Be willing to reciprocate. Don't get someone to collab on your video and then say you don't have time when they ask you later to collab on their video. Make time for them, if they've helped you.

Of course, you should keep in mind a few technical issues as well. Make sure you ask for file formats and compression codecs that your video-editing program can open. If you're on a Mac, you may not be able to use .wmv files, for instance. What about the aspect ratio? Videos look more cohesive if they remain in one aspect ratio—4:3 (full-screen) or 16:9 (wide-screen)—throughout. (See the "Aspect Ratios" sidebar for more about aspect ratios.) If these are details you're concerned with, make sure you mention them up front.

ASPECT RATIOS

The aspect ratio of your video refers to its width divided by its height. The most common aspect ratios are 4:3 (also known as full-screen) and 16:9 (also known as wide-screen). The majority of editing software can handle either format, and most can even mix the two formats within a single video, without you having to adjust anything. Each program handles output aspect ratios differently, but most of the time this is something you can set manually when you get ready to render. When working on a collaboration video, the project will feel more seamless if everyone involved is shooting at the same aspect ratio, so if this is important to you, mention it up front.
