Video pricing
made simple

Because some videos are quick to assemble and polish, while others need more input to shape the message, improve flow, and create a stronger result. The two things that move the price are how long the video is, and how much creative and editorial input is needed. Both of those are visible in the matrix above before you commit to anything.

Standard Edit and Guided Edit prices are fixed based on duration. You will not be quoted more than the price shown for a video that fits clearly within those parameters. Custom Project prices start from the figure shown but are tailored to each brief — we will always give you a clear number before any work begins.

If a video runs a little over the duration bracket — say, 65 seconds instead of 60 — we will have that conversation honestly rather than automatically jumping you to the next tier. If it's clearly in a different bracket, the next price applies, but we will always flag that before proceeding.

Yes — the prices on this page are the prices you pay. We are not currently VAT registered, so there is no VAT to add. We will update this page clearly if that changes in the future.

Yes. We ask for 50% upfront before work begins, with the remaining balance due on delivery of the final file. For larger Custom Projects, we may agree a staged payment schedule — this will be set out clearly in the project agreement.

For ongoing work or batches of videos, we are happy to discuss a retained arrangement or batch rate. Get in touch and we can work out something that makes sense for both sides. Ad-hoc discounting on single projects is not something we offer — the pricing above already reflects straightforward, honest value.

If the first edit isn't right for you, you can request a full refund — including the deposit — and we will process it within 5 working days, no questions asked. The guarantee applies to the first edit only. Once you provide feedback and we move into revisions together, the guarantee no longer applies, because at that point we are refining collaboratively based on your input rather than delivering a fresh interpretation of the brief. In our experience, the revision process resolves the vast majority of issues — but if the first edit genuinely misses the mark, we would rather refund you than drag the project in a direction that isn't working.

Marie will deliver the first version of your edit within 3 to 5 working days of starting the project. You will be confirmed of the project start date when your deposit is received. A Guided Edit typically takes a little longer — 5 to 8 working days — given the additional creative input involved. Custom Projects are scoped individually and a delivery timeline will be confirmed as part of the quote. Rush delivery is available if you need it sooner — see optional extras above.

For a Standard Edit, we need your footage or stock assets, your script or brief, and any brand guidelines such as fonts, colours, and logo files. For a Guided Edit, a rough brief and your raw footage is enough to get started — we will work with you to develop the structure and narrative from there. The more context you can give us about what the video needs to achieve, the better.

Standard Edit includes one round of revisions and Guided Edit includes two rounds. A revision round means you review the edit, consolidate all your feedback into one document or call, and we action those changes. Additional revision rounds can be added at an extra cost. Revisions are based on the original agreed brief — if the direction changes significantly mid-project, we will discuss whether that constitutes a scope change.

We use a shared folder system — typically Google Drive or WeTransfer — depending on file size and your preference. You upload your assets there and we deliver the finished video in the same way. Final files are provided in the format agreed at the start of the project, usually MP4 optimised for web and social.

Life happens. If you need to pause a project, just let us know and we will hold your place in the schedule where we can. If you need to cancel entirely, the deposit is non-refundable as it covers time already committed to your project, but we will not charge for work that has not yet started.

This pricing is designed for short-form marketing videos, explainers, promos, testimonials, and case study style edits — typically up to 3 minutes. It is particularly well suited to SMBs and entrepreneurs who need professional video content for their website, social media, or sales process.

Usually when a video runs over 3 minutes, involves bespoke animation or motion design from scratch, features multiple interview subjects or contributors, requires campaign-level creative with multiple cutdowns, or needs a more involved production approach that goes beyond a standard marketing edit.

Scriptwriting from scratch is available as an optional extra and will be quoted based on the length and complexity of the brief. Within a Guided Edit, we will help you refine and structure a script you have already started — but if you need one written from a blank page, that is a separate service we can quote for alongside the edit.

Yes. Light captions and text overlays are included in all tiers. Fully styled, word-for-word closed captions are included in Guided Edit and Custom Projects. If you need a translated subtitle track for another language, that is available as an optional extra.

Yes, additional aspect ratios — square for Instagram feed or vertical for Reels, TikTok, and Stories — are available as an optional extra. We can also create shortened cutdowns optimised for different platforms if you need a suite of content from a single shoot.

We have access to licensed music libraries and will select appropriate tracks for your video. If you have a specific piece of music you want to use, we will need you to confirm you hold the appropriate licence for commercial use. We cannot use commercially released music without a valid licence, as this creates copyright issues for any platform you publish on.

Finished videos are delivered as high-quality MP4 files, exported at the resolution and aspect ratio agreed at the start of the project. We can provide different export settings for specific platforms — YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram — if required. Source files are not included by default but can be discussed for longer-term client relationships.

Start by telling us what you are trying to achieve — not the technical details, just what the video needs to do. Who is it for? Where will it live? What do you want people to think or do after watching it? From there, we can guide you on which tier makes sense, what you need to pull together, and what the process looks like. A short call is usually the fastest way to get clarity.

The simplest way to think about it: if you can hand over a finished script and all your assets and just need them put together well, that is Standard Edit. If you want someone to help you make the video actually work — not just look polished, but tell the right story in the right order — that is Guided Edit. If your project is more complex than a typical short marketing video, we will quote it as a Custom Project.

Yes — we are happy to share relevant examples during an initial conversation. Because client work is often commercially sensitive, we share examples on request rather than publishing everything publicly. Just get in touch and let us know what kind of video you are working on, and we will show you the most relevant work.

Yes. If your project involves commercially sensitive content, we are happy to sign a mutual NDA before any brief is shared. Just let us know at the outset and we can get that in place quickly before the conversation goes any further.
