picked your topic, and your filming style the hard part comes next: editing. Although the possibilities for a YouTube video are endless, there is always a right way and a wrong way, to edit your videos. What that means is you should make your video edits consistent. Like your filming styles, you need to edit your videos in a similar way to one another.
Of course, that doesn’t mean you should create the same kind of videos as your most successful ones. It means, if you’ve edited your footage into a short film, then you’ll need to continue to create short films. If you’re creating infographic videos, then keep making infographic videos.
Your videos need to be consistent, for your audience to know who you are and what you do. If you create videos that are completely different from one another, for example, you’ve uploaded a cinematic short film last week, don’t upload a vlog this week. Keep creating short films, until you’ve built up an audience base who are familiar with your work. Once you have that base, then you can start experimenting with different video styles.
So, create a template. It can be an intro card or an opening animation, as well as an outro card or closing animation, one that pushes to action new viewers, to subscribe to your channel, or check out your other social media pages. These simple templates ensure that your video continues to promote not only the video itself but your brand as well.
You Don’t Have To Do Everything
If you’ve already done your research, you might’ve noticed a pattern in the way successful channels upload their videos. You’ll notice that many channels upload one or two videos every week, or even every day. As a new content creator, you’ll find this very difficult to do. Why? The editing.
Editing is the most time-consuming part of any video-making process and can take weeks, even months to complete a video, even if it is for social media platforms like YouTube. So, how do the professionals do it? It’s simple, they outsource their videos to professional video editors.
By hiring a video editor, YouTubers, influencers, and content creators can spend their time coming up with new content. They won’t have to worry about their videos, while they’re being edited, because they can be sure their editors know what they’re doing. That’s why successful YouTube channels will always have new content every week, or even every day. It’s because their editing is done by professionals, who work quickly and efficiently.
So, if you want to get the same quality, try working with our professional video editors. We guarantee you’ll get the best quality videos for your YouTube channel, for a fair price. Our video editors can create any kind of video for you, whether it’s a promotion for a business, a feature film, or even a simple vlog, we can guarantee you a speedy delivery, so you can upload those monetized videos, for YouTube, and earn more for the content you make.

Outsource Video Editing: 5 Reasons Why You Should Do It
Outsource Video Editing: 5 Reasons Why You Should Do It
As a videographer, you’ll probably want to go out there and shoot, but one thing is standing in your way. Video editing. It’s tedious and time-consuming. You’re more interested in being on location, in a studio, or on-set, rather than sitting at your desk, piecing together thousands of frames that look like each other. That’s why you should always either know an experienced editor or outsource one. Of course, if you don’t know an experienced editor, it can be tricky to decide which editor to go for. Some video editors might be too inexperienced, while others may demand too much money. That’s why it is a better idea to outsource video editing to a professional video editing company, than asking a freelancer. Here are 5 reasons why.
Less Work, Less Worry
As we all know, video editing is the most time-consuming part of any type of video production, and as a company or videographer, you’ve got many other projects lined up for development. So, why not give your video to an experienced outsourced video editor? It’ll save you time, so you can focus on that next project or pitch. When editing a video, you’re spending at least an entire day to piece together a basic timeline, for your footage.
That’s why projects can take weeks or months to complete. Video editing looks at the minute details of your footage, and because each frame looks the same or similar, you’ll have to decide how best to cut your videos. So, why not entrust that process to someone who already knows what they’re doing? It’ll save you time to work on your next projects, and you won’t have to reshoot or negotiate a reshoot because you’re missing footage. An experienced video editor will know how to make the best video out of the information they’re given.
Get The Most Out Of Your Footage
By having someone else working on your video editing, you’ll be able to relax because they’ll have all the information, they need to edit your video to the standard you want. Experienced video editors will know when to cut your footage, to make them look seamless together. So, for example, if you’ve got two cameras set up at different angles, filming a certain event, they’ll know exactly when to cut the action, so that when they change the angle, your audiences won’t know that the action they’re seeing came from two different cameras, or even notice that the angle had changed.
Make Sure You’re Updated
Even in video editing, there are styles that trend, especially when it comes to social videos, like the ones you see on TikTok or Facebook and YouTube. You’ll want to be on top of those trends, and it’s not easy, especially when you’re working on so many projects. It’s easy to forget that there are trends in video editing styles, so if you’re so focused on the filming aspect, you’ll miss out on the latest edit styles too. That’s why outsourcing an editor will help. They’ll know what the trends are, and if they see fit, they’ll add them to your videos. All you have to do is trust that they know what they’re doing.
It’s Your Quality
An experienced video editor will know how to make your videos the best they can be. What that means is they’ll be able to make a video of the same quality as your previous ones, and better. It doesn’t just mean giving them your footage and saying, “Piece this together,” it means you need to give them the information they need to edit a high-quality video. That way, you won’t be risking your time and money, they’ll know exactly what to do, and you won’t have to sweat the small stuff.
So, before you work with a video editor, make sure you have all the information they need. That means, have a plan ready. Use a storyboard, or a timeline to help your video editor know exactly how to piece your footage together. Not only that, but they can also add in any extra transitions, effects, texts and audio to ensure your video stands out, with your consent of course.
Time Is Money
In video editing, it’s difficult to say how expensive a service costs, because video editing is the most time-consuming part of any video production and the longer a video edit takes, the more money you’ll have to pay. That’s why it is best practice to outsource your video editors. Not only can you be guaranteed an experienced video editor, but you’ll also get the best quality videos they can provide, within the time frame that has been set.
Here at Cut Pro Media, we outsource the best video editors for you and not only that, but the price is also better than you’d probably find with regular freelancers. Starting at just $80, our video editors will provide the best quality for you. Our videos will match your style, and you can get up to 5 minutes of film ready and waiting for you to show the world.
It’s Time To Outsource Your Video Editors
Are you convinced yet? Remember, when you’re looking for outsourced video editing services, don’t just look at the editor’s portfolio, look at their reviews, and see whether they’re easy to work with or not, because if they can’t compromise or communicate, what is the point in searching for freelancers? By entrusting us to do the heavy lifting, in your negotiations, you can be sure your footage, your video’s plan and your information are in safe hands. You won’t have to worry about expenses, because everything is included in the plans that you’ve signed up for.
Not only that, instead of waiting weeks and months for a video edit to be complete, you can expect your videos to be in your hands within days. Can a freelancer do that? So, check out our latest offers and see whether video editing outsourcing is right for you. We’ll ensure that you have the right package for the right video.
