In terms of costs for our freelance video editor day rate, we charge £55.00 per hour + VAT, or £440.00 per day + VAT. When looking for a freelance video editor or freelance editing services you will find that prices vary. The benefit to contacting us is that we have a dedicated in house team with plenty of capacity, this means we can turn around high quality edits even with short notice.

What information will a freelance video editor need from me?

To get the most out of your freelance video editor it is advisable to provide your video editor with as much information as possible. When briefing your freelance video editor it is advisable to create a storyboard or narrative that they can work to. This could be visual, or it could be a bullet list of shots or screens you want to appear in the edited video. If you have a script it is useful to mark up what shots or images will appear as the script is read. If you would like us to work from footage which is lengthy, the timecode for the points you would like included are very useful. The more information you can provide your freelance video editor, or video editor, the quicker and more cost effective the editing will be for you.

Can the freelance video editor come to my premises?

Yes, this is entirely possible. Many of our design agency clients that use us for video editing often like us to bring our iMac to their offices and work alongside them as part of their project team. We are happy to do this for agency projects. We would charge travel costs and depending on location we may need budget overnight accommodation. We are a friendly and personable team and integrate well with agencies that we work with.

When working direct for corporate clients, we prefer to work in our own environment. We edit the video to the brief agreed, and then deliver a proof version over file transfer for client review.
