Some ramblings...
-- I think every videographer (and photographer) hits an editing wall after they start their business. Maybe a year or two years in. They start off as part-timers, with a separate full-time job. They produce a few good videos, taking a lot of time over the edit. They charge low. They get word of mouth bookings. And suddenly it's overwhelming after the next wedding season hits. It's hard to stay on the treadmill. The amount of money they're charging is nothing compared to the time involved, clients are getting angry at delays, and the whole thing is just a nightmare. There is no free time -- there's always a backlog of editing -- and you always have this weight on your mind. So, definitely, I think your video on the topic is hugely valuable.... To put this another way: how many video/photo studios are actually still around after 5 years, 10 years, 15 years? I think the vast majority are gone within 2/3 years.
-- The studios that I've seen survive for a decade have all outsourced. Both video and photo studios. I have friends who specialise in Serbian weddings and Indian weddings. The Serbian guy Dropboxes his videos to Serbia, the Indian guys send theirs to India. In these cases, the labour costs are cheap, and video production becomes a production line, rather than a stress-over-a-masterpiece-every-time sort of thing, and you can actually sleep at night.
-- Old-school '80s and '90s videographers (and still many videographers now!): often had an ESG background, and often went around the whole day with just a single camera, shoulder-mounted. And they thought to themselves, "I'm here to record the day" rather than "I'm here to create a film"; it was a job, not an art. If they found formulas to speed up time and allow them to dial in a good product, then they were happy to take advantage of them. And one of the big secrets was something you talk about -- "editing in camera". After all, it was much more of a pain to edit tape-to-tape than to edit in Premiere Pro. So, you're basically asking yourself: "If you couldn't edit at all, how would you shoot?" This is sometimes an exercise that people do in film school. Anyway, the result of thinking in this way is streamlined post-production, particularly since it's just one camera. These '90s videographers would ingest, dump it all on a timeline (or the pre-FCP equivalent), top and tail each clip, click export, and basically they're done! So, the edit (from go to whoa -- ingest, cutting, outputting to VHS/DVD) could be over in 10-15 hours for a 2 hour documentary, and it's ready to deliver to the client by Tuesday or Wednesday. And maybe you shoot real estate or funerals during the rest of the week. In terms of a general business model, these guys would be all about quantity. They'd charge low enough to book 100+ weddings a year, but end up with a good yearly income on the back of that.....
-- One hurdle to get over with outsourcing is finding someone good/reliable in the first place. I mean, if you hire someone to edit and they do a crap job, or even just an average job, what do you do then? You give them requests for changes, it comes back, and you're still not happy. Well, either you're nice and still pay them; or you're mean and refuse to pay them. But either way it's a waste of everyone's time, and probably money, and just puts you further behind with the backlog.... Well, I think your option of only getting people to do the non-creative parts, and prepare the edits, is a great idea. After all, this is how editors do things for feature films, and it's how a lot of photographers do it -- getting someone else to go through and do basic corrections to images. **But** that still leaves the onus on you to do the creative parts.... I think the next step, unless you find someone who's reliable and can do a full edit by themselves, is to charge more, basically. Reduce the number of weddings you're doing per year, but hopefully derive the same or better income....
This information is GOLD.
Your videos have really helped me up with my wedding films.
Thank you Adam.
You’re welcome! Thanks for saying so 🫶

Thanks Adam! I do need to stop over shooting, feels like I have had the camera constantly rolling when I get to editing haha! What platforms are you finding best for music atm?
yeah its a huge save having to cull less. I'm still all over Artlist and Musicbed
Great tips, especially as I've just spent 5 hours on a 6 min highlight lol. Lots as I'm also learning Davinci as I go though
Thanks dude! To be fair, 5 hours for a 6 min film is fairly speedy!
@@AdamWingFilms I haven't finished lol.. audio, colour correction and creatives still to go
@@kilroyfilms7590 oh haha 🤣 was gonna say.. god speed!
@@AdamWingFilms just finished , started again at 8pm, so that's another 5 ish hours including render and upload....just over 10 hours, is that good/bad, only my 6th full edit
That’s pretty good I’d say! With plenty of practice you can half that too
