What exactly is included in your short-form video editing service?+
Everything between raw footage and a published video. Each month you receive: a researched 30-topic calendar mapped to what patients in your specialty actually search; hook lines and short scripts for every topic; a structured shot list so your shoot day is efficient; hook-first editing on every clip (we restructure the footage so the strongest moment opens the video); word-by-word animated captions proof-read for medical terminology; b-roll, licensed music, zooms and pattern interrupts; a colour grade and caption style matched to your brand; an NMC-aware compliance pass on claims and patient footage; and native 9:16 exports for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and TikTok — each with platform-appropriate covers, caption copy and hashtags. On the Growth plan we also schedule and publish for you and send a monthly retention report showing which formats are driving profile visits and enquiries, not just views. You film; we handle literally everything else.
How does the batching system work — can one shoot day really produce 30 videos?+
Yes, and it is the only model we have seen survive a clinician's schedule. Before the shoot, we script 30 topics as 30–60 second talking points and organise them into a shot list grouped by location and outfit — so you change your coat or backdrop three or four times and the month's content looks like it was filmed across weeks. A focused 3–4 hour session, filmed on a modern phone with a basic mic, comfortably captures all 30 topics because you are reading from prepared hooks rather than improvising. We then cut each topic into its own video, and strong takes often yield bonus variants. Doctors who tried filming daily and burned out in three weeks typically sustain this system for years, because the entire monthly time cost is one blocked morning. If you prefer, we also direct the shoot live on a video call, adjusting framing, delivery pace and hook takes in real time.
How fast is the turnaround on each video?+
First drafts are delivered within 48 working hours of receiving approved raw footage, and a full monthly batch of 30 videos is completed within 7–10 working days of your shoot day — so your entire month is scheduled before the first video goes live. Each video includes two revision rounds, and caption or thumbnail-text corrections are turned around same-day. For time-sensitive content — a health awareness day, a trending topic in your specialty, or a news cycle your patients are asking about — we offer a priority lane with 24-hour delivery. Onboarding takes about a week: we audit your existing account, research your specialty's search demand, build the first topic calendar and lock your caption style and brand grade before your first shoot day, so the system starts producing from week two of the engagement.
How does pricing and billing work?+
Two flat monthly plans and a custom tier. Starter is ₹12,000 per month plus GST for 15 edited videos; Growth is ₹22,000 per month plus GST for 30 videos with scheduling, publishing, hook A/B variants and monthly retention reporting included. Custom plans cover hospitals, multi-doctor batching, bilingual caption versions and on-site shoot direction. Billing is monthly in advance with no long-term lock-in — we ask for a 90-day initial commitment because short-form growth compounds with consistency, and judging the system on three weeks of posting is judging it before the algorithm has finished learning your account. Unused video credits roll over for one month, which matters for doctors whose OPD or surgical schedule occasionally eats a shoot day. There are no per-revision charges, no export fees and no surprise line items: the plan price is the whole price.
How is this different from your YouTube video editing service?+
They are different crafts optimised for different viewer behaviour. Long-form YouTube editing is about sustaining attention across 8–15 minutes: chaptering, narrative structure, search-optimised titles, thumbnails and end screens — content patients find when they deliberately search a question. Short-form is interruption media: your video appears uninvited in a scroll, and the edit has 2–3 seconds to earn the next ten. That means aggressive restructuring (the best moment moves to the front), faster cut rhythm, always-on captions, vertical safe-zone composition and platform-native packaging for three different feeds. Many of our doctors run both — long-form builds deep trust and search presence, short-form builds reach and discovery — and we can cut Shorts from your long-form footage as a bridge. But if you are choosing one entry point for growth in 2026, short-form reaches more new patients per hour of your filming time than any other format.
