Types of video editing services for businesses
Video ads
Editing built around one sales message and a clear call to action, in several formats for each platform.
Company introduction video
Tells the story of the business, services and team, and builds trust before a call.
Product and clinic videos
Shows a service or product professionally with close-ups and explanatory text.
Podcast and long-form content
Cutting, audio cleanup and turning an episode into short clips.
Motion graphics
Animation that explains a complex idea simply.
From raw footage to final video: the process
1) Idea and script
Define goal, audience, length and message. Good editing starts with the idea.
2) Receive materials
Footage, audio, logo and brand colors. Shoot with good light and clear sound.
3) Cut and structure
Order the clips, remove the extra and set the rhythm.
4) Sound and music
Clean noise, balance audio and choose licensed music.
5) Graphics and captions
Titles, burned-in captions, logo and motion elements in your brand style.
6) Color and export
Color correction and export in each platform's format (9:16, 1:1, 16:9).
Video editing pricing (estimates)
| Service / package | Typical price | Notes |

| Ad video (30–60 seconds) | $50–300 | Depends on versions and revisions |
| Company video (2–4 minutes) | $150–1,000 | May include script and graphics |
| Monthly package (8–12 videos) | $250–1,200 / month | Suited to social media |
Figures are rough market estimates, not a quote. Final pricing depends on scope and features, not on your country, and we send a written quote after understanding your needs.
How to get better edits from the same footage
- Start with a strong hook in the first two seconds: why should I keep watching?
- Make the video shorter than you expect; cut every second that does not serve the idea.
- Use burned-in captions because many views happen without sound.
- Fix audio first: bad sound loses viewers faster than bad picture.
- Keep identity consistent: fonts, colors and logo in every video.
- End with a clear call to action: call, book, visit the site.
Common mistakes in business videos
- A long opening with no hook, so viewers leave before the message.
- Unclear audio or music louder than the speech.
- Text too small to read on a phone.
- No clear call to action at the end.
- Using unlicensed music, which can get a video removed.
- Inconsistent identity across videos.
Formats and sizes by platform
| Platform / use | Size | Aspect ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Reels / TikTok / Shorts | 1080×1920 | 9:16 |
| Instagram / Facebook feed | 1080×1350 or 1080×1080 | 4:5 or 1:1 |
| YouTube / company website | 1920×1080 | 16:9 |
We usually deliver several versions of the same video to fit each platform.
How to choose an editor or company
- Watch samples of the same type of video you want (reel, ad, corporate).
- Ask how many revision rounds are included and the delivery time.
- Make sure music, fonts and clips are licensed.
- Ask for delivery in several formats.
- Agree on ownership of source files and project files.
- Test with a small video before a monthly contract.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to edit a short video?
Usually one to three days for a reel depending on graphics and material quality, and a week or more for a company video.
Do I need professional shooting before editing?
Good footage improves results a lot. You can start with well-lit, clear-sound phone clips and strong editing, then upgrade to professional shooting.
Do captions and music come with editing?
In most packages yes: burned-in captions and licensed music. It is best to confirm this in writing before signing.
How many revisions are included?
Usually two to three rounds are included and extra rounds are charged. Put it in the agreement.
