People often ask what they actually get when they hire an editor. So let me lay out the usual adult video editor deliverables, based on years of studio work across the FakeHub network and three years editing for British performer Rebecca More.

The core adult video editor deliverables

Every job starts with a brief. However, most packages contain the same building blocks:

• Full master. The complete, graded and mixed scene, exported at the agreed resolution.
• Trailer. A short, punchy promo that sells the scene without giving everything away.
• Vertical clips. 9:16 cuts reframed for social and creator platforms.
• Platform-safe versions. Edits trimmed to suit each site’s rules on content and length.
• Stills and thumbnails. Frame grabs and designed thumbnails built for click-through rate.

Why each version matters

A master is the archive copy, so quality comes first. A trailer, by contrast, is a sales tool. It needs a hook in the opening seconds and a clear ending. Vertical clips are different again, because reframing a wide shot means tracking the action rather than just cropping the centre.

Platform-safe cuts are where experience pays off. Each site has its own rules, and those rules change. Therefore, I keep notes per platform and check them before export instead of relying on memory.

How the handover works

Studios usually send raw footage by large file transfer. Then we agree on length, style and naming. Finally, files come back in clearly labelled folders, so nobody has to hunt for the right version.

On the FakeHub side, a large part of the role is cutting tube versions for sites such as Pornhub. For creators, the same structure works for OnlyFans, ManyVids and Fansly. I will not share client-specific details, of course; the workflow itself is the useful part.

Getting the most from your editor

Clear notes save time. For example, list which versions you need, the aspect ratios, and any moments that must stay in. Also mention the platforms early, because that shapes every cut.
