3 Reasons Why You Should Subscribe To a Video Editing Service

I’m so grateful for Pamela Reif, Travis Eliot and Jeanette Jenkins because when I can’t go text on my phone at the gym in between sets, I sweat it out with these three right in my living room. One thing these three entities have in common is that they are content creators. Pamela on Youtube, Travis at Inner Dimension TV and Jeanette as a guest trainer on PopSugar. Releasing videos is a huge aspect of their lives and naturally it creates sustainable income and businesses. So, how can you be a power producer, releasing a ton of videos monthly on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook but also save time and money? The answer is a video editing subscription service. Here are three reasons why you should subscribe to a video editing service. Let’s get into it.

1. It Saves You Time

It’s no secret that you can film for 45 minutes and then spend 6 to 8 hours

editing that raw footage, adding in cool transitions, learning how to do it if you’re unfamiliar, spending time picking the right songs, making sure that the piece is perfect by adding in titles and lower thirds… You could have simply spent that time shooting 2 more videos, hanging with your friends, having dinner with your family and let’s keep it truthful…sleeping. But no, you were stuck editing your video. At first, it’s kind of exciting because it’s where you piece it all together and see your video come to life, but if you’re naturally an “idea person” and a performative person, it can really drain you when you have a new idea, but have 3 or 4 videos in the tuck left to work on. Instead, you could just send it to your dedicated editor who can get your videos done in 48 hours while you vlog your Disneyland adventure with your friends. So that’s the first one, it’ll save you time.

2. It’ll Save You Money

If you are not personally editing your videos, you are getting it done by an editor. The going rate for a pretty simple video edit with little to no color grading, no sound mixing and few revisions is about $150-$200. If you’re attempting to or are releasing 4 videos per month, you’re paying $600 to $800. Oh no. Check this out, stick to your 4 video per month schedule and pay a flat fee of $299. Now if you’re a power producer and you are trying to put out more than 4, no problem, unlimited videos per month for only $615.

Another angle is if you’re monetized on Facebook or Youtube, a heavy editing workload can mean that releases are slowing down and ultimately losing you money. One thing I don’t like, is losing money. A subscription will help you stay on track.

3. It Adds Production Value

As a content creator, we’re sometimes forced to be a jack of all trades and ultimately masters of none. We may have incredible on-camera skills and technically know how to operate Adobe Premiere, but truthfully, it’s not your bag. Don’t worry about that anymore, not only are these editors solely focused on editing, they’ve got the catalogue of hi-def royalty free stock footage and audio, Adobe After Effects presets, and more that’ll add some flavor to your videos in their back pockets. It can take your videos from Slamdance to Sundance, all within 48 hours. That’s the third one, it’ll make your videos shine!

When it comes to building your content empire, it’s never done alone. Building your team requires trust, efficiency and effectiveness. Now is your chance to surround yourself with only the best. With a video editing subscription service, you’ll be sure to save your time to shoot more videos, make more money by releasing more videos and insures your videos are top notch which will appeal to way more people (making you more MONEY!). Simple problems require simple solutions!

2 Ways To Make Your How-To Videos Shine

Making corporate or how-to videos? It’s time to make them to the best of your ability. Let’s quickly review two ways to make your how-to videos shine!

1. Framing

Let’s remember that videos are of course a visual medium. The viewers will tolerate a few odd shots here and there but ultimately, you want to be efficient in your storytelling, or in this case your instructions. Be sure to frame yourself in a way that best aligns with how the information is being told. Let’s look at two options.

1. Center Framing

Let’s use this shot of YouTuber MKBH or Marques Brownlee, king of talking head tech videos. You see he is in the center of the frame, his head is not cut off at the top, in fact leaving maybe a quarter of an inch above his head. This shot is very effective because it forces the audience to view the speaker and ONLY the speaker. We can safely assume that if this shot remains, there will not be graphics or images on the screen to the left of the right of the speaker because it would destroy the symmetrical effect of the shot

2. Picking a Side

Let’s review this shot, where the subject is on the left side of the frame. The speaker’s head is not cut off, leaving a nice half inch of space above his head. The background is blurry, showcasing that the subject in the forefront is most important. On the right side of the frame, we have a large space where the editor is able to introduce new graphics to the video whenever they please. Choosing the right shot will always encourage your instructions to be told exactly how you want them to be consumed by the viewing public!

2. Lighting

Those familiar with the KKO blogs might assume the second subject in this article would be about sound. It almost was. But we’ve gone over sound here already so we can talk about the importance of lighting your video.

Let’s looks at an example of a well lit how-to video and a not so well lit video.

This is a great example. Option #1 shows the speaker in a dimly lit room and his face is very dark. Studies have shown that darker images get less reach and less engagement than a brighter image. Therefore, the first and second lighting example showcase a non-effective lighting strategy for their video.

How about the third option? Can you spot the issue in this photo? The speaker’s face is not evenly lit, casting a harsh shadow on the right side of the frame, on the left side of his face. It’s important that the speaker is lit evenly, so that the viewer’s eyes are not distracted by unfortunate lighting choices, even if the viewing public doesn’t know what they are necessarily distracted by! It simply will not be appealing.

