Video Station Producing Only Poor?

So is anyone else having this problem? My sim is Level 5 in the media production skill and has all the added components but yet still produces poor videos? Even with adding transitions, effects, and edits only bumps it up to good/great. Is there even an excellent level and if so how do I reach it?

  • There should be an excellent level.

    Maybe the quality increase is random, sometimes?

    Aside from Editing, adding transitions, and adding effects, there's also the "Combine Videos" feature.

    If you have two different videos, whose topics pair together well, the result is a single video, with better quality, which can still be edited and such.

    I'm not sure on every positive combination, but Homestyle Cooking and Gourmet Cooking go together well.


    Otherwise, you might have to try using Drone-recorded videos, with the HD camera upgrade.
    You're probably like a fraction of a quality point away from Excellent.
    Also, are you doing your Video Production work while Inspired?

    No I’m not! Does that help, because I’ll definitely start doing that.

    Inspired boosts the skill gain for Video Production, so I'm guessing it also has a positive effect on the outcome of editing and whatnot.
    Worth a shot, especially if you have access to Inspiring Decor.
