What is a video editing service?

A video editing service involves professionally manipulating and arranging video footage to create a polished final product. It includes tasks like cutting, sequencing, adding transitions, applying effects, animation, graphics, colour grading, audio integration, and text/graphics inclusion by an experienced video post-production company. This service is crucial in post-production for filmmaking, television production, animation and other video content creation, enhancing visual and auditory elements for a cohesive, professional and engaging result.

How much does professional video editing services cost?

The pricing of video editing services can vary widely depending on several factors. These include the complexity and length of the footage, the level of expertise required, the specific editing tasks involved, and the turnaround timeline.

For basic video editing services, such as simple cuts of clips and adding music, you might find more affordable options, especially if the footage is relatively straightforward. However, if your project requires advanced editing techniques, special effects, cinematic storytelling editing, intricate audio adjustments, visual effects, animation or a faster turnaround, the pricing is likely to increase. At Trendy Grandad we edit our projects on the latest editing software to ensure our clients receive the best quality creative output possible & our client satisfaction is always 5 stars!

Perhaps a video editing subscription could work for you?

But first, what is this?

This subscription model is designed to provide businesses with a consistent and cost-effective solution for their video content needs.

The benefits to this are:

Save time

From brainstorming ideas to execution, getting regular video production, clips and animation is pretty time-thirsty. But by outsourcing this task to experts (as in us) through an on-going subscription, your in-house team can focus on other core business activities. It's an efficient way to free up valuable time and resources. Look at us as your new shiny piece of creative software!

Consistent quality
Consistency is something that we all set out to do, but in reality it's not as easy at it first seemed. But with our video editing subscription, no more worrying about those awkward content gaps. Blog posts? Check. Social media gems? You got it. Stunning visual effects? Absolutely. Beautiful storytelling, we got you! And the best part? It's all done at a consistently high-quality that will leave your competitors wondering how you do it. Client satisfaction 100!


Content with a strategy
We're all guilty of posting something last minute on the business social media account because, well, we needed to post something. But unfortunately as many of us will know, any successful and robust marketing strategy requires all activity and content to be well thought out and planned in advance... which means no more last minute frantic social media posting, sorry. So leave the brainwork & storytelling to us and sleep well knowing your content alines perfectly with your business and marketing strategy.
