Workflow: freelance editor client drafts
Short answer
A freelancer can use a skill to produce a first draft fast: receive the client's clip, run Layers or Explainer, review stills, share a draft for notes, then polish in an editor and deliver. The licence allows making videos for clients but not handing over the skill files.
What are the steps?
- Collect the clip and the client's goal.
- Run the skill and review stills.
- Share a draft for notes.
- Apply notes and polish in your editor.
- Deliver the final file.
What does the licence allow?
Agencies may use a skill to make videos for clients, but may not give the skill files to the client. See the licence and agencies and freelancers.
Where do you stay manual?
Storytelling, complex projects and brand templates. See Layers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I tell clients I used a skill?
Be transparent about your process as you normally would, and deliver quality work.
Can the client reuse the skill?
No. They would need their own licence.
How do I keep drafts organised?
Use a folder per client and per video.
What if the client wants a different look?
A skill has one look, so use your editor for custom designs.
