How it went

He teaches. We make it watchable.

01 · The brief

Teaching videos, cut for the viewer.

Derek records long talking-head lessons on winning US government contracts. Each one needs tight pacing, clear on-screen text and a cut that keeps a first-time contractor watching.

His part is the lesson. Ours is everything after the recording.

02 · The batch

Seven lessons, one series look.

Every lesson was reviewed in Frame.io, round by round, until Derek approved it.

Every video is also on this page, so you can judge the cut for yourself.

What every video gets

Built for teaching channels.

Cut for pace

Long talking-head lessons trimmed so each one keeps moving from the first minute to the last.

On-screen text

Key terms and steps set on screen so a lesson can be followed with the sound off.

Sound and music

Dialogue levelled and music placed so the voice stays clear throughout.

Thumbnails with the cuts

Derek's Frame.io project is organised as a package of videos with matching thumbnails.

One series look

A consistent style from one lesson to the next, so the channel feels like one series.

Review in Frame.io

Notes are left on the frame and tracked round by round until Derek approves.
