Why Press & Publishing Needs Square Video Editing

In the Press & Publishing sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Square Video Editing delivers measurable results that transform how press & publishing professionals communicate with their audience.

Specific Challenges for Press & Publishing

The press and publishing industry is undergoing a profound digital transformation where video has become essential for survival. Newspapers and media outlets need video to compete with social-first platforms — turning print stories into visual reports, animating data journalism, and producing video-first breaking news content. Behind-the-scenes footage of newsrooms in action, printing presses rolling, and editorial meetings adds transparency that builds subscriber loyalty. These videos distribute across websites, social accounts, YouTube news channels, and digital subscription marketing funnels targeting readers willing to pay for quality journalism.

Video Challenges in Press & Publishing

Reinventing Publishing for the Video Era

Print and digital publishers face a fundamental transformation: audiences consume 78% of news and editorial content through video. The shift from text-first to multimedia newsrooms requires new skills, workflows, and production capabilities — while maintaining editorial quality and journalistic standards.

Publishing houses must create author interviews, book trailers, and editorial video content to compete for attention. The economics are challenging: video production costs more than text but generates significantly more engagement and advertising revenue.

Success Stories & Case Studies

Regional Newspaper — Digital Transformation

A regional newspaper launched a daily video news segment alongside their print edition. Digital subscriptions grew 156%, advertising revenue from digital video exceeded print ad revenue within 18 months, and the newsroom won two digital journalism awards.

Publishing House — Author Series

A publishing house created an author interview and reading series for their catalog. Book sales increased 89% for featured titles, and the series built a subscriber community of 45K loyal readers.

Key Benefits for Press & Publishing

Audience Growth & Revenue Diversification

Publishing video drives sustainable transformation: video news content generates 6x more social shares, author interview videos increase book sales by 89%, and video-first editorial strategies drive 3x more social sharing and 4x higher advertising CPMs. Publishers with strong video content see 65% higher digital subscription conversion rates.

What Makes Square Video Editing Unique

Square (1:1) editing is designed for in-feed social media placement where vertical and horizontal formats lose screen real estate. We compose shots within the 1080×1080 frame, using split layouts, text bars, and border treatments that maximize visual impact in a scrolling feed. This format performs particularly well on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram grid posts. We deliver batches of 3-8 clips with matching visual identity, including burned-in captions for sound-off viewing. Standard turnaround is 2-3 days per batch.

You receive: final edited video in multiple formats (MP4 H.265, ProRes 422 HQ, web-optimized versions), project files upon request, separate audio mix, thumbnail/poster frame, and formatted versions for each target platform (16:9, 9:16, 1:1).
