STANDARD OPERATION PROCEDURES (SOPs)

RMRS Video Checklist

RMRS Video Creation – Sponsored and Non-Sponsored Videos

  1. Import raw footage into Premiere Pro, using a 24p, 1920×1080 sequence.
  2. Line up camera audio and recorded audio.
  3. View footage, selecting final takes.
  4. Nest the camera footage and camera audio, re-frame, color grade, add a vignette, and add RMRS logo.
  5. Fade in from black at beginning of the video, 12 frames long.
  6. Create the main title slide.
  7. Add RMRS channel intro after the title slide.
  8. Continue through the video, adding images/b-roll videos.
  9. Use b-roll videos as much as possible. Download free stock footage from Video Pexels or Pixabay. You can also get b-roll videos from Thomas.
  10. Images are sources through www.freeimages.com, Morguefile, Imagebase, Unsplash, Pexels, StockSnap, or Gratisography. Images of clothing are usually taken from clothing brands via google search, and then modified in Photoshop.
  11. If there is a gap without images (15+ secs) or an interesting point, zoom in on Antonio, usually a 130-140% zoom factor.
  12. Edit out any mistakes or tangents, using images to cover the cut if possible, otherwise use a close up to hide the transition.
  13. The goal is to make the final video less than 10 minutes, if possible.
  14. At the end of the video fade to black, 12 frames.
  15. Add end screen template.
  16. Nest the recorder audio, adding dynamic compression to even out the volume and setting the gain to hit -1db at the peaks.
  17. Review video, correcting any mistakes.
  18. Export via h.264, 1920×1080, 23.976 frame rate, and 2 Pass VBR with an average bitrate of 8 Mbps.

IMPORTANT KEY POINTS!

  1. For Sponsored Videos – mention/show the sponsor before the 2 min time frame
  2. Make sure to give importance on the intro (and/or the 1st 2-3 min of the video)
    • Make it tight, brief, and concise

  4. If in doubt, ask questions.
