Cloud computing has been an incredibly useful advancement in terms of file sharing and teamwork. Thankfully, new video production platforms are adapting to cloud management systems, streamlining the post-production process for editors and clients alike.
Read on to learn about editing efficiency, and the benefits of using a cloud video production platform:
Time management.
Time is money, and this is especially the case if you’re a freelance video artist. Working within the collaborative cloud saves time for both client and editor. Instead of being required to schedule meetings and meet in person, suggestions for editing can be made directly within the platform, all within the time and place of your choosing. The client’s ability to keep up with the changes being made to the video can save not only time but also money in the long run, by avoiding mistakes and correcting versions before an editing request is made too late in post-production.
Version management.
Within the collaborative platform, the editor is able to track multiple versions of the work, allowing both himself and the client to directly witness the changes that have been made to previous drafts and ensure that these edits have been fulfilled.

Next, the upload/viewing process is streamlined by knowing precisely which version is the most updated take on the video. The version management feature within the platform avoids confusion from video files that have been renamed, replaced, or lost.
It’s time to stop searching your email, hard drive, and external devices for the version from which you need to resume your work; within the cloud, everything is there and waiting exactly as you left it.
Security management.
Your video material will be secure and viewable only to the people to whom you grant access within the video platform; invitations for viewing will be linked to your email address. You can also create different rounds of editing cycles so that comments by the production team are in a conversation private from the clients.
The benefits of using a cloud-based video production platform are plenty. The ability to easily view updated versions of works in progress is key for both the editor and the client, ensuring that their visions align with each other’s and that this vision is successfully executed in the video work.
