Cut Your Event Video Costs With Remote Editing

Our editors don't need to be at your event to deliver same-day content. Our crew captures it on-site, and footage moves to our St. Louis edit team in real time through a secure cloud workflow. It works for events anywhere in the country, or anywhere in the world with a solid connection. You get the same fast turnarounds without paying to fly an edit team in.

Our Remote Editing Workflow

Remote editing only works if the footage moves fast and nothing gets lost. Here's a breakdown on exactly how we make that happen at a live event.

01. Capture

Our crew films your event like any other shoot. Same cameras, same team, same quality.

02. Transfer

An on-site DIT sends full 4K footage to our private St. Louis server in real time, with a cloud backup on top.

03. Edit

Our editors start cutting within minutes from fully equipped edit bays, away from the chaos of the show floor.

04. Deliver

Same-day content goes out while your event is still running, ready to post, play, or share.

The Challenge

A three-day summit in San Francisco needed 85 deliverables, including a same-day recap. Normally, that means flying editors into one of the most expensive cities in the country.

The Solution

We kept our editors home. Our on-site DIT sent full 4K footage to our St. Louis server in real time, and three editors cut everything from 2,000 miles away.

The Result

The first cut of the recap landed the moment day two wrapped. All 85 deliverables were done in 72 hours, and roughly $13,000 in travel stayed in the client's budget.

Remote Editing for International Events

International events come with extra paperwork, extra gear checks, and extra costs. Remote editing cuts all three. Our production crew travels to you, and our edit team stays in St. Louis.

ATA Carnets Handled

We document and activate every piece of gear before we fly, so customs is a checkpoint, not a roadblock.

Visas and Paperwork Ready

We sort out what your content requires ahead of time, from client approval letters to document packets for every crew member.

Smaller Crew Abroad

With editors working remotely, fewer people need travel documents and less gear crosses the border.

Remote Editing FAQs

Do I need an editor on-site to get same-day edits?

+
No. Our crew and an on-site DIT handle the shoot and the footage transfer. Our editors cut everything from St. Louis, so you get same-day content without flying an edit team in.

What do you need from the venue?

+
A solid internet connection. We'll talk through the venue's setup before the event and plan around it, so there are no surprises on show day.

Does remote editing work outside the US?

+
Yes. The workflow runs the same way for events across the country or around the world, anywhere with a solid connection.

Is the quality the same as having an editor on-site?

+
Yes. Our editors work from full-resolution 4K files, not proxies. They also get their own workstations and a quiet space away from the chaos of a live event.

Is my footage secure?

+
Footage goes straight to our private server in St. Louis, with a cloud backup on top. Nothing lives on a single drive.

How much can remote editing save?

+
It depends on the event and the city. Travel is a pass-through cost for us, so every dollar saved goes back to you. On a recent San Francisco event, that came out to roughly $13,000.
