Freelancer platforms like Upwork and Fiverr have commoditised video editors and started a race to the bottom.

It’s hard to find highly skilled creative editors that just ‘get it’.

Editors are told that if they want to get better at editing, all they need to do is ‘practice’.

But if that were true then cooking three meals a day would make everybody a professional chef.

Clients who spend their days pushing emails lack the knowledge to provide constructive creative feedback.

This causes production bottlenecks and increased costs while diminishing audience retention rates.

Unsplice trains video editors and teams to become industry-standard creative storytellers.

Our mission is to build and teach creative editing systems, systems that can lead to industry recognised editing standards. We are trying to help build a world where consideration for hiring video editors can be based on graded skill alone, without prejudice of race/gender/name, and setting standardised rates for all professional editors.

“None of these things were ever explained to me in such a clear way.” – Pia, Los Angeles

FREELANCE VIDEO EDITORS

When you start your journey as a freelance video editor it can feel super overwhelming. You feel lost because there’s just so much to learn. And you don’t know what you don’t know.

Your biggest concern is where the next job coming is from. But you can’t find the work because you don’t have the portfolio, and you don’t have the portfolio because you can’t find the work.

Unsplice helps beginner through to upper-intermediate video editors become In-demand Editors for:

• Documentaries
• Commercials
• Branded content
• Music videos
• Content creation

“I can’t express how grateful and appreciative for the work I have been able to do with you. Unsplice 4 lyfe.” – Mike, USA

VIDEO TEAMS

“Can you make it pop?”

Speak this (or any other vague creative feedback) to an editor and you’ll often be met with a blank stare.

You end up going through round after round of changes without much progress because you think to yourself, “I’ll know it when I see it”.

What should be 2 days work turns into 2 weeks.

That’s a 500% increase in cost.

And those constant rounds of feedback are 10x-ing your cognitive load.

But this bottleneck can be fixed.

Imagine if your video team was able to perfectly communicate creative ideas that:

• Editors could execute without query, and nail every time
• Streamlined team interactions
• Decreased rounds of feedback

This would lead to:

• Increased audience engagement
• Increased CTR
• Faster delivery
• Decreased production costs
• You becoming a production superhero

“Shiny does a great job of conveying what it takes to capture an audience and keep them engaged.” – Mike, USA

Unsplice Teams equips video editors and teams with industry-leading creative storytelling and workflow skills that streamline the entire video creation pipeline; increasing audience retention and CTR, and reducing bottlenecks, cognitive resources, and production costs.
