Any creator who’s spent time on video production for YouTube knows it can be time-intensive! The specialists in production at grouphugs can save you time in countless ways, from handling the technicalities of video editing to developing hyper-efficient workflows that help you generate new content in record time.
This matters because the quicker you can publish fresh videos, all of which are compliant with the best practices for YouTube video production, the faster you’ll be able to scale, and the more followers who’ll stay tuned to be the first to watch your latest.
We’ve put together some insights into which aspects of video production take the longest, why it’s never as simple as shooting footage and pressing publish, and how grouphugs can give you back the time you need to concentrate on real growth.
Why Does YouTube Video Production Take So Long?
New creators and brands on YouTube often underestimate the time they’ll need to invest, especially if they’re aiming to reach a level where they can earn reasonable revenues by monetizing their content.
Although a lot can depend on the types of content you create, the table below shares the average time required for each stage, while noting this considers everything from initial editing onward, without the earlier steps of concept design and brainstorming.
As you can see, production isn’t simply recording a video and publishing it, but involves a series of processes to ensure your content is professional and searchable, and something viewers will want to watch.

We’ve summarized some of the most in-demand aspects of our production skills to give you an idea about what that could involve!
Video Post-Production
Producers can deal with the time-heavy tasks of editing your raw footage, such as:
- Cutting and splicing frames
- Adding animations and effects
- Adding graphics and b-roll
- Creating seamless transitions
- Correcting color and glare
- Sound design
The grouphugs team can also take over thumbnail creation, title creation, YouTube video uploads, and A/B testing, ensuring you have all the capacity you need to think about ongoing content development and new filming.
Managing Your YouTube Strategy
The biggest and best YouTube channels don’t do anything by chance, and they spend more time making thumbnails, titles, dialing in the content angle, and planning their upcoming content than they do in front of the camera.
Having a defined strategy, calendars, and pre-scheduling new video releases is a great way to ensure you’re sharing consistent videos, while grouphugs can help out with audience reaction tracking and reporting, so you know precisely how and where you’re having the best impact.
