A useful event videography package is built around where the footage will be used. Most brands need a 60–90 second recap, three to six vertical clips, clean speaker soundbites, captioned versions and an organized archive—not simply a folder of raw footage.
A practical guide to event video deliverables, from a main recap and vertical clips to full-session recordings, captions and clean footage for future campaigns.
- Choose deliverables by channel before deciding how many cameras to hire.
- Request horizontal and vertical edits when the campaign will run across web and social.
- Full-session recordings need dedicated cameras and audio, separate from recap coverage.
- Put quantities, durations, aspect ratios and deadlines into the quote.
The core deliverables to request
- A 60–90 second main recap for the website, sponsors and sales decks.
- Three to six 15–30 second vertical edits for Reels, Shorts and LinkedIn.
- Selected speaker or attendee soundbites with clean audio and captions.
- Full keynote or panel recordings when the sessions have lasting educational value.
- An organized library of approved B-roll for future campaigns.
Why one edit is rarely enough
A recap is designed to communicate energy quickly. A keynote recording preserves information. A vertical clip earns attention in a feed. Asking one file to perform all three jobs usually produces a compromise, so define a small family of edits instead.
What to specify in the agreement
List the exact number of videos, target duration, orientation, caption format, revision rounds and delivery date. Also identify who supplies music approval, speaker names and brand files. Clear deliverables make production quotes comparable and prevent surprise editing costs.
Do you need raw footage?
Raw footage is useful when an internal team will create future edits, but it is large, ungraded and not ready to publish. Ask instead for a curated B-roll library if you want flexible assets without taking on the full post-production workflow.
Frequently asked questions
How many videos should one event produce?
A focused one-day event often supports one main recap and three to six short vertical edits. Conferences may also justify separate keynote, panel and interview files.
Are captions normally included?
They should be requested explicitly. Ask for burned-in social captions and separate caption files for accessible website or platform playback.
Can an event video team deliver raw footage?
Yes, when it is included in the scope. Confirm the transfer method, storage period and whether the footage is organized or provided directly from camera cards.
