We use Outliant and their many video editors/assistants to finalize the production of quality content. The goal is to let their expertise handle all of the final production stages of our content.

SOLUTION

I was already in the market for individuals who can help with content creation and creativity for our content when I came across Outliant. It is very easy to work with Outliant's team instead of trying to deal with several different individuals.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail, including the project steps and all stages of production.

I have been working with Outliant now for 8-9 months, and I am now able to send raw footage to the lead-editor with a small description of the "feel" or the "vibe" that I would like to portray within the project. They have grown to know the exact style that I am looking for, so minimal corrections are needed after they've completed their work. It is very convenient to have the lead-editor as a main point of contact. The lead-editor then communicates directly with the rest of his team on my behalf. This saves me a lot of time throughout my day to work on other important tasks.

I communicate with the lead editor and he is able to communicate with the rest of the team. Videos are uploaded to a website called Frame, where it is very easy to leave timestamped comments and suggestions. They are very good at receiving feedback and correcting anything in a timely manner.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

I love the fact that their team works across many time zones and there is never a time that I cannot reach somebody.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

It would be unrealistic to say there's anything I would change. I am 10/10 satisfied.
