We use a ratio to determine how long it takes to edit any given video. The first number in the ratio is the number of hours and the second number is the length of the video in minutes. So a video with a ratio of will take 6 hours to edit. Based on those four factors, our edit ratios can be as little as for a simple, scripted video with a narrator and b-roll.
While more complex documentary-style videos with multiple locations, interviews , and shoot days can have edit ratios of or higher. You better learn to decide when to take a shot and when not to shoot. It is where your professionalism comes in handy. However, other factors would affect it no matter how good you are at what you do. One of them is the fear of looking as if you are not up to the task.
You ought to shoot with confidence. Confidence only comes from knowledge and proper preparation. Also, to some extent, you hardly stop to think before making that decision. That can be crazy and comes with consequences. One of them is undecisive shooting, which can make video editing take so long.
Be relaxed enough to shoot to the best of your ability. Make sure that you focus on a single thing at a time. If you do so, you will not only capture great imagery but also take less time to edit. These are outside issues that are sometimes beyond your control.
You are done with your shoot, but you find no studio available to edit your film. But booking often goes for a toss if editing of previous bookings gets delayed or the studio management suck at their work. The rest are normally productivity or subjectivity concerns. For instance, the work might be too much for the video editor.
The worst part is if there was a misunderstanding between you and the client. Be confident and stop second-guessing every edit you do. You better stop overthinking about what the filmmaker will say.
If you give it your best, he will love it. It is no secret that editing a video can take a while. It all depends on several variables.
We will make an argument using a one-minute video. Once we cover the time you need to edit a video that will take a minute, you will have an idea of how much time you need to edit a5-minute video. The assumption is that you have already produced and filmed your video.
For a one minute video, you will need a quarter an hour to download all the necessary files. Editing the dialogue or conversation will take an hour. Choosing and adding a music track needs half an hour. The same case applies when it comes to exporting and uploading your video.
Set aside an hour to correct the color, adjust the framing, add motion to clips, and add transitions. That is roughly 5 hours for a 1-minute video hence more than a day for a 5-minute video.
It would be best if you kept in mind that there are chances of editing again after a client suggests a revision. One may need an hour to change b-roll clips and fix typos. Exporting and uploading it the second time will also take 30 minutes. Nevertheless, that may be more or less depending on several factors. They include repeatability, the quantity of the footage, quality, editing style, and type of video, but to mention a few.
For instance, you will spend less time editing a vlog than an educational tutorial, comedy sketch, or music video. Editing, including music, voice, transitions, basic jump cuts, and sound effects, among other special effects, also takes time. Another determining factor is the amount and quality of the video. If you are a YouTuber who has a specific style, it means spending little time editing your video.
After all, you will already have a set, color, lighting, and profiles beforehand. In summary, there is no definite time as to how much time one will take to edit a 5-minute video.
Nevertheless, there are high chances that it will take more time than shooting. Besides, many other factors are affecting the time that you spend editing. The article has, to a large extent, explained why video editing takes so long. Therefore, you should be patient the next time you ask someone to edit your video. The time estimate here is for a one person location shoot. The equipment is a 3 point interview lighting setup, as well as a lav mic on the subject, and a HD camera on a tripod for the interview, with a mix of camera on tripod and hand held for the b-roll.
So the total time for pre-production and filming the one minute video, not counting travel time, is: 5 hours and 30 minutes. The estimated time for editing this project assumes one dialog track, together with one music track, 3 to 5 second b-roll clips, as well as straight forward lower thirds graphics and logo graphics. Of course you have to budget time for editing changes. Examples of typical changes include misspelled names and switching out b-roll clips.
Again, there are many variables on estimating time for a film production. Featured photo courtesy of RawFilm. Previous Next. Pre-Produce and Film the Video.
