Video editing help

Help for clients

Short answers for before and during a video editing job: sending footage, notes, revisions, files and billing.

Help 01How to send me your footageGoogle Drive, Dropbox, Frame.io, WeTransfer or a mailed drive. What to use and how to set the link.Help 02File formats and cameras I takeI edit in DaVinci Resolve, which opens footage from almost every camera and phone. What to send and when to check first.Help 03What to send with the footageA short note saves hours. Length, deadline, where it will live, one video you like, and what must stay or go.Help 04How the review link and notes workYou get a private Frame.io link to each version. Leave notes on the timeline or send a list, whichever is easier.Help 05Revisions and changesNo limit on revisions. Changes are billed at $50 an hour, the same rate as the edit.Help 06How long the first cut takesWe agree on the timing before I start. It depends on how much footage there is, not how long the video is.Help 07Music and licensingMusic comes from a licensed library. You pick the track or I suggest a few. Popular songs can't go in.Help 08What you get backFinal exports in every size you asked for, 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1, ready to upload. Project files on request.Help 09How billing worksHourly work gets an estimate first. Day and week work starts once the invoice is taken care of. Card or bank transfer.Help 10Raw files and project filesYour own footage stays yours. If I filmed the footage, raw camera files are a paid add-on, never part of the edit.Help 11Privacy of your footageYour footage stays in your drive. Nothing gets posted or shared, and your video only shows up on my site if you say yes.
