When choosing a wedding video editor, look for the following.
An experienced wedding video editor usually knows what to include and not-include in a wedding video and have their own style and standard of video editing. If you look at their portfolio, you can have a rough idea about the video editor and decide if their style and standards align with yours. If the video editor has videos with various styles, that’s great because it tells us that he can adopt to different styles and standards.
A responsible professional always commit their time to meet the deadlines. Depending on the expertise of the video editor, most professionals have quick delivery times. Unfortunately, it’s only after investing in a service that you discover whether a video editor have a quick delivery time or not. However, you can also rely on other’s feedback, if you personally know the person.
A wedding video editor must have good communication and collaborative skills. This can ensure that you have the freedom to talk with him and convey your ideas for the video editing. If the editor has poor communication and collaborative skills, he often struggles to understand your motives and ideas, and unwilling to revise the content, which can result in poor video editing outcomes. Therefore, try to talk with the editor before hiring him. Tell them what type of wedding video you are expecting from them and ask for their opinions. If they can provide you constructive feedback, you can ensure that they will fit the job.
If you are not convinced with the portfolio, others feedback and the conversation with the video editor, you can ask for a sample wedding video from the editor. Some video editors offer free samples, however, most of them are amateur editors. Most professional video editors will offer you a sample at half of their price, so that you can try out their service before deciding long term collaborations.
