Boost Engagement with a Virtual Video Creator Assistant

Faster internet speed and more advanced devices have allowed for increased screen resolutions to become more and more accessible to the ordinary consumer. Such has led to marketers tapping into this new technology to promote their brand. Moreover, the videos are being shown on numerous digital platforms ranging from blogs to websites; however, more so on many social media channels, especially Instagram and TikTok. The video is more attention-grabbing than text or an ordinary photo. However, video editing requires skill and time to produce high-quality work. Not everyone has the time or the talent to do this type of work. For this reason, many choose to hire a virtual video-creator assistant, also known as a video editing virtual assistant.

What is a virtual video-creator assistant?

A virtual video creator or video editor assistant works remotely from you, producing and editing high-quality video content. This content can then be used on various platforms, depending on the requirements of the business. The standard type of video includes corporate videos, branded videos, instructional videos, promotional videos, testimonial videos, and more.

What else can a virtual video creator assistant do?

Apart from generating the videos, a virtual video-producer assistant (or virtual assistant video editing) can also create and implement production schedules; plan video shoots, edit current videos, set up storyboards, generate production budgets, record and oversee sound projects, arrange and backup your video library; and rent, buy, and arrange for equipment.

What skills can a virtual video content assistant offer?

A virtual video editing assistant will have various skills; however, specific skills are standard with most virtual assistants. These technical skills include:

  • Pre-production knowledge includes understanding how to set up video cameras, lenses, lighting, sound mixers, microphones, and all other video-recording equipment. Moreover, some video creators will know storyboarding and scriptwriting.
  • Production skills – These include directing abilities, familiarity with production sets photography, and knowledge of sourcing and hiring talent essential to video production. Therefore, a virtual assistant can assist with any production, as long as it is not a live shoot. Otherwise, they can arrange all the stock footage, imagery, and sound for the production of the video.
  • Post-production abilities – Video-editing abilities, sound-editing skills, graphic-design skills, as well as sound- and video-compression skills are all imperative for post-production. Having an understanding of video library management and backup is similarly highly beneficial.
  • In addition to technical skills, understanding the brand’s style is essential. Video production, besides being very technical, is also a creative field − a brand can come alive if the creativity is there.
