# How to edit a video for ticketed club night

Turn clips from a previous night and approved next-event copy into a story for club promoters. Introduce the next confirmed event while showing the experience available in the previous-event footage.

[The Shorty team](https://shortyedit.com/about#editorial-team) · Updated 15 September 2026

## Key takeaways

- Introduce the next confirmed event while showing the experience available in the previous-event footage.
- Open with the DJ playing to the room.
- The next date, lineup and ticket destination must be supplied; identify footage from previous events correctly.
- Your next brief could focus on a lineup announcement with performer footage or a venue-first event invitation.

## Give the video a clear purpose

Introduce the next confirmed event while showing the experience available in the previous-event footage.

Think about what club promoters need the viewer to understand first. Use the opening to establish that idea, then let the next shots add detail.

## Build your shot list

- The venue exterior after dark
- The DJ playing to the room
- Hands on the mixer
- The crowd responding to a drop
- A wide view of the dance floor

## Put the moments in order

Open with the DJ playing to the room. Connect it to the crowd responding to a drop and the venue exterior after dark, then use hands on the mixer to add detail. Finish with a wide view of the dance floor.

One event name, one verified date and one ticket message; label previous-event imagery when needed.
