To make sure every stakeholder feels their input is valued during video revisions, set up a clear feedback process. Use a shared document or tool where everyone can leave comments and suggestions. Encourage specific feedback and let them know what’s a priority. Acknowledge each idea, even if you can’t use it all, and explain your choices. Keep everyone updated on the revision progress so they feel involved. This open approach helps each person feel respected and shows that all input is considered, making the final video a true team effort.

Make sure every stakeholder feels their feedback is valued during video revisions? It's funny in a way to even think that everyone's feedback can even be incorporated that too in the final stages. In my experience and opinion, it should be left to the director (and the editor), assuming you've hired experts to do the job. Why not let them do it? While feedback is important from the brand/client/producer but "ensuring their input is valued" wasn't the job from the beginning, was it? Imagine if a ship owner/client comes up to the captain with inputs or directions. Imagine if the captain is asked to ensure every stakeholder's input is valued. Where would that lead the ship?

By the time you're in the final stages of video editing, if your stakeholder doesn't feel like their input is valued... then it's already too late. If you've followed a clear plan and strategy with set guidelines, then the stakeholder will have already had a pivotal role in the planning of the video and heavily involved in giving feedback through the post-production process. When it gets to the final stages, it's critical that you show the stakeholder appreciation for their input into final product and celebrate the collaborative effort! It's also a good idea after project completion, to ask stakeholders about their experience to improve future collaboration.

Keep it simple: set a clear feedback process upfront so everyone knows how their input fits in. Use a shared platform for transparency—when stakeholders see each other’s comments, it cuts down on overlap. Finally, prioritize feedback that aligns with the project’s goals—value all voices, but let the vision guide the edits!
