VORTEX.video

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a tour guide and the owner of my company, which focuses on touring and social media content creation. I’m also a YouTuber and the producer of my YouTube channel.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with VORTEX.video?

We needed video editing assistance with our long-form and short-form content.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

VORTEX.video provides video editing services for our long-form and short-form content. The process starts with a concept for a video, which might involve filming at home, in the street, or collecting footage and writing the script around it. However, I mainly handle the scriptwriting, and the team is focused on editing.

Then, I record the content as an interview or a monologue and send the recording to the editors with instructions. I leave much room for them to make their own calls. They use their editing tools and then send me a first draft.

The editing includes taking a long interview and cutting out what is not necessary. The editors decide what is needed and what is not, sometimes moving things around. Most importantly, VORTEX.video finds visual aids, which we call B-roll, to make the video look good and interesting. It's the editors' job to look for good shots to add to the video to make it interesting.

Afterward, I review it and provide editing guidance. We go through a number of drafts to get it to the right place, and then I publish it on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.

What is the team composition?

I mainly work with two people, the managers.

How did you come to work with VORTEX.video?

I found them on Upwork.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent over $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in January 2024, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Thanks to their work, we’ve seen increased views, clicks, and shares on our published videos. In fact, the viewers have been really receptive. Some videos that previously did not resonate with viewers now have gotten really good engagement and sharing activity. It's all due to the edits from VORTEX.video.

How did VORTEX.video perform from a project management standpoint?

VORTEX.video constantly meets deadlines and stays on budget. They're stellar. We use Google Spaces for project management. In fact, we also communicate and discuss projects through there.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m really impressed with how well VORTEX.video has managed the project. I feel like I’m in good hands with them. They communicate well, listen to the assignment, take the feedback, and incorporate it well. They ask questions when appropriate. Their great communication has led us to figure out many things that I think we couldn’t figure out. Overall, they’re very talented editors.

Are there any areas they could improve?

None. I’ve been very happy with their work.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Take advantage of their effective communication and articulate everything. Don’t be afraid to send them instructions that are as detailed as possible. They will read, listen to, and incorporate what you tell them. Be very communicative about what you’re thinking and what the options are.

Moreover, ask VORTEX.video what they think and how you should proceed. Take advantage of their communication to ensure the collaboration is as two-sided as possible so they can contribute their skills.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of a consulting company that provides counsel to financial advisors.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with VORTEX.video?

We needed someone to create and edit videos for us.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

VORTEX.video has helped us refine our video production process. We record videos using desktop software and send them a link afterward. In fact, we send them a video every two weeks. VORTEX.video takes it from there; they download the video and edit it. They merely handle editing since we handle all other video aspects ourselves. We use those videos for our social media channels and site.

We’ve worked together to determine the best equipment and how the video’s intro and outro should work. It's worth noting that VORTEX.video also works to improve the audio. Besides, they have created audio-only versions of our podcasts and short versions of the videos for social media.

What is the team composition?

We primarily work with one video editor, Viktor. He's our main point of contact.

How did you come to work with VORTEX.video?

I had been editing videos on my own for three years. Then we did some searching and found VORTEX.video on Upwork. Viktor sealed the deal for me because he walked me through all the project's needs.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent less than $10,000; we pay for each individual video.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in July 2024, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

VORTEX.video has successfully delivered several videos that we use for our website, YouTube, and social media. They've helped us get more views; the videos now garner more interest than the usual stale photos on social media. Moreover, we’ve received great feedback about our podcasts' content and audio quality.

VORTEX.video has really helped us improve our audio quality. Without them, we would not have reached this point. It's been great, actually. Now I realize how much better the videos are than those I edited alone.

How did VORTEX.video perform from a project management standpoint?

VORTEX.video meets deadlines and stays on budget. Initially, we had to discuss how we wanted the videos edited. However, we now send the videos and don’t have to be involved in editing. We communicate through Upwork messaging, and they're very responsive through this channel.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

I want to give a shout-out to Viktor. He does unbelievably good work and has consistently given me great tips on the equipment we should use. He not only does what I've hired him for, but he proactively goes beyond and betters the whole process by advising me.

What did you find most impressive about them?

VORTEX.video is just fantastic. Even if I have an urgent project, which is rare, they still accommodate my needs. I encourage people to use them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We have no complaints. There's nothing I would change about them.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Recognize they can help you with more than you think. Be open to their feedback because they know what they’re doing.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the marketing manager of a real estate company. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with VORTEX.video?

We hired VORTEX.video for their video production services. Our main goal with the engagement was to achieve brand awareness. We wanted to ensure that we produced videos consistently across platforms. If a user saw a video on various platforms, they should be able to know that it came from us. In other words, we wanted our branding to be consistent. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

VORTEX.video provides video editing and postproduction services. They’re responsible for our social media and website videos, including our Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.

Whenever we start a project with Viktor (Video Editor & Co-Founder), Anton (CTO), and their team, we create and assign tasks with detailed descriptions of the deliverables. We include details on where to upload the videos, the scripts, and the raw video they must edit. We either assign them one-time projects or recurring tasks. 

For example, if our sales director has a one-hour video, we divide it into 20 clips. We upload the video on Google Drive, and the VORTEX.video team works on it. We give them feedback and revisions, if any, and they revise their outputs as necessary. 

Moreover, VORTEX.video works on highlighting some aspects of our videos using 3D or 2D components. We create ads, so if we want to make a GIF or a video montage, the team handles it. They edit interviews and turn them into different clips with varying lengths, and we then post the clips on social media. Viktor ensures the videos look aesthetically pleasing and flow seamlessly. They trim some parts that are either unnecessary or redundant, such as fillers. 

What is the team composition?

Our main points of contact are Viktor and Anton. Viktor is a video editor, but he’s more like a project manager to us. They also have 2–5 other teammates working on our projects. 

How did you come to work with VORTEX.video?

Our CEO found VORTEX.video on Upwork. 

How much have you invested with them?

Our investment has been around $10,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

The engagement started in April 2022, and it’s ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

Because of the videos from VORTEX.video, our Instagram followers have grown to 61,000. We have around 19,000 followers on Facebook, around 154,000 followers on TikTok, and around 9,000 subscribers on YouTube. While our ads and SEO efforts have contributed to our growth, the main driver is the videos — they generate a lot of traffic. As a result, we’ve gained higher CTRs and better brand awareness. 

How did VORTEX.video perform from a project management standpoint?

For project management, we use Asana, where we assign their tasks alongside the full instructions. We also use a Google Spreadsheet to mark whether their deliverables have not been started yet, pending, ready for revision, uploaded, or published. Everything is organized, and the team is always punctual and communicative via Slack.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Viktor is communicative, proactive, and talented. He makes sure that we’re satisfied and is willing to go through 4–5 revision rounds to meet our standards. As a result, we truly enjoy working with him. Moreover, he always follows timelines and communicates with us about any emergencies or blockers to his outputs. 

Overall, he’s a talented video editor, and we like how he handles the team. He makes sure that everything is top-quality and meets our expectations. It’s rare to find video editors like him — others simply edit videos for the sake of editing them. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re a complete package.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there aren’t any. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

When it comes to getting video editing services, you must provide detailed instructions to avoid back-and-forth questions. Lay out all the information they need to get started.

They responded promptly and took the time to understand the project, asking me great questions about the product to ensure they got everything correctly.

No, there weren’t any. They should increase their prices because they were so good.
