The cost of YouTube Shorts editing for UK channels: a fixed monthly fee for 20 Shorts cut from your long-form videos, with captions and revisions included.
Shorts editing with 20CLIPS costs $999 a month in US dollars for 20 videos, about $50 each. That 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.
For a UK channel the useful part is predictability. The price does not rise with the length of a source video or with how many Shorts come from one recording. The work is described on the service page and every inclusion is on the pricing page.
One long recording can supply several Shorts, spreading the cost across more videos.
The editor watches or listens to the full recording to choose them, and that effort is part of the fee.
A wide source is reframed around the speaker in every Short.
Included on every video.
Two rounds are included per Short.
Every plan includes the same complete monthly system.
Cutting Shorts yourself costs nothing in cash and a great deal of time. Twenty takes much longer to produce than they take to watch.
An in-house editor brings salary, employer costs, equipment and management. That pays off when video is a daily job, and is more than needed for about 20 Shorts a month.
Freelancers charge per clip or batch. That is good for a test. For a regular channel the repeated briefing and style drift add up. A package turns this into one fee, and the UK hiring guide compares all three.
Send the full recording and let the editor choose. More material means better moments.
Mark timestamps for anything you love. They are included.
Go back to older videos. A back catalogue is a ready supply.
The price stays 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, mention it on the 30-minute call.

Count the hours twenty Shorts would take to find, cut, reframe and caption yourself. For most people the number is well above a working week, and those hours would otherwise go on recording the next long video.
If your channel is small or irregular, a lighter plan may suit you better, and the 30-minute call is the place to raise it before you commit.
