The day-to-day work, and what to ask before you agree an engagement.

Questions to ask before you commit
- Which editing software do you use?

Evaluation
How to evaluate a video editor
One representative task, the output to expect and how to judge it. Availability, experience and working arrangements are confirmed before an engagement begins.
The task
Edit one 30–60 second video from your raw footage, with captions, in the formats you need.
What you should receive
- Final videos in agreed sizes
- The project file
- Notes on licensed music and fonts used
How to judge the work
- Assess narrative, pacing, audio, legibility and delivery formats; synthetic video production is a separate requirement.
- Review audio, readable captions and message accuracy at the intended size. Source files, exports and future variants need explicit delivery scope.
