Video Editing Services: Why It Pays to Outsource

Posted by Kim Moseman on March 27, 2017

Creating marketing materials, especially video content, is an extremely intimate business task. You’re working hard to put your brand’s message and personality into your campaigns, and you’re hesitant to outsource any tasks you don’t have to. What if an outside company doesn’t nail the tone you’re looking for?

The truth is that outsourcing video editing or production services makes sense for many companies. A professional video crew will be able to stay true to your vision and brand while offering significant benefits over keeping everything in-house. In fact, here are four reasons why it actually pays to outsource:

1. State of the Art Resources

A professional production company will have access to the latest and greatest software and equipment, which gives you access to more options and higher quality. For example, there’s a noticeable difference in the quality of CGI depending on which software suite you’re using. If you’re looking to use lots of special effects, outsourcing is almost always the best option.

You should also consider resources like voice-over artists. Hiring a crew that has an experienced voice actor adds to the quality of your video immensely. And even if they don’t have internal talent, they’ll know exactly where to look for a good fit.

2. Additional Perspective

It’s good to have your own vision of what your corporate video should be, but having another set of eyes look at it is extremely valuable. An experienced production team will have plenty of suggestions on small fixes to make your videos tighter and higher quality, which you often can’t see if you’re too engrossed in your original vision.

3. Scalability

When you’re relying entirely on your internal resources, you’ll be handcuffed by how much work can be done. If you only have one person who has the ability to edit, for example, and they’re busy on other projects, you won’t be able to churn out as much content as you’d like. The right partner, however, will be able to meet any demands you have, no matter what the volume is.

4. Frees Up Time and Budget

Outsourcing may actually save your company money, and it will definitely save you time. You won’t need to purchase expensive equipment or software, or waste an employee’s valuable time learning how to properly edit when they could be producing using their existing skills and strengths. Plus, the outsourced crew’s professional experience allows them to complete projects much quicker, freeing your whole marketing team to post the video and move onto your next project.
