Using royalty free b-roll to create a net new video

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

This client wanted to have these 4 videos looped with his custom music which would be about 3 hours long. I didn’t think it was a big deal so I think I charged like $10. Then I realized the high-resolution videos he needed to be looped created a 21 GB file! Not only did the file take forever to render, but I had to get it over to him and his internet was spotty at best. He ended up assigning me as a YouTube Manager for his account and I just uploaded it directly… Live and learn 🙂

After thinking through the process, I found a much faster way to create these in the future!
Live and win!
