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.

But first, what is this? Well, it's an arrangement where clients pays a recurring fee to a professional video post-production company in exchange for a predetermined amount of video production services on an ongoing basis. 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
One of perhaps the more obvious reasons as to why a video editing subscription is a good idea for your business is that it's the ultimate time and energy saver. 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!
It takes years to learn how to perfect sound design, lighting set ups, camera equipment and angles, motion graphics & visual effect. We have put in those hours over the last decade which means we can save you tonnes of time & produce a piece of creative that really helps you stand out as a brand.
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. We have spent the last decade mastering our craft, from setting up the perfect camera angle to building the right lighting set ups and knowing exactly which lens should be used on multiple cameras. We can provide that consistent quality you’re looking for. Lastly, over the years we have produced edit sequence after edit montage, we know how to produce exactly what you’re looking for!
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. It's more important that ever to create content for the native platforms. We edit for a variety of platforms such as Youtube, TikTok, Facebook, Linkedin, TV advertisements, digital display boards & Instagram.
