1. Outsourcing to a Freelance Video
Editor
Interview with a Freelancer

2. What are the most important considerations an employer
should have when planning these types of projects?
• Consider about the rate you are giving your workers, making
video presentations with very nice and complicated graphics
is hard to do.
• About the time, do not rush your workers especially if you
gave them a complicated video to work on.
• Making complicated TV commercials can take months and
making movies may take years to finish.
• Your video does not differ; it might take a day or even a week
to finish. Give them time.

3. What are some guidelines and/or best practices that
will ensure project success?
• Give a solid plan/workflow/script on how you want your
project to be.
• Provide materials like images, sound files, or video clips that
are needed for the project.

4. What are the most common risks involved with
outsourcing projects related to your area of expertise?
• Over-bidding on a project or when freelancers charge too
much for a video.
• The worker might leave the client hanging with the unfinished
work.

5. What are common milestones or project phases in
this area of outsourced work?
• The script/plan for the video: The client must provide an
instruction or a sample video on how he/she wants the
outcome to be like.
• Give the materials needed: Images, sounds, video clips, or
even templates.
• Check your employee’s work from time to time to make sure
they are on the right track.

6. What are three fundamental errors that can result in
project failure on the employer’s behalf?
• Do not rush the worker
• Do not make changes with the instructions again and again
• Do not add tasks that are not in the job/project description

7. What are three fundamental errors that can result in
project failure on the freelancer’s behalf?
• Do not take a lot of jobs while currently working on one.
• Do not take time for granted in this line of work, good results
mean lots of valuable time put into it.
• Do not insist your ideas/opinions if the client has provided a
solid instruction already.

8. What project related details should an employer
provide to successfully complete the project?
• Provide a script and/or instructions on how you want the
result to turn out.
• Also provide a sample video if you have one in mind, so the
worker would clearly know what you are looking for.
• Provide materials that you want in the video: images, sound
clips, and video clips.
