Not sure what to order from your raw footage? This guide breaks down exactly what to order based on the type of Sweep you had, with pricing and reasoning for every asset.
What you should order depends entirely on the type of raw footage you have. A Sweep from a live event calls for different assets than a Brand Story session, a podcast recording, or a speaker engagement. There's no single right answer, but there is a right answer for your specific footage, and this guide walks through all of them.
If you already know what kind of Sweep you had, jump to that section below. If you're still deciding whether to book a Sweep at all, skip to What if I don't have footage yet?
Find your footage type, then order this first:
An event (as a speaker) → Speaker Reel (Signature Highlight Video) · 30 credits / $1,200
The single asset most likely to book your next stage appearance. Publish to social after your event to capitalize on the buzz from your audience and maximize growth.
An event (as a panelist) → Speaker Spotlight Video · 12 credits / $480
Puts the spotlight on you specifically, not the whole panel. Leverage it for booking future panel opportunities, post to social for audience engagement, and include it in a blog to establish thought leader authority.
An event (as a moderator) → Speaker Event Recap Sizzle Video · 12 credits / $480
Proves the room you kept running, not just your presence in it. Book your next gig using this asset again and again.
A brand story or interview session → Brand Story Video · 17 credits / $680
Establish your why in one cinematic piece you'll reuse for years. Post it to social media, put it on your website, and send it to prospective clients.
A podcast recording → Podcast (full-length video) · 24 credits / $960
Turns audio-first content into a watchable, shareable asset that establishes you as an authority in your industry.
Social media or lifestyle content → Social Media Reel · 6 credits / $240
The one asset every Sweep should produce first. It's fast and gets attention on your brand for a specific reason.
Educational or training footage → Educational Courses · 24 credits / $960
Packages instructional content for online learning platforms. A backbone of business operations: scalable and evergreen.
Old footage sitting unused → Client Testimonial Video or Audience Reactions/Testimonial Mashup Video · 10 credits / $400 each
Proof content ages well and works just as hard months later.
Event footage produces more usable content than almost any other Sweep type, but what you order depends on your actual role at the event.
If you gave the keynote or a solo talk: Order a Speaker Reel (Signature Highlight Video) (30 credits / $1,200). This is the asset event organizers and booking committees actually watch before deciding on their next speaker. Add a Keynote Social Soundbites Video (6 credits / $240) for a fast, easy win you can post the same week and keep the excitement rolling.
If you were on a panel: Order a Speaker Spotlight Video (12 credits / $480). Panelists are the most commonly overlooked speaker type in event footage, since wide shots and group framing dilute individual presence. This asset isolates your expertise in sixty seconds. Pair it with an Audience Reactions/Testimonial Mashup Video (10 credits / $400) for proof the room was engaged. Get booked on more stages by leveraging this asset again and again.
If you moderated: Order a Speaker Event Recap Sizzle Video (12 credits / $480) to capture the energy of the room you kept on track and book another gig. If moderating is a recurring part of your work, a Web TV Show (24 credits / $960) turns that skill into an owned format instead of a one-off credit. It's something you can teach others, and it turns a one-time event into an evergreen revenue source.
For any event Sweep, regardless of role: A Post Event Recap Video (12 credits / $480) and a Pre Event Promo Video (6 credits / $240) both extend the shelf life of a single Sweep: one closes the loop on the event you just had, and one builds anticipation for the next.
Brand Story Sweeps typically include interviews, b-roll of your business, and behind-the-scenes footage. Start with the Brand Story Video (17 credits / $680), a cinematic piece built around your journey, purpose, and why. This is the asset most businesses reuse across their website, pitch decks, and paid campaigns for years after it's produced.
Pair it with a Website Header Video (3 credits / $120) if your homepage hasn't been updated recently, and a Client Testimonial Video (10 credits / $400) if your Sweep filmed any customer interviews alongside your own.
If your Sweep filmed a podcast recording, order the full-length Podcast video (24 credits / $960) first. This turns audio-first content into something viewable and shareable on platforms where video performs better than audio alone.
A YouTube Intro/Outro Video (12 credits / $480) is worth adding once you have more than one episode, since it only needs to be produced once and can be reused across every upload. Don't forget to add a few Social Media Reels (6 credits / $240) to create social promos, ad material, and emails for when you are ready to launch your podcast.
This is usually the easiest decision on the list. Order 10x Social Media REELS (6 credits / $240) to get a full batch of ready-to-post content from one Sweep, or a single Social Media Reel (6 credits / $240) if you just need one strong piece rather than a full batch. You control what each asset turns into.
If your Sweep filmed a workshop, seminar, or instructional session, order Educational Courses (24 credits / $960) to package it for an online learning platform. A Web TV Show (24 credits / $960) is the better fit if the content is closer to an ongoing series than a self-contained course.
With a Studio PRO account, raw footage doesn't expire! If you swept months or even years ago and haven't ordered anything yet, the footage is still just as usable today.
Two assets specifically make old footage feel current rather than dated: a Client Testimonial Video (10 credits / $400) or an Audience Reactions/Testimonial Mashup Video (10 credits / $400). Both rely on genuine reactions and trust, which don't lose relevance the way a timely announcement or promo does. If you've swept more than once, a career-spanning Speaker Reel (30 credits / $1,200) built from footage across multiple events is often stronger than any single event's highlight clip.
If you're weighing whether to book a Sweep in the first place, the short version is: book the Sweep that matches the content you actually need, not the one that sounds most impressive.
A Social Media/Lifestyle Filming Session (22 credits / $880) is the lowest-commitment entry point if you're not sure yet what you'll need long-term. An Event Filming Session (65 credits / $2,600) or Brand Story Filming Session (65 credits / $2,600) makes sense when you already know the specific footage you're after.

Start with what type of Sweep you had. Event footage, Brand Story footage, podcast recordings, and social content all point toward different assets. The Quick Answer Guide above matches each footage type to a recommended first order.
Footage access windows vary by service, typically 30 days for filming and editing, and 60 days for event coverage. A Studio PRO subscription keeps every clip in your library indefinitely. Older footage can still produce current, relevant assets, particularly testimonial and proof-based content, even years later.
A Website Header Video (3 credits / $120) is the lowest-cost entry point on the menu. A Social Media Reel (6 credits / $240) is the next step up and the asset most Sweeps should produce first.
Yes. All Sweeps produce enough usable footage for multiple assets. The Quick Answer Guide above lists a recommended first order for each footage type, but it's common to order several assets from a single Sweep over time. We encourage you to get creative with your ideas and leverage the menu in a way that fits your specific needs, goals, and vision!
Reach out and describe what was filmed. The right order depends on the footage itself more than any category label.
Every Sweep produces more usable content than most customers expect. The goal isn't to order everything on the menu at once. It's to order the one or two assets that match what you actually filmed, then come back for more once you see what it does.
