The complete agency video editing workflow

An agency video editing workflow is the repeatable system that moves client footage through intake, briefing, file organisation, editing, internal quality control, client review, approval, delivery and archive. Every stage needs an owner, a required input, completion criteria and a next handoff.

Agency editing gets hard when production leans on memory, private messages and individual editor habits. Footage arrives without a brief, brand references scatter across three tools, feedback comes from four stakeholders through four channels, and nobody can say which file was actually approved. A scalable agency workflow makes every input, decision, handoff and approval state visible.

The goal is not making every project identical. It is making the process reliable enough that adding a client adds work rather than chaos, while each client's content, brand, permissions and approval requirements stay separate.

Four guides: the client review workflow that turns scattered feedback into one authorised set of decisions, the social video workflow for multi-platform delivery, consistent branded edits across editors, and the operating system for running several clients at once.

The guides in this series

  1. How to create consistent branded video edits for clients

    Turn client brand guidelines into repeatable video rules, caption styles, reusable components, templates, exceptions and quality checks.

  2. Client video review workflow for agencies

    Turn client feedback into clear editing decisions with exact versions, scoped feedback, one consolidator, controlled revisions and recorded approval.

  3. Video editing workflow for multiple clients

    Run a multi-client editing operation: account setup, intake, capacity, priorities, queues, assignments, review, delivery and archive.

  4. Social video workflow for agencies

    Turn client footage into approved master edits, platform adaptations and complete publication packages, with the message intact.
