How to hire monthly video editing package in Australia: freelancer, in-house or monthly package

How to choose a monthly video editing package in Australia: what to compare, what to ask and how packages differ from freelancers, employees and agencies.

The choices in front of an Australian business

A business that wants regular short-form video can edit it themselves, hire a freelancer, take on an editor, sign an agency retainer or buy a monthly package. The best fit depends on how many videos you need, how much control you want and how much time you have to manage someone.

This page is a guide to comparing packages. For the figures on 20CLIPS see the cost page, and for how a month runs see the package page.

Questions for any package supplier

Ask every supplier the same questions and compare the written answers. If you already work with people in other cities, a shared-folder process will feel familiar.

  • How many videos each month?
  • How many revisions are included?
  • How do I send footage and get files back?
  • What is not covered?
  • What is the minimum term and how do I stop?

Red flags

  • No list of what is included
  • Extras that appear later
  • A long contract up front
  • Promises about reach

The routes side by side

Freelancer

Flexible, but each job needs a brief and quality depends on who is free.

Employee

A dedicated person, with wages, on-costs and equipment. Right for constant video work.

Agency retainer

Often adds strategy and filming, at a higher cost than editing alone.

Monthly package

A fixed fee, a repeatable method and no lock-in. Best for steady output of about 20 videos.

How 20CLIPS answers

A 30-minute call comes first and fixes the delivery schedule. In the meantime read how to choose a short-form video editing service, browse ideas for a month of videos and see the Sydney and Melbourne pages.

Use a trial month

With no long-term commitment, the first month is your test. Look for three things: videos that look like your brand, captions that are right and a change request that comes back done.

If you are not sure, start with footage you already have and judge the first batch before committing to a wider plan.
