How to Check the Status of Your Edit Order

Track your video edit instantly: see who's editing, stage updates, and completion ETA—no more guessing, just fast, simple clarity.

Updated yesterday

Not knowing where your video edit stands can slow you down. Luckily, with Video Status in Studio, you get instant visibility so you’re never left guessing.

Find the “Video Status” tab on your dashboard.

Once you’re inside Studio, look for the “Video Status” section in the main navigation. It’s right where you’d expect: front and center, no hunting required.


Spot your edit order at a glance.

Videos are grouped into simple stages: Needs Info, Ready to Edit, In Editing, Quality Control, Edited, Completed. You’ll see who’s editing, how long it’s been in that stage, and any notes—no need to ping anyone.


Drill down for extra details.

Click on your video’s name to open its status pane. Check submission date, editor assigned, and projected completion time. It’s all there in one screen—no back-and-forth emails or Slack messages.


Plan your next move—fast.

Use real-time status to coordinate publishing schedules, client reviews, or promotional plans. If your video’s in Quality Control, you know when to prep your social assets. When it’s marked “Edited,” you can wrap up your copy, thumbnails, or metadata right away.


Enjoy fewer interruptions.

Skip the “Hey, where’s my edit?” messages. Everyone on your team—creators, coordinators, clients—sees the same up-to-date info. It’s a no-frills way to stay in sync and keep things moving.

  • Smarter, Faster Planning: Know exactly when your edit will land, so you can launch campaigns or schedule reviews.

  • Built-In Accountability: Editors and producers update status in real time—no surprises.

Start using Video Status today to track your edit order like you’d track dinner delivery. It’s simple, fast, and gives you the peace of mind to focus on what really matters: creating great content.


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How often does Video Status update?
A: Status updates are instant—no delays. As soon as an editor moves your video to the next stage, you’ll see it in Studio.

Q: What if I don’t see my video in the list?
A: First, make sure the video has been submitted for editing. If it’s submitted but not showing up, refresh the page or check back in a few minutes—sometimes it takes a moment to appear.

Q: Who on my team can view the status?
A: Anyone with Studio access sees the same status screen. Creators, coordinators, and clients get one simple view—but you can only see content in the status queue if you have permission to see it.

Q: Will I get notifications when my video moves stages?
A: Video Status itself doesn’t send alerts. Instead, just pop into Studio for fast, clear updates—no extra pings needed. But the order requester always gets an email when the video is edited.

Q: Can I leave notes or comments on the status page?
A: No - if you need to share notes, make comments in the Media Studio for that video order. Status is all about simple, at-a-glance tracking.

Q: Does this replace email and chat messages?
A: Yes—no more “Where’s my edit?” messages. With Video Status in Studio, everyone can check progress without interrupting editors.

Q: What do the stage names mean?
A:

  • Ready to Edit: Video is queued and waiting for an editor.

  • In Editing: Editor is actively working.

  • Quality Control: Video is in review for final tweaks.

  • Edited: Post-QC, ready for approval or distribution.

  • Completed: Video is fully done and available for download or publishing.

Q: Who do I contact if I spot an error in the status?
A: If the status doesn’t match what you see in Studio, start a live chat or email [email protected]. But most of the time, Video Status is fast and accurate—no frantic chasing needed.
