How to delegate video editing
To delegate video editing, share raw footage in one folder with a short brief: purpose, length, style references, and must-keep moments. Your editor cuts the story, adds captions, music, and graphics from your brand kit, exports in the formats each platform needs, and keeps project files for later changes.
How to delegate video editing, step by step
1. The SOP outline
- Download footage and read the brief.
- Build a rough cut that tells the story within the target length.
- Add captions, lower thirds, music, and brand graphics.
- Share for review with timestamped comments.
- Export final versions for each platform and archive project files.
2. Access and tools to set up
- Editing software (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, or Descript).
- A shared drive for footage and finals.
- Brand kit, fonts, and licensed music library.
- A review tool such as Frame.io for timestamped feedback.
3. What good looks like
- Videos are delivered on a predictable schedule.
- Every video has accurate captions and consistent branding.
- Feedback rounds get shorter over time.
4. Weekly metrics to review
- Videos delivered and turnaround time.
- Revision rounds per video.
- Watch time or retention on published videos.