When it comes to making how-to or corporate videos, the trick is making the image an appealing one for the viewing public. It’s really that simple! If you’re set to be releasing many videos throughout the month, it will benefit you to sign up for a video editing subscription service so that you can film more and edit less. KKO offers an extremely affordable video editing subscription option for content creators!

KKO Productions: Our Services From Pre to Post Production

The lights, the cameras and all of the action is sometimes a lot to take in! How do we even get to that point where we’re on set, filming, capturing eye boggling footage for the world to enjoy? Well, welcome to KKO Productions. Let’s get to it.

CONCEPT

First and foremost, you have an idea. You want to shoot a music video, or a live webinar,a real estate video, a short film, an advertisement, a demo reel/ acting reel, a social media video, an interview or a live event…(phew)…OR MORE! You first want to define your concept. Have just an idea? No problem. We have talented writers on the team that have written treatments and copy for some of the coolest people and companies in the world. We will develop your idea from writing the script to creating story boards and shot lists. Creativity is our job and we enjoy it! So there you have it, our first service is helping you define your concept.

BUDGETING

Ok, so you have this great idea about a man who builds a space ship in his back yard and flies off to the moon. That’s a great idea, honestly. Now, before we pull out our cameras, our grip truck and our slate, let’s find out how much this idea will cost you. We are happy to put the numbers down on paper for you, describing the cost of your every desire down to the departments. That goes from pre-production and production costs like permits, rentals and crew, to post production costs like video editing, sound mixing and mastering and stock footage fees for videos you may want. So don’t worry, we can create the perfect budget to get your vision from script to screen.

PRE-PRODUCTION

In this stage and industry, planning is key. If you plan for most things, you’ve already succeeded. So in the pre-production stage, we’ve already solidified your concept, so what’s next? Well, now we pull our team together. Sometimes our in-house team is all that is required to get the job done. Other times, we need to bring along more camera operators, or another production sound mixer, or a gaffer or make up artist or…well you get the point. So we’ve established our team, what’s next? Then we help find your locations. Want to shoot in an alley? We’ll find the perfect alley. Want to shoot in a cool lofty warehouse, we’re on it. Need permits to shoot in these locations? No problem, we’ll take care of filing that for you. Want your shoot to be catered? We have options. Next, we create your shooting schedule and make sure our entire team, no matter the size, are all on the same page. Then we make our purchases: hard drives, costumes, if needed, so on and so forth.

PRODUCTION

Oh boy, now we’re at that point where the lights are shining, the cameras are rolling and sound is speeding. In production, we most likely will run into some kind of issue. Planes flying by, neighbors blasting music but only after we’ve pressed record, so on so forth. It’s a natural part of the job. Now, luckily, the KKO team isn’t new to issues. In fact, we handle them with a smile on our faces as we find on-the-spot solutions. Some beautiful things have been created because an unexpected problem introduced us to a wonderful solution. We’re either lucky or just that experienced. *Wink*. Alright, the day is over, you memorized your lines perfectly, or if you’re like me, you improv them because remembering is hard, and you head off home. Our job does not end here!

POST PRODUCTION

This is where the heat meets the ingredients. This is where the movie gets made! Post production can entail a variety of aspects. In a simple production, where we need just simple edits, your KKO editor will slice your footage up to perfection. Another aspect of video editing is color grading and color correction. This is where we create the tone and look of your movie. Want it to look icy and isolated? Or how about warm and vibrant? All of that, we take care of in the coloring process.

Video Editing

Many times our clients are shooting videos that they hope to post within the next few days. Videos that need piecing together and some color grading we’ll gladly add royalty free stock footage and audio from our catalogue to add production value and we’ll have an edit for you in 48 hours. Yep, 2 days (or less). If you’re a power producer, you’ll be able to utilize this video editing service as many times as you’d like every month for a low monthly fee. Check out the KKO video editing subscription service here. If you’re looking for a more one-on-one experience for a project that requires more detail, time and effort, we are happy to build out a custom package for your needs. Not a problem.

Sound

Some of us have heard it before but here’s a quote that may seem a little weird. Ready?

“The most important part of the movie is the sound”. I heard it from the 2016 film All About The Money. But ultimately, it’s 100% true. If your sound is flat out bad, it doesn’t matter how sleek your shots are, it’ll be too hard to watch and people will turn it off. So to solve this issue, we’ve partnered with one of the greatest post production sound mixing and mastering studios in California: Eravox Studios. Together, we’ll elevate your sound quality to the next level. Adding in professional sound design, mixing it so it sounds like your favorite movie and mastering it so that it sounds good on any headphone or monitor speaker. That’s how we do it. Though this service does not come with the video editing subscription service, it’s worth the investment!

Graphics and Visual Effects

Lastly, handling graphics and visual effects can be an interesting request therefore difficult to describe. That being said, we’ve worked on eye popping lyric videos, 2D animations and more. Have a special request? Feel free to email us at service@kkopro.com and we’ll be happy to help you to the best of our ability.

When it’s all said and done, all of the work is open to revision until you say that you absolutely love it! That’s how we operate here at KKO. Contact us and let us know what you are working on next! Until next time!
