Work Ethics

Getting a client is step one. Keeping them is where the money is. Two habits that make clients stay.

Check every frame before delivery

Never miss a deadline

Turn one client into a long-term retainer

01 / 04

Attention to detail

Pay close attention to every frame, cut and detail. That's what high-quality work is made of.

02 / 04

Time management

Deadlines matter in video production. Managing your time well means you deliver on time, every time.

03 / 04

Communication

Reply within the same working day, even if it's just "got it, working on it". Clients don't leave editors who are slow. They leave editors who go quiet.

04 / 04

Use AI, own the result

Use AI to speed up captions, cleanup and first drafts. But you check every frame before it goes out. The client hired you, not the tool.

You made it

This is the last step. When you're done, there's a gift waiting for everyone who finishes.

Your task before the next lesson

Write your delivery checklist (export settings, captions, audio levels, spelling) and use it on every project.
