Should we create product introduction and technical explanation videos in-house or hire a professional? The truth about costs revealed through labor conversion.
The importance of utilizing videos is increasing in the manufacturing industry, from exhibitions and sales materials to recruitment activities and even technology transfer. However, there are not a few challenges such as, "When I try to start, I don't know the cost implications," and "I tried to create it in-house, but the results are not as expected." This document objectively compares the advantages and disadvantages of "outsourcing" and "in-house production" in video production. It visualizes often overlooked factors such as "the workload of the person in charge" and "equipment acquisition costs," and simulates which option yields higher productivity. Along with three recommendations to avoid failure, please use this as a checklist to determine the optimal video production system for your company.

Applications/Examples of results
**Main Uses** - Consideration of Production Structure: As a basis for determining the optimal "ratio of outsourcing to in-house production" when launching new video projects. - Cost Re-evaluation: To verify the reasonableness of current outsourcing costs and estimate hidden labor and training costs associated with in-house production. - Basis for Internal Proposals and Approvals: As data for reporting and proposing budget formulation for video utilization and changes in production structure (in-house production or switching to outsourcing). - Optimization of Operational Flow: As selection criteria to streamline multifaceted video utilization for exhibitions, product explanations, recruitment, social media, etc. **Target Audience** Persons in charge or responsible for marketing, public relations, sales planning, human resources, and DX promotion departments in B2B companies (especially in manufacturing and technology sectors). **Benefits of Implementation and Achievements** We support the establishment of a sustainable video utilization structure that balances quality and cost, preventing failures stemming from the misconception that "in-house production equals cheap." This is particularly utilized in manufacturing environments dealing with product introduction videos that require specialized knowledge, serving as guidance for selecting optimal partners and internal training.
