I want my footage turned into videos ready to publish
Video editing turns agreed footage into captioned videos sized and finished for the platforms you choose.
It runs in two parts. A setup, once, where your brand and your voice get discussed and your caption style, overlay style and export presets get built, with your first video made to them. Then every video after that is counted, because the hard part already happened.
Filming is a separate service. So is posting it.
A short video is up to 60 seconds finished, cut from up to 10 minutes of footage. The length of what you send is what decides the work, not the length of what comes back, because the footage still has to be watched.
One setup, paid once, then everything after is counted. The setup is where the hours are: your brand and your voice discussed, the look built, and up to two revisions while it is being agreed. Every piece made afterwards sits on that, which is why each one costs what it costs.
The setup is paid in full before work starts, because the design happens whether the look is kept or changed. Everything after it is invoiced on delivery.
Anything inside the template. A different word, a different clip, a caption moved, another photo, a typo, one of your brand colors swapped for another.
Anything that changes the template. A different look, a different layout, a new concept, recutting to a different structure. That takes a call, and the piece is charged again as a new item.
Raw clips come in, finished files go out. The usable parts get cut, the audio gets levelled, captions get generated and then corrected by hand, and on screen text goes on in the style agreed at setup.
You end up holding the finished files, ready to post. Nothing here posts them.
More on how working together works.
A shared album or a shared folder in a drive you already use. Phone video at full quality is fine. Send more than you think is usable, because the unplanned moment is often the clip that works.
Because the first video is where the hours are. Your caption style, your overlay style and your export presets get built once and then every video after that is a cut and an export. Without the setup, every video would carry that cost again and each one would be four times the price.
It is priced by how much there is, in ten minute blocks. Nothing is refused for being long, and you can work out your own bill before you send it.
Sound off is a normal way to watch. They get burned in rather than left to the platform, which keeps them readable and on your style. YouTube generates captions automatically and says itself that accents, background noise and mispronunciation affect the result, which is why they get corrected by hand here.
Color, sound levels and framing get improved. Out of focus, badly lit or unusably shaky footage does not come back, and you get told that instead of being billed for an edit that will not work.
Not always, and that is said before the work rather than after it. A clean cut needs a gap to cut on. Where there is none, the cut is made as well as the footage allows and you are told which ones were tight.
You do. Every exported file is yours to keep and reuse wherever you want.
I read it and reply with the scope and the price before any work starts.
Tell me the result you want and where I can see the business now. I use that information to identify the most useful service or package and decide whether I can quote it in writing. If one missing detail changes the work or price, I will ask for that detail or suggest a short call.
