Give the editor three things

  1. 01

    The source

    Footage, script, slides and must-use timestamps.

  2. 02

    The direction

    Length, tone, format and what must stay.

  3. 03

    The confirmation

    Wait for “Edit request sent,” then check the saved brief.

A desired delivery date belongs in the brief. A time-critical deadline still needs confirmation.

Before you start

Use the intended media in Media Studio with edit-request access. Wait for uploads to finish. Gather an approved script, current logo, reference video and any required slides. Decide who will approve the cut.

Steps

  1. Open the media in Media Studio. From Create with chat, choose Request a video edit when offered. If you are already in the chat, Use Edit Request Form opens the structured brief.

  2. Enter a descriptive Working Title, such as “Pump maintenance: three checks before restart.” Select the correct Brand book and Video Type. Review Orientation and Publishing Destination before choosing Video Length.

  3. Choose Tone. Put more precise pacing instructions in Additional notes & files: for example, “Calm technical explanation; keep complete sentences; use brief pauses between checks.” A length choice alone does not describe pacing.

  4. Complete Craft your Clip. In Open, describe the hook. In Moments, identify the source timestamps and must-use demonstrations. In Close, give the final takeaway and call to action. Example: “Open on the loose seal at 00:12. Keep the explanation at 01:05–01:34. Close with the three-check graphic.”

  5. Add a Reference link when helpful and explain what to copy from it: pace, framing, graphics or music. State what must differ. An example video is not permission to reuse its footage or music.

  6. Expand More options → Additional notes & files. Use Attach files for the script, slides and graphics, then verify the attachments appear. Specify exact spellings, required disclaimers, material that must remain and moments that must be removed. Include the desired delivery date and timezone; request confirmation for a time-critical deadline.

  7. Review the populated fields and files. Choose Let’s Create and wait for Edit request sent. When amending an existing editable brief, Save changes updates that request and the confirmation is Editing direction updated.

Worked example

A brief you can adapt

Replace the sample details and brackets with your own information. This does not submit anything to Studio.

Check the result

The request should show the intended direction and supporting files. Save changes and a new submission are different actions. Reopen the brief to check that required text and attachments persisted.

If something does not work

  • A required field is highlighted: complete it with specific direction rather than filler. Read any minimum-length guidance shown.

  • An attachment or reference cannot be opened: supply the original file or a working permitted link and verify it. Do not assume a filename proves delivery.

  • The delivered cut ignores a supplied script or asset: record the exact discrepancy on the latest cut and submit a revision. Include the brief/file reference when contacting your MarketScale lead; better wording does not excuse missed instructions.

  • A deadline is critical: confirm feasibility with your MarketScale contact. Entering a date does not reserve delivery capacity.
