Editing Preview of Recent Video I did for Ben Black!

@TommyYTProducer Yea like if it's being used after the editor made some changes that is really useful to use it then. Keep up the good work bro.

There is a point. Because imagine working on 2h podcasts or even just 20min videos. You ask the editor to make a minor change but you don't want to re watch the entire thing to make sure there's not a random glitch in the middle of the video. That's also why I never said this totally replaced reviewing, as that's physically impossible to do

I built a software that catches video errors for you. Most media companies still review videos manually. Someone sits there, scrubs through the timeline, squints at the screen and hopes they don't miss anything. A frozen frame at 3:15. A black screen at 4:36. Stuff that slips into the final cut and shouldn't be there. I got tired of that. So I built a Video QA Tool that scans videos of any length for technical errors. Black frames, frozen frames, media offlines, solid color glitches. It finds them, classifies them by severity, and maps them on a timeline so you can jump straight to the problem. The first video I tested had 8 issues I would have missed in a normal review. 3 critical. In a 16 minute video with 30,000 frames. This is the kind of internal tooling that separates good production teams from great ones. Not better creatives. Not more output. Better systems and tools. If you run a media company and your QA process is still "watch it and hope for the best," there's a better way.

@TommyYTProducer @chrxskondylis This is actually creative stuff, I didn't know the buttons can be this much helpful.

@chrxskondylis yea I spent weeks figuring this out, I have never seen someone doing it. Maybe because it is smart, or maybe very stupid

I just build a chrome integration to automatically add leads on Airtable. With the right tools and structure this can be built in less than 30 minutes. Filling forms adds too much friction to the whole lead generation process, so you need to find quicker alternatives

Oh I gotchu, recently what was happening with me my review ended up happening all of the work himself as the review takes more time than the editors work itself, idk how but I also gotta figure out how to make sure that the editor learns from the reviewer. Cause reviewer rn just fix the vid and nobody learns it.

@Editzen_vfx no you make the QA person train the editors, and you reach a point when the videos are all nearly perfect

A QA person whose calendar is full every day is a sign your team is undertrained. The goal of quality control is to make itself unnecessary. If your reviewer is always busy, the real problem is upstream.

@TommyYTProducer You made this by using chatgpt right? Cause my formulas are also the same as these

One Airtable formula managing dozens of client batches. Tracks capacity needs, idea status, project progress. Updates automatically based on real numbers. When you work in batches, manual tracking breaks fast. Built this once, never touch it again.

@TommyYTProducer I also have made like hours of content, but still sometimes I need to train them manually idk why

@Editzen_vfx I have some yea

Talent retention is more important than client retention. Here's why: Lost a client last month. $4k MRR. Hurt? Yes. But we replaced them in 2 weeks. Lost a key team member 6 months ago. Took 3 months to replace. Another 2 months to train. Projects delayed. Quality dropped. Other team members stressed. Real cost? Way more than $4k. This is what most companies get wrong: - They obsess over keeping clients. - They treat team members like replaceable parts. Then wonder why they're constantly in chaos. Because the reality is that good clients want good work and good work requires good people. I have hired 50+ people between 2024 and 2025. 85% retention rate. Not because of retention bonuses or fancy perks. Because I invested time in: - Making sure people are paid fairly - Giving them real problems to solve and ownership - Being available when they need me - Actually caring about their growth. learned: You can't easily replace talented people who know your systems, understand your standards, and actually care. Keep the people, everything else follows.

@TommyYTProducer Oh okay, everyone has their own choices, idk why but I prefer to use grids because of sums and averages from it.

@Editzen_vfx I really am not a fan of the grid

Finding the right statuses is one of the most important things when building a solid system. Too many statuses means having an overwhelming amount of info to manage, often manually. Too few statuses means not having context about what is going on in the production

@TommyYTProducer Ah man, this is really my dream to build an automation like this , it's really cool to see progress daily like this .

This automation is great for any business that works with projects and tasks: 1 minute before midnight a bot sends on slack the recap of the projects that were finalized on that day It allows managers to always be on track with deadlines and progresses

@TommyYTProducer It's really really cool bro, Ngl using it since 8 months, I never thought of switching to any other plateforms.

Airtable is really powerful. Especially for businesses that are aiming to make $200-500k MRR I am running some tests with the interfaces. The flexibility and possibilities are crazy

@TommyYTProducer Idk, maybe most editors are not interested in agency kind of stuffs. By the way, what would you do if you were that editor?

Today I got ghosted by an editor with 3,000 followers The situation is getting MORE RIDICOLOUS every single day I am about to expose every single one person who ghosts me, this is childish and immature. I am one recruiter talking with 400+ editors and I do not ghost anyone

@EditorArtem What you do for the socialize part?

I finally hit $2.5K/month video editing in August 2023. But I wanted so much more... So I locked myself in my room, and experimented with every productivity hack until I cracked $10K/month. Here are 5 that actually worked:

@TommyYTProducer Do you teach/review everyone each time manually, Or do you have recorded sops?

Here’s how you retain and train successful editors: My feedback is logical, I'm not criticizing videos based on personal preferences. If your feedback makes sense to the editors, they’ll follow it and feel motivated to improve.

@CharlieImperium 100

Charlie Munger said: “The first 100K is a bitch”. While he was talking about people saving their first hundred K, the same milestone applies in business. Except now, Charlie Morgan says: “The first 100K/month is a bitch” And if you’ve been stuck trying to crack it, you’re not alone. So I’m giving you the exact BLUEPRINT that helped me crack it (and keeps helping others do the same). This is the EXACT playbook for hitting 6-figure months consistently without burning out, guessing, or starting from scratch every time. No BS. No filler. Just the stuff that actually moves the needle. If you want it, comment below and DM me “100” and I’ll shoot it over to you. (I’m only sharing it for a few days. After that, it’s gone).

@TommyYTProducer @stideadz Okay sounds good.

@Editzen_vfx @stideadz I dont really use discord, mainly slack, you can dm me tho

4 new editors hired in the last 20 days I founded my method to do it, and I used it at scale

@TommyYTProducer @stideadz What's your discord tho, we can connect for future opportunities.

@Editzen_vfx @stideadz Yes

@vfxaman_ Ty Aman, 🙏🏻
