Frequently asked questions
What is special about our video editing service?
It is the bundling of different video editing areas such as visual and acoustic editing. The creation of 3D animations and the improvement of accessibility for your audiovisual content through subtitling, translation and transcription. Our service is primarily aimed at the needs of digital nomads and freelancers.
Does my raw material have to be in a certain video or picturesize format?
No matter what video format your source material has, whether .mov, .mp4, .ogg, .avi, etc. We are able to convert every video format. When it comes to image size formats (aspect ratio), it can be difficult to convert a video recorded with e.g smartphone format of 9:16 into a 16:9, 21:9 or 4:3 image format without having to accept significant image distortion. We will let you know during the video editing process if converting the aspect ratio format may lead to unsuitable results.
However, a reverse conversion to 9:16 is easily possible if the edges of a widescreen video can be omitted.
How do I submit my raw material so you can edit it?
We have set up a cloud storage for you at Nextcloud and we will send you a personal upload link by email when the order is completed.
If you have any problems with the upload, it is also possible for you to send us a download link to your saved raw videos in your cloud storage via email and we will then download the videos from there.

What about copyright-protected content in my videos?
If you would like us to include copyright-protected content in your video, whether as audio or video, or if your video already consists in parts of copyright-protected content, you can only use the edited video for private purposes. You may neither publish this video nor use it for any commercial purposes. Apart from that, there are cc licenses that allow this partly, at least if the origin of the material is clearly stated in the edited footage.
What about the GDPR?
See our privacy policy linked here. Since nomadicfilmworks is a registered business in Germany we are bound to the requirements of the GDPR (german designation: DSGVO) in our work, during and after your contact with our company.
This means that we are obliged to treat the personal data required by you for the video editing order and transmitted to our website nomadicfilmworks.com in an appropriately careful manner (in accordance with the GDPR) in order to be able to guarantee that your data is safe from unauthorized access at all times during and after our contact.
Can you also obscure sensitive content (people, objects, etc.)?
Yes, generally no problem. Works particularly well if the video already has a good visual quality with contours that can be clearly distinguished by the Video editing program.
Can you also remove background noise?
In most cases it is possible to significantly improve the audio and filter out noise such as wind or traffic. The more clearly the audio signal of the unwanted noise differs from the desired noise, the better the results will be after filtering. If we can’t filter them out completely, then at least convert them into noises that are perceived as less disturbing.
How does payment/invoicing work?
Via our Payment provider Digistore we offer several payment options (at the moment: SEPA bank transfer, credit card and Paypal), choose the one that suits you in the order form.
Depending on your editing needs and requirements, we offer different video editing formats: Basic Video Editing, Extended Video Editing and Premium Video Editing, which you can select by clicking the corresponding blue button on our price list page. After clicking the button, you will be redirected to the order form of our payment provider Digistore.
Fill out the order form and click the “Buy Now and Proceed to Payment” button to complete the order. Digistore will then send us an email about your order. We will send you your personal upload link to the Nomadic filmworks cloud storage on the same day to the email address you entered in the order form so that you can send your raw files to us for editing. Once this is complete, we begin with the editing process.
Please also let us know by email how you would like the finished video to be.
How long does it take you to make a half hour video?
Difficult to say, as it always depends on the raw material and the desired result as to how long the video editing actually takes. A typical guideline is around 4 days for regular editing work.
On the other hand, we guarantee a maximum editing time of 48 hours for a finished 5-minute video in the basic edition, provided you have no further editing requests after the contract between you and Nomadic filmworks has been concluded.
Can you also record a film etc. for me on site and then edit it?
Unfortunately we can’t give a general statement about this because it depends on the distance between us and the available time.
Apart from that, if you would like us to record a film for you on site and edit it then contact us either using the contact form below or directly via our email address: caluga(at)nomadicfilmworks.com
In addition to pure video editing, do you also offer other video services e.g. Separate speech recognition and conversion to text via translations, transcriptions, subtitling?
Yes, beside to pure visual video editing, we offer separate speech recognition and audio editing of your videos as well, e.g transcriptions, translations or subtitling of your video manual and via the help of other tools.
Are there videos that you don't edit?
Unfortunately, some raw videos cannot be edited because the video quality is inadequate, e.g. because the image is too dark, very blurry, too shaky or the colors are washed out. If this is the case with one of your videos despite the editing order is already concluded, we will inform you about this and will not charge you any editing costs, this includes that we will recharge any funds you already paid through the same payment method.
In which languages can I contact you?
If you want to write us a message you can choose every language a translator is able to translate. If you want to call us personally than our spoken languages are german, english and greek.
