Video editing questions

Still unsure? Ask us directly

What formats do you deliver?

Long-form video in 4K or 1080p, vertical 1080 × 1920 video for Shorts and Reels, and thumbnails at 1280 × 720 for upload. Full specs are on our delivery standards page.

Will the same editor work on my channel?

Yes. A lead editor and designer stay with your account so pacing, colour and audio stay consistent across your videos.

How are revisions handled?

You review drafts in the portal and request changes with specific notes, or approve in one click. Revision rounds are agreed for each type of video.

How is this better than hiring a solo freelancer?

You get a team instead of one person: editors, designers and a quality check, with continuity when someone is away. Your channel keeps publishing on schedule.
