Video editing prices you can see before you pay.
Every price comes from one rule: how much raw footage you send. A YouTube edit is $49 for up to 10 minutes of footage, then $3 a minute. Shorts are $29 each, dropping to $19 each when you order 12 or more.
Music, logos, reference images and storyboards are free to add. You pay half to start and the rest after you've watched a watermarked preview of the finished edit.

How the price works.
- Priced by footage, never by the hour
- The total depends only on the minutes of raw video and what you order. It's shown the moment your files are added.
- Half now, half after the preview
- The deposit starts the edit. The balance is due only after you've watched the finished video, watermarked.
- Two rounds of changes included
- Point at the moment and say what to change. Each round comes back as a new preview.
- Extras when you approve
- Extra short $19, thumbnail $25, channel banner $39, intro or outro $39, made from the same footage and style.
- Free to add
- Music, your logo, reference images and PDF storyboards never change the price. Only video footage is counted.
- Refund if we can't deliver
- If an edit can't be delivered, the deposit is refunded in full.

What should I upload?
Your raw footage, plus anything that helps: music, your logo, reference images or a PDF storyboard. Only the video footage is priced; everything else is free to add. Write what you want in the notes box, in your own words.
What files and sizes can I upload?
MP4, MOV, MKV, WAV, MP3, JPG, PNG, PDF and most other common formats. Up to 25 files and 25 GB per order, 10 GB per file, and up to 60 minutes of footage.
Why is there a watermark on the preview?
So you can watch the complete edit before paying the second half. The clean, full-quality file unlocks the moment you approve and pay.
