A professional video production package should include more than just a final file. Expect final edits, multiple aspect ratios, social cutdowns, captions, and even raw footage, assets that help your video work across platforms and campaigns.
Here’s what you should always look for:
- Final edits in agreed runtimes and aspect ratios
- At least two rounds of revisions
- File formats for both sharing (H.264) and archiving (ProRes)
- Delivery methods that match your workflow
- Optional add-ons like social cutdowns, captions, and raw footage
At Jungle Films, we take this even further. We design deliverables as campaign toolkits, purpose-driven, audience-ready, and built to last well beyond launch day. Every file serves a strategy, not just a checklist.
Keep reading to learn what a complete deliverables package should include, and how to make sure your next video investment works harder for you.
What’s Included in a Modern Video Production Deliverables Package
Deliverables are more than a handoff. They’re your campaign toolkit. Done right, they equip your team with everything needed to drive awareness, engagement, and conversions across every platform.
But not every vendor thinks that far ahead, and that’s where confusion and frustration begin. Here’s what you should expect from a strategic production partner.
Final Deliverables
You should always expect:
- Edited videos in agreed runtimes – e.g., 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 2 minutes
- Correct aspect ratios for each platform:
- 16:9 for YouTube or widescreen
- 1:1 for Instagram feed
- 9:16 for TikTok or Instagram Reels
By confirming these deliverables before production, you’ll ensure your video looks great wherever it lives.
Revisions
Revisions are a normal part of the process. Most high-quality vendors include at least two rounds, but it’s essential to clarify this upfront. Don’t assume “final cut” means perfect; it means approved. A good partner builds in collaboration to reduce surprises and post-production tension.
File Formats
You should expect at least two file types:
- H.264 – best for easy sharing and uploading
- ProRes – higher quality, ideal for archiving or future edits
If your internal team handles any media, make sure you receive both.
Delivery Methods
Your delivery method should match your internal workflow. Standard options include:
- Google Drive
- Frame.io
- Dropbox
- Physical drives (for very large files)
A good partner won’t just send you a download link; they’ll walk you through the structure of what’s included and explain why it matters.
Smart Add-Ons for Multichannel Campaigns
This is where a great production day really earns its keep. Campaigns today are multichannel by default, so your deliverables should reflect that:
- Social cutdowns: 60-, 30-, 15-, even 5-second versions
- Platform-specific exports: vertical, square, horizontal
- Thumbnail stills and high-res frame grabs for emails, cover images, and press kits
- Lower thirds, intros/outros, and branded end cards for polished, reusable content
These assets aren’t just “extras”; they’re leverage. They let you stretch a single video shoot across social, email, events, and internal comms for months.
Accessibility & Archive Assets
Let’s talk about what most clients forget to ask for until it’s too late:
- Subtitles and captions: Do you want them burned into the video or provided separately as an SRT file for social? You’ll likely need both.
- Raw footage: Yes, you can (and should) ask for it. But be specific. Some vendors guard raw files tightly or charge extra. With Jungle Films, we always clarify ownership and future use upfront because we want your story to grow with you, not get locked away on a drive.
- Archival formats: If you’re investing in video, archive the ProRes versions. You may want to re-edit, localize, or repackage it in the future.
Many clients assume they’re getting everything they need until they realize they’re missing the SRT file, the vertical version, or access to raw footage. Don’t wait until post-production to ask. Make these part of your scope from day one.
The Jungle Films Difference: Strategy-Packed, Audience-Ready Deliverables
Jungle Films doesn’t see our videos as a deliverable. We see it as a launchpad.
Our clients don’t walk away with just a final file. They walk away with a full suite of platform-ready content, built with their audience in mind, tailored to their campaign goals, and designed for long-term relevance. Every asset is intentional: from a 90-second story-driven cut to 15-second reels, vertical teaser trailers, and SRT caption files that keep content accessible and compliant.
But it’s not just about formats. It’s about function. How will this video show up in your donor emails? What version works for your internal town hall next quarter? Which part can be reused in a future enrollment campaign? We ask these questions early so your video answers them later.
This is the Jungle Films difference:
- Strategy baked into every phase of production
- Deliverables that don’t just “look nice,” but move people
- A process that supports clarity, not confusion
- Long-term value, not one-time use
Because when you’re telling stories that matter, you deserve more than a deliverable. You deserve a team that treats your mission like its own.
Ready for More Than Just a Video?
If you’re looking for a partner who thinks beyond the final file, who helps you build content that’s strategic, scalable, and truly aligned with your mission, you’re in the right place.
At Jungle Films, we don’t just check boxes. We craft deliverables that carry your message further, spark action, and stay useful long after launch day. Whether you’re launching a campaign, reaching donors, or uniting your team, we make sure every asset works harder for you.

FAQ
What deliverables should I expect from a professional video partner?
At minimum: final edited videos in agreed lengths and aspect ratios, caption files (or burned-in subtitles), and clearly labeled file formats. A strong partner will also include social cutdowns, thumbnails, and guidance on how to use each asset.
Do I need different versions of my video for social media platforms?
Yes, each platform has different format, runtime, and orientation standards. A 16:9 video may work for YouTube but won’t perform well on TikTok or Instagram Stories. Smart deliverables are tailored to each use case.
How many rounds of revisions are standard?
Most partners include two rounds, but always confirm this up front. Clear revision cycles prevent confusion, help manage stakeholder feedback, and keep timelines on track.
Will I get access to the raw footage?
If that’s important to you, ask for it in the scope. Some vendors charge extra or restrict access. Jungle Films clarifies usage and ownership early so clients can confidently reuse footage down the line.
What format will my final video be in?
Typically, you’ll receive H.264 (great for web and sharing) and ProRes (ideal for archiving and future edits). The right format ensures both usability and longevity.
Are subtitles or captions included?
They should be. Depending on your needs, you might get SRT files, burned-in captions, or both. Always confirm delivery preferences for accessibility and compliance.