Can trend-based content actually work for doctors without looking unprofessional?+
Yes — if trends are treated as formats, not scripts. A trending audio or structure is just a distribution vehicle; what travels through it is up to you. We maintain a filtered trend list for healthcare: formats that adapt cleanly to myth-busting, patient FAQs, 'what I wish patients knew' and day-in-the-life content, minus anything that trivialises illness, implies guaranteed outcomes or requires dancing you will regret. Every trend adaptation passes the same compliance screen as our original edits: no cure claims, no fear-mongering thumbnails, no patient-identifiable content without documented DPDP-compliant consent, and claim language kept within NMC advertising guidelines (with DHA and SMC equivalents applied for Gulf-based doctors). In practice, the doctors who grow fastest use trends for perhaps 20% of their calendar and evergreen patient questions for the rest — trends spike reach, evergreen answers convert that reach into consultation requests.
What footage and equipment do I need to provide?+
A modern smartphone, decent light and fifteen minutes of setup. Specifically: any phone from the last three or four years shooting 1080p or 4K vertical video; a ₹1,500–3,000 clip-on wireless mic (we will recommend one — audio quality matters more than camera quality); and a clean clinic backdrop near a window or with a basic softbox. We handle everything that intimidates people about video: you get a shot list, camera-placement photos, prepared hooks to read, and optional live direction over a video call during your shoot. Upload the raw files to a shared drive and you are done. You do not need a videographer, an editor, a studio or a teleprompter — though if you want a step up in polish, our Custom plan includes on-site shoot direction in Jaipur and Delhi NCR, and we can brief a local videographer for doctors elsewhere, including our international clients.
Do you handle captions in languages other than English?+
Yes. Hindi and Hinglish captions are included on all plans — for most Indian doctor accounts, Hinglish captions measurably outperform pure English because they mirror how patients actually speak about symptoms. On Custom plans we produce full bilingual versions: the same master edit delivered with separate English and Hindi caption tracks, or English and Arabic for Gulf-based doctors, so one shoot day serves two audience segments. All caption work is human-reviewed rather than auto-generated-and-forgotten, because YouTube and Instagram auto-captions reliably mangle drug names, procedure terminology and Indian-language phrasing — and a misspelled medicine name in a doctor's video damages exactly the credibility the video exists to build. We also adapt on-screen text sizing for caption-heavy languages so nothing collides with platform UI elements like the like button or username overlay.
I practise outside India — do you work with international doctors, and how am I billed?+
Around a third of our short-form clients practise outside India — primarily the UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah), Singapore, and Indian-origin doctors in the UK and US. The workflow is fully remote and timezone-tolerant: you film to our shot list locally, upload to a shared drive, and review drafts asynchronously; we schedule posts to your local peak times. Compliance is adjusted per market — DHA advertising rules for Dubai, SMC guidance in Sharjah, MOH norms in Singapore, GMC/ASA sensibilities for UK doctors — because a claim that is acceptable in one jurisdiction can trigger a complaint in another. International clients are quoted and invoiced in USD, AED or their local currency at plan-equivalent pricing, with payment by card or bank transfer and GST-free export invoicing. Review calls are scheduled to your timezone, and Arabic caption versions are available for Gulf audiences.
Which specialties see the best results from short-form video?+
Any specialty where patients research before choosing — which is nearly all of them — but the mechanics differ. Visual, elective specialties (dermatology, aesthetics, dental implants, hair transplant, LASIK) convert fastest because results are showable with consent and purchase intent is high. IVF and fertility perform exceptionally on myth-busting and emotional-journey content, though they need the most careful compliance handling around success-rate claims. Orthopaedics and physiotherapy win with exercise demonstrations and 'should I worry about this pain' formats. Paediatrics builds enormous parental trust with practical, seasonal content. Cardiology and internal medicine grow more slowly but attract high-value, high-loyalty patients through symptom-awareness education. During onboarding we study the top-performing doctor accounts in your exact specialty — in India and internationally — and build your first calendar from formats already proven with your patient population, rather than guessing from generic content advice.
