How much does short-form video editing cost in Australia?

The price, plainly

For Australian businesses the cost of short-form editing with 20CLIPS is $999 a month in US dollars, covering 20 videos. That is about $50 per video. The fee includes captions and subtitles, b-roll, sound design and music, basic motion graphics, hook and pacing work, 9:16 delivery and 2 revisions on each video.

There is no per-video charge, no setup fee and no extra for captions. Owners and managers can set a figure in the budget and it will stay the same each month. The reasoning behind what the package includes is on the service page, and the full list is on the pricing page.

What pushes an editing bill up or down

Quantity

Twenty a month works out to about five a week. If you only post twice a week, remember unused videos do not roll over.

Polish

Every layer, such as captions, music and graphics, takes time. They are all inside the monthly fee here.

Raw material

Clear audio and steady shots are quicker to edit. A noisy site or a wobbly clip takes more care.

Changes

Revision rounds are where project-based prices rise. Two per video are included.

A stable look

A settled style makes every later video faster to build.

The usual alternatives and what they cost you

Many owner-operators edit their own video, which costs nothing in cash and a lot of evenings. Twenty vertical videos with captions can take days, and the job tends to lose out to the work that earns money.

Hiring an editor adds wages, on-costs, a computer, software and supervision. For a business that needs roughly 20 videos a month it often costs more than the work justifies.

Freelancers charge by project, which suits a campaign. For a monthly flow you end up briefing again every time. A package is a fixed fee and a repeatable method, and the hiring guide for Australia compares all three.

Stretching the monthly fee

Hand over complete recordings. One long session with a client or a recorded class can yield several of your 20 videos.

Collect your comments and send them in one go. It keeps the two revisions for changes that matter and keeps the next batch on schedule.

Start with references. A few videos you like settle most style questions before the editing starts.

What it does not cover

  • Writing scripts or planning content
  • Filming new footage
  • Posting your videos
  • Tracks you choose and license yourself
  • More than 20 videos in a month

Commercial terms to know

The fee is the same each month, there is no long-term commitment and you can cancel anytime, which makes a one-month trial a reasonable way to start. If you need more than 20 videos a month, mention it on the 30-minute call and it is discussed before you commit.
