How much does YouTube Shorts editing cost in Australia?

What YouTube Shorts editing costs in Australia: a fixed monthly fee for 20 Shorts cut from your long videos, in US dollars, with captions and revisions included.

One monthly price

Shorts editing with 20CLIPS is $999 a month in US dollars for 20 videos, about $50 each. It covers choosing the moments, reframing for vertical, captions and subtitles, sound design and music, basic motion graphics, 9:16 delivery and 2 revisions per video.

An Australian creator or business can plan around that. The price does not grow with the length of the source or the number of Shorts from one recording. The service page explains the work, and the pricing page lists inclusions.

How the options stack up

Cutting Shorts yourself costs time. Twenty takes longer than most owner-operators can spare, so the job tends to stop.

An employee adds wages, on-costs, equipment and supervision. That fits daily video work and is heavy for about 20 Shorts a month.

Freelancers charge per clip or batch. That suits a trial. A regular channel means rebriefing and some drift in style. A package is a single fee and a standard process, and the Australian hiring guide compares them.

Stretching the fee

Send the full recording. More material means better choice of moment.

Note timestamps for anything you love. They will be included.

Use older videos too. A back catalogue is ready-made raw material.

Not in the fee

  • Thumbnails and titles
  • Filming new videos
  • Uploading to YouTube
  • A licensed track of your choice
  • More than 20 videos a month

Terms

The price is the same each month, with no setup fee and no long-term commitment, so you can cancel anytime. If you need more than 20 Shorts, raise it on the 30-minute call.

A reality check for owner-operators

Work out how long you would spend finding, cutting, reframing and captioning twenty Shorts. For most people that is more than a working week, and it usually comes out of paid work or sleep.

If you post rarely or your channel is brand new, a lighter plan may suit better. Say so on the 30-minute call and it can be talked through before you commit.
