In the Newspaper sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Short Film Editing delivers measurable results that transform how newspaper professionals communicate with their audience.
Newspapers and news publishers are racing to become video-first organizations, but the transition challenges deep-rooted text-and-photo workflows. Reporters need to become comfortable on camera and with basic filming techniques. Quick-turnaround news videos — 90 seconds that summarize a breaking story with graphics, B-roll, and correspondent standup — require streamlined production pipelines that newspaper organizations historically lack. Investigative reporting increasingly uses video as primary evidence and storytelling medium, with documentaries and visual investigations driving subscriber growth more effectively than written articles alone. The economic model is shifting: video advertising CPMs are 5-10x higher than display, making video investment increasingly justified by revenue potential.
82% of internet traffic is now video content. Media companies must produce broadcast-quality video at editorial speed and scale. The shift from text-first to video-first newsrooms demands new workflows, skills, and equipment — while maintaining journalistic standards and editorial integrity.
Digital media competes for attention in 15-second increments. Content must hook viewers instantly, work silently with captions, and adapt to multiple platform formats. Traditional media must reinvent itself while digital-native outlets raise production quality expectations.
A digital news outlet pivoted to video-first content strategy. Their audience tripled in 18 months, advertising revenue grew 230%, and they secured a distribution deal with a major streaming platform based on the quality of their documentary content.
Media video drives sustainable growth: video news content generates 6x more social shares than text, multi-format repurposing extends content lifespan 5x, and video-first newsrooms see 65% higher audience engagement. Media brands with strong video presence command 3x higher CPM rates from advertisers.
1. Media Ingestion & Organization: We import all raw footage, organize by scene/take, create proxy files for efficient editing, and synchronize multi-source audio.

Short film editing demands a storytelling sensibility that goes beyond technical assembly. We work with directors to shape 5-30 minute narratives through precise scene transitions, emotional pacing, and dialogue timing that respects the script's dramatic arc. Deliverables include festival-ready DCP files alongside standard MP4/ProRes exports. Our editors are trained in three-act structure and work iteratively through storyboard reviews, rough assemblies, and polished final cuts — typically over a 2-4 week timeline.
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).
