About video editor services
Supply the footage organised and with a clear brief, because an editor charging hourly to make sense of a card dump is expensive. Music needs a commercial licence, stock footage needs the right one, and subtitles matter more than most clients expect, since most social video is watched without sound. Agree the number of revision rounds.
