Video Editing Can Be Very Fun and Profitable!

Studio Owner Alan Fon

 Video Editing and post-production are the heart of most Home Video Studios. Everything is driven by content nowadays and there is so much content out there: VHS tapes, 8mm tapes, Mini-DV tapes, 3/4” tapes, 8mm, Super-8mm and 16mm film, thumb drives, cameras, discs, DVDS, Mini DVDS, hard drives, iPads, iPhones, smart phones, etc, etc. Content is everywhere. This makes for a very fertile environment for Home Video Studios editors. In other words, there is a lot of business out there! So Video Editing is one of our most popular and profitable services.

Don’t know how to edit? Don’t worry! One of the first classes you will take at HVS Basic Training is Video Editing. We use a great system by Adobe called Premiere Pro. Premiere Pro is a professional level editing platform but it is easy to learn. Well let’s put it this way, easy to learn initially and then you might take some time in mastering it. Home Video Studio takes you through a two day training program on Premiere during your first week of Basic Training here in Indianapolis. We also offer advanced courses throughout the year and provide live technical support. 

Typical jobs range from editing somebody’s wedding or vacation to putting together a promotional piece for a small company or organization. Video Editing is my favorite profit center for three reasons:

  1. It is extremely creative and challenging! Customers always have a variety of elements for you to draw from. Your job is to put these elements together in a way that makes your client’s message shine. 
  2. I like the fact that you can edit anytime or anywhere. So you can be in your studio editing early in the morning or late at night or you may be editing down a the local coffee shop. Why not?
  3. Editing is a very profitable service for your new studio. We do a lot of value added productions which means that you can set the price of your editing job not on the time it took to do the piece but on the value that it gives to your customer. Video Editing is a value added service.

We’ll teach you to multitask in your studio so you can be editing and your other services will be running in the background. At HVS it is all about putting together a good solid creative product for your client and of course… making money. 


I would be happy to chat with you. 

May the Force be with You!
