Large Video Delivery Workflow for Agencies (Client Handoff)
Large Video Delivery Workflow for Agencies (Client Handoff)
Delivering final video projects should be simple: render, upload, send link. But in reality, it's messy.
Clients can't open ZIP files. Revision requests come in via email. You have no idea if they actually downloaded the final cut. Sound familiar?
This guide provides a repeatable workflow for video agencies to deliver projects professionally, track downloads, and collect client assets—without the chaos.
Common Agency Pain Points
1. Revisions Chaos
You send "Final_V3.mp4". Client sends feedback. You upload "Final_V3_REVISED.mp4". Client asks, "Which one is the latest?"
2. Missing Assets
Client needs to send you raw footage. They try email (fails). They ask, "Can you send me a Dropbox link?" You don't have shared storage.
3. Delivery Confirmation
Did the client download the file? Did they watch it? You have no idea. You follow up via email. No response. More emails.
Step 1: Packaging Tips
Folder Structure
Use a clear hierarchy:
ProjectName_ClientName_Final/ ├── 01_Final_Deliverables/ │ ├── ProjectName_Final_4K.mp4 │ └── ProjectName_Final_1080p.mp4 ├── 02_Source_Files/ │ ├── project_file.prproj │ └── audio_stems/ └── README.txt
File Naming Convention
Be descriptive and version clearly:
- ClientName_ProjectName_Final_4K_v1.0.mp4 ✅
- final_FINAL_USE_THIS.mp4 ❌
Include a README
README.txt should contain:
- Project title and date
- File formats and resolutions
- Playback recommendations
- Contact info for questions
- Next steps
Step 2: Delivery
Send Transfer Link or Email
Option A: Email Delivery - Enter the client's email. They receive a secure download link directly in their inbox.
Option B: Shareable Link - Generate a link and include it in your project handoff email.
Recommended Approach
Use email delivery with download tracking. This way, you know exactly when the client accessed the file.
Step 3: Request Assets via Voucher
If you need the client to send files back (e.g., logos, raw footage, approval documents):
- Create a voucher (file request link)
- Set parameters: Max file size, expiry, custom message
- Send the voucher link to the client
- Receive files automatically—no file-sharing account needed on their end
Step 4: Tracking Downloads as Proof of Delivery
With TeraSender's download tracking, you can:
- See exactly when the client downloaded the file
- Get notified via email
- Use download confirmation as proof of delivery for billing/contracts
No more guessing. No more "Did you get the file?" emails.
