Hi, Someone asked me to edit a series of videos for her, each being around 2 hours. she is not asking me to add effects but just “cleaning it up” and making it more “modern”. what would you charge for this? Thanks!
either you can set a fixed price or price per final minute of video-- plain editing could be around $18/$20 per hour but expect a 2 hour video to take about 3/4 hours to edit as you run over things a few times. so you can estimate about $75 per video. Which I would say you can then price something between $75-$120 per video if you want to give a flat rate- BUT that price would depend on how many videos, If you are editing many or one I would price it different. If its just 2 or 3 I would price it higher than if its 20 videos etc.
I think its a series of 6 videos with adding pictures to it to make it more visual…but thanks!
If its adding b-roll (which is adding pictures/footage) - not just plain editing, I think it would be more per hour. I wouldnt charge less than 30/ hr atleast
Ya, it actually is B-roll. I’ll probably do that… Thanks!
as @Rtv wrote- once you are adding in pictures/footage/graphics etc then the price is going to go up as there is more work involved then just cutting out the "um"s and "ah"s
