How Long Does It Take to Go from Track to Final Video

In today’s creator economy, artists and independent singers are launching songs faster than ever — but one big question still remains:

 How long does it actually take to go from track to a fully finished music video?

Whether you’ve just recorded your song or are about to release it with visuals, this timeline can feel confusing. At We Do Effects India, we work with new and established artists to create videos that feel cinematic, stay on-trend, and are delivered on time.

Here’s a real breakdown of what’s involved, how long each step takes, and why having the right creative teammakes all the difference.

Step 1: Track Ready (Before We Begin)

Before anything visual starts, your audio must be locked.

What this means:

• Final version of your song (mixed & mastered)
• High-quality audio file (.wav or .mp3)
• Clarity on the vibe: romantic, street, dance, emotional, devotional, etc.

⏱️ Time: 0 days if track is ready.
We can begin immediately after we receive the final track.

Step 2: Concept + Pre-Production

Once we have your song, we move to concept development.

We’ll ask:

• Do you want a storyline-based video or performance-style?
• Indoor shoot, outdoor, or both?
• Any specific visual themes or references?
• Solo artist focus or group visuals?
• Budget, styling, location preferences

Once the concept is locked, we handle:

• Script/storyboarding
• Location scouting
• Casting (if needed)
• Set planning
• Scheduling shoot dates
• Look styling & outfit coordination

⏱️ Time: 3–7 days, depending on complexity.

With experienced short film makers in Delhi NCR, we can speed up this phase without compromising quality — especially for trending formats like Instagram reels or romantic music visuals.

Step 3: Shoot Day(s)

The actual shoot usually takes:

• 1 day for single-location or indoor videos
• 2–3 days for multi-location, cinematic videos

We bring in:

• Director & DOP
• Light + camera setup
• Costume + makeup stylists (optional)
• Assistant crew
• Props, vehicles, or special gear if required

We work around your comfort while capturing shots that enhance both audio impact and visual energy.

⏱️ Time: 1–3 days

Step 4: Post-Production (Editing, VFX, Color)

After the shoot, our editors begin shaping your music video.

This includes:

• Cutting all raw footage
• Syncing visuals with your song
• Color grading for cinematic tone
• Adding transitions, effects, text (if needed)
• Applying visual filters, overlays
• Final export in required formats (Reels, YouTube, etc.)

A reliable Affordable Video Production Company India like We Do Effects ensures your video is crisp, modern, and ready to go live across all platforms.

⏱️ Time: 5–10 days, depending on style and revisions.

For example:

• Performance-only reels = quicker edit
• Storyline-based short film visuals = longer, more detailed edit

Final Step: Revisions + Delivery

We send the first draft for your feedback.

Typical client requests:

• Change a transition
• Adjust a cut or zoom
• Add logo/text
• Shorten/lengthen a section

We allow 2 free revisions before final export. Once approved, we deliver:

• YouTube full version
• Instagram Reel cut
• Square/vertical teaser formats
• Thumbnail image (on request)

⏱️ Time: 2–3 days (depending on feedback)

Total Time: From Track to Final Video

Project Type	Estimated Time
Simple performance video	8–10 days total
Mid-level concept music video	12–15 days total
Cinematic + storyline visual	15–20 days total

 Tips to Save Time as a Singer:

1. Have your final audio ready before booking your shoot.
2. Know your vision (story, outfit, location vibe).
3. Stay available for shoot dates and approvals.
4. Let the creative team guide styling, flow, edit pace.
5. Don’t overthink revisions — simplicity works best.
