What Makes a Great Video Portfolio?

[@SarahSnows]

Wow. I am so honored to be featured 😭 thank you so much!

[@PremiereGal]

I love love love your site Sarah! So creative :-)

[@wokeaf1242]

I wanted to know, do you upload your work directly to your hosting, or do you use a video hosting site?

[@eahdude]

Needed to chime in here. I am a professional editor in the industry. The line about "not needing a reel" is inaccurate. It's usually the first thing a post house or client asks for. Not everyone is going to spend time to shift through all your videos on your site. The quickest glance they get is by watching a reel. I also need to reiterate that a reel doesn't just "show you know how to cut to music". It's an opportunity to demonstrate how you can weave the diversity of your content in one spot. It also helps illustrate sound design, how you incorporate sound ups etc. The comments about design are helpful (as I am not a designer). Anyone who watches this and thinks they don't need a "reel" that's blatantly incorrect.

Your level of editing, with effect is amazing

[@PremiereGal]

We just added Rikard Tholen to the team. He edited this video. Very talented indeed! He edits for RoomieOfficial also.

[@tjq4378]

Be careful of conflicts of interest with employers when it comes to public portfolios and reels. I know a youtuber who just got bit in the butt for that. Thanks for the upload Kelsey! I found your channel yesterday. Great stuff.

[@PremiereGal]

True, you definitely need to make sure you have permission to showcase certain work, you can always password protect some work and give that PW to people who are interested in your work :-)

[@pattyspeedmusic]

This was exactly what I needed. Thank You! Subbed

[@dignon38]

That Will Smith shot looks like the last thing Chris Rock saw before getting slapped. 🤣

[@rawrbrz]

[@pragmaticcreator]

Thanks greatly for this awesome and well-packaged video portfolio. You keep giving us the best to better our video editing dexterity. I hope to be good as you. All the best!

[@PremiereGal]

[@DigitaLabedition]

Great video, i love it 😍

[@UgoDraws]

must i create my portfolio on website? the reason I'm asking is i was asked to create a digital portfolio that is sharable and doesn't have a link

[@charliecodes_]

Hello, i love this video you've created. Please which video editing softwares did you use to create this.

[@TeonetsuShorts]

I am a total newbie to freelance video editing and have been editing my friends videos till ow so can I use it for free initially ?

[@meyyabaloch357]

i want to edit video but i don,t know how to start .can u give me some trick and trips please

[@PremiereGal]

I have a lot of tutorials on my channel! I also have a course website that organizes my tutorials from start to finish into a Premiere Pro course: learnpremiere.video

[@meyyabaloch357]

it is free or not.

[@thecluuchannel4705]

You're surgical with After Effects!

[@PremiereGal]

Ae is how editors become magicians!

[@JordanOrme]

My contact page 🚫🚫 🤣🤣

[@PremiereGal]

😮😂 I like the SFX when I said that it could be just a littttle bit more prominent 🤣

[@TheFabio1992Fabio]

Hello. what do you think of Behance as an online portfolio?

[@PremiereGal]

I do mention behance at the end as an option for those who don’t want to spend the time to design a site. But again, a well designed site will stand out in the crowd :)

[@kalistylz-1]

I love this video but how do you create a video portfolio if you work for a corporate company but don't have an outside video production business. I was made into a video editor from inside the company I work for coming from a Graphic Design background. So in order for me to use videos that I have created I would need to go into my companies video folder, which is proprietary to them, and create something. Would that put me in a bad position to using material that technically isn't mine, even though I made it? Thoughts.

[@peightonbarth9799]

any advice for someone just starting out? and I mean freshly graduated, who haven't had the chance to work with any companies just yet.

[@kakaproduction919]

Thank you so much

[@prodkalani]

anybody know how cachebunny made that website??

[@PremiereGal]

I think she used Wix, but not sure!

[@JacobGlover2023]

Is it okay to use a KZbin playlist as your portfolio?

[@PremiereGal]

Hmm, perhaps. But thinking from an Employer’s perspective, think it would be better to organize those videos into a website, embed them and categorize them by genre // detail your role etc.

[@felipeperaltalcine]

I thought that too, but the people I know who have a website are taken more “seriously” by many clients than having a youtube playlist, it transmits another vibe. That’s why I am making a site :)

[@mohamedkhera627]

So beautiful

[@jaysonrogue]

Please how do u record your reaction section? Do u use OBS or something?

[@PremiereGal]

I record with my camera, and I record my screen with capto. And we edit it together in Premiere Pro.

[@kpay10]

Can you use videos you made from youtube tutorials and online courses to be featured in your portfolio?

[@PremiereGal]

of course!

[@meyyabaloch357]

can u make news video sytle

[@moremaria4145]

Is it too complicated for viewers if I am a video editor, photographer, film developer (dark room, etc), and musician? If I want to only send out a password-protected page for employers who want to hire me for video editing, is that too much for them if they see all of that on one website and overcomplicated? AND does the website have to be my name or can it be my business name?

[@PremiereGal]

I think maybe you could organize your website to have menu and page for each category you specialize in, so 1 page for editing, 1 for photography and so on... it can be your business name as long as you have an about me page with your name and a little bit about you for personal touch!

[@PremiereGal]

Share with me other examples of great web portfolios! I'd love to take a look :) ⬇️

[@autentick_vfx]

hi

[@itsnobledean9450]

Can I just get a video that isn't biased from a sponsor? I just want an honest opinion, but everyone selling something. I would like to know free, and paid, but I gotta search the entire web, because she wanna sell us, instead of inform us.
