What YouTube Shorts editing costs in the UAE with 20CLIPS: one monthly fee for 20 Shorts, with captions, sound, motion graphics and revisions included.
YouTube Shorts editing with 20CLIPS costs $999 a month in US dollars for 20 Shorts cut from your long-form videos and recordings. That is about $50 each. The fee includes finding the moments, reframing for vertical, captions and subtitles, sound design and music, basic motion graphics, 9:16 delivery and 2 revisions per video.
A UAE channel or company can fix that figure in a budget. It does not change with the length of the source video or the number of Shorts drawn from one recording. The service page explains the work, and the pricing page lists the inclusions.
One long recording can supply several Shorts, which spreads the cost across more videos.
Choosing the right self-contained moment means watching or listening to the whole recording. That work is part of the package.
Turning a wide shot into a vertical Short involves tracking the speaker and framing. It is included in every video.
Captions, emphasis and basic motion graphics are part of each Short.
Two rounds are included on every Short.
Every plan includes the same complete monthly system.
Editing your own Shorts is free in cash and expensive in hours. Reframing and captioning twenty clips takes much longer than the clips run.
An in-house editor makes sense for constant video production, and for a UAE employer includes salary, visa and equipment. For a channel that needs about 20 Shorts a month it can be more than necessary.
Freelancers charge per Short or per batch, which suits tests. A regular channel finds that rebriefing and style drift add cost. A monthly package avoids both, and the UAE hiring guide compares them.
Send the full recording, not pre-cut highlights. A full video gives the editor more choice of moment.
Flag timestamps you love. If you know a moment works, it is included.
Mine your back catalogue. Older long-form videos are fair game and often hold strong moments.
The price is the same each month, there is no setup fee and there is no long-term commitment, so you can cancel anytime. A single month is a sensible first test. If you need more than 20 Shorts a month, raise it on the 30-minute call.

Do not judge a Shorts programme on a single video. After three months, look at how many of your long-form videos produced usable Shorts, which topics drew replies and whether new viewers found the main channel. Weigh that against a fee that stayed the same every month.
If the pattern is good, send more recordings on the topics that worked. If not, the lack of a long-term commitment means you can adjust or stop.
