Video editor portfolio website with your reel

The reel at the top, a page for every edit below

An editor is judged on thirty seconds of reel, then on the detail: which film, for which production company, what role exactly — edit, grade, graphics. A Vimeo link sent by email says none of that.

Your home page opens on a film, and every edit has its page: the player rebuilt from the YouTube or Vimeo link, the title, the production company or agency, your role, the year, the description. Google reads the text and the structured data of each page; the visitor reads your credits.

Traxo plays your films from their YouTube or Vimeo link: it doesn't host the files, so your video host's plan, and what it costs you, stay your own business. If you move a film from one host to the other, you change the link on its page.

• A credit line under every film: role, production company, year
• A YouTube or Vimeo link is enough, nothing to upload
• Three service pages: advertising, social media, music videos

The request that arrives while you deliver the last project

The project lands while you are on a deadline: “we've got forty clips of footage, we need three formats for Monday”. A call missed at 6pm is one more editor contacted at 6.05pm.

On every edit page, the call-back button takes the visitor's phone number and, if they like, their email address. The request lands in your pro area, in the list of requests to handle; if they left an email address, the client gets a message confirming that you will call them back. You ring back at the time you choose.

The deposit at the order, cash flow that no longer waits for delivery

Editing gets paid after delivery, sometimes long after: a freelancer's invoice goes behind the suppliers'. A deposit when the job is ordered changes the order.

The services you sell at a fixed price — a set of formats, a colour grade — are booked and paid online, the deposit or the whole amount, at 3% per payment; the rest go through the call-back and the quote. Every client has their record, with their bookings and their payments.

• Deposit or full service, paid when the job is ordered
• 3% per payment, nothing else
• A record for every client, with their bookings and payments

Agencies that come back, and reviews that say so

An agency that liked one edit orders ten. That's the client to keep, and the one who recommends you.

On the Pro plan, the review request goes out by email two hours after the service, your Google reviews come back into Traxo, and a loyalty points programme rewards the clients who come back. Your Google listing is kept up to date from your pro area.
