Event Date: [Insert Date]

Purpose: To edit and prepare the event video for public access, ensuring high clarity, sound quality, and engagement through professional video editing techniques before uploading to the relevant streaming platform.


1. Post-Event Content Management

1.1. Collect Raw Footage

  • Source of Footage:
    • Retrieve all recorded video files, including primary and backup camera feeds, audience shots, speaker presentations, and additional footage (e.g., behind-the-scenes or pre-event material) that was recorded during the event.
    • Ensure all audio files, including microphone feeds and ambient sound, are collected and stored securely.

1.2. Backup and Storage

  • Initial Backup:
    • Backup all raw video and audio files to external hard drives and cloud storage for redundancy.
    • Ensure all raw footage is organized by camera feed, audio track, and event segment for easy access during the editing process.
  • Folder Structure Example: /Event_Folder /Raw_Footage /Camera_1 /Camera_2 /Audio /Edited_Footage /Final_Cut /Drafts /Graphics /Logos /Lower_Thirds

2. Video Editing Process

2.1. Importing Raw Footage

  • Video Editing Software: Use industry-standard software (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve) for video editing.
    • Import Footage: Import all camera angles, audio tracks, and any additional assets (such as event graphics, music, or intro/outro sequences) into the video editing software.

2.2. Organizing Footage

  • Timeline Organization:
    • Arrange raw footage in a timeline according to the event’s flow (e.g., intro, speaker sessions, interludes, audience interactions, etc.).
    • Synchronize the audio and video to ensure that the visuals align with the speakers’ dialogues. Use audio markers or syncing techniques to maintain accurate lip sync.
    • Label and color-code different layers (e.g., video tracks, audio tracks, background music, lower thirds) for better workflow management.

2.3. Video Editing for Clarity and Quality

  • Cutting and Trimming:
    • Remove any unnecessary content, such as off-topic conversations, interruptions, dead air, or irrelevant footage.
    • Cut out any technical glitches, missed cues, or black screens to ensure that the flow of the event is smooth and continuous.
  • Smooth Transitions:
    • Use smooth transitions between camera angles and scenes, including cross-dissolves or cutaways to maintain viewer engagement.
    • Apply zoom-in or zoom-out effects where needed for emphasis on important moments (e.g., key speakers or significant audience reactions).
  • Color Grading:
    • Enhance the visual quality of the footage through color grading to ensure consistent color balance across all camera angles.
    • Adjust exposure, brightness, contrast, and saturation to achieve a professional look that matches the event’s mood and lighting conditions.
  • Audio Cleaning:
    • Edit and clean the audio tracks to remove background noise, distortion, or unwanted echoes.
    • Use audio filters (e.g., EQ, compression, noise reduction) to ensure clean, clear sound for both speakers and audience.
  • Syncing Audio and Video:
    • Ensure that the microphone audio from speakers and the ambient room sound is synced correctly with the video feeds. Make adjustments to ensure there is no lag between the visual and sound.

2.4. Adding Graphics and Overlays

  • Lower Thirds:
    • Add lower thirds for speaker identification, key points, or contextual information during the event.
    • Ensure lower thirds are visually consistent with the event’s branding.
  • Event Branding:
    • Insert event logos, sponsor logos, or branding throughout the video (e.g., intro/outro segments).
    • If applicable, add call-to-action graphics for engagement, such as social media hashtags, website links, or event promotions.
  • Intro/Outro:
    • Create an engaging intro sequence that includes the event name, date, and any branding elements (e.g., a logo animation).
    • Design an outro sequence with a thank-you message, social media handles, and other information on how to stay engaged post-event (e.g., a reminder to subscribe to updates or join the mailing list).
  • On-Screen Text:
    • Insert any necessary on-screen text or captions to clarify specific details such as session titles, speaker names, or discussion points.
    • Add captions or subtitles for accessibility, especially for key moments or segments that may require clarification.

3. Quality Control

3.1. Review the Full Edit

  • Playback Review:
    • Watch the full edited video at least once from start to finish to ensure it flows smoothly and is engaging. Check for any technical errors, such as audio mismatches, video stutters, or graphic misplacements.
  • Quality Check Checklist:
    • Visuals: Ensure no visible pixelation, jerky movements, or blurred shots. Verify that the color grading is consistent and professional across all shots.
    • Audio: Check for consistent volume levels, clear dialogue, and balanced background sounds. Ensure that no audio clips are missing or misplaced.
    • Graphics: Confirm that all text, logos, and graphic elements appear at the correct times and remain on screen long enough for viewers to read.
    • Transitions and Edits: Ensure that transitions between scenes, speakers, or segments are smooth and not jarring.

3.2. Exporting the Final Cut

  • Export Settings:
    • Export the final video in the appropriate format for online streaming (e.g., MP4 with H.264 codec).
    • Use an export resolution of 1080p HD for web uploads unless higher resolution (e.g., 4K) is required.
    • Set the bitrate to a suitable value (e.g., 5,000 – 10,000 kbps) to ensure a balance between video quality and file size.
  • File Naming Convention:
    • Ensure that the final file is properly named for easy identification (e.g., SayPro_Monthly_February_SCDR5_Full_Event_2025.mp4).

3.3. Compression

  • File Size Management:
    • If the video file is too large, apply a compression tool (e.g., HandBrake) to reduce the size while maintaining visual and audio quality, especially for faster upload speeds.
    • Ensure that the final video file size is compatible with the streaming platform’s upload limits.

4. Uploading the Final Video

4.1. Choose the Platform

  • Streaming Platform:
    • Choose the appropriate platform for video upload (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo, or event-specific platforms).
    • Ensure the platform supports the video resolution (1080p or higher) and has sufficient bandwidth for smooth playback.
  • Metadata:
    • Fill in the video title, description, tags, and other metadata (e.g., event details, speaker names, social media links).
    • Add a custom thumbnail for the video to ensure it’s visually appealing and relevant to the content (e.g., a shot of the speaker or event branding).

4.2. Setting Privacy and Accessibility Options

  • Privacy Settings:
    • Set the video’s privacy settings according to the intended audience (e.g., public, unlisted, or private).
    • If the video is for exclusive access, ensure that it’s marked unlisted or private and that only authorized viewers have the link.
  • Subtitles and Captions:
    • Upload or enable captions/subtitles if they were created during the editing process, or use the platform’s automated captioning feature.
    • Ensure the captions are accurate and synced properly with the video.

4.3. Final Quality Check on the Platform

  • Check Video Playback:
    • Once uploaded, check the video for any playback issues (e.g., buffering, quality degradation) to ensure it streams without interruptions.
    • Confirm the video is displaying correctly on various devices (smartphones, tablets, desktops).

5. Post-Upload Actions

5.1. Share and Promote

  • Social Media:
    • Share the video across social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) with an engaging caption and links to the video.
    • Use relevant hashtags (e.g., #SayProSCDR5, #SayProEvent) to promote the content.
  • Email Campaign:
    • If applicable, send an email to event participants, sponsors, or subscribers with a link to the video, and encourage them to share or comment on it.
  • Website Embedding:
