Pricing depends on what the edit has to carry.
A simple talking-head edit, a YouTube video with B-roll, a batch of clips, and a monthly agency workflow are different workloads.
Xero Film prices editing around scope, not guesswork.
One-off edits start from $99.
Monthly creator workflows start from $749/month.
Agency support starts from $1,499/month.
Final pricing depends on footage length, deliverables, editing depth, turnaround, captions, motion needs, thumbnails, and workflow requirements.
Not built for the cheapest possible cut. Built for defined projects, clean review, and delivery-ready content.
Pricing depends on what the edit has to carry.
A single talking-head video, a weekly YouTube workflow, and a podcast-to-clips system are not the same job.
We price video editing around scope, not guesswork.
Footage length matters. So does final duration, number of clips, caption style, B-roll depth, review rounds, turnaround, and whether the work is one-off or recurring.
If you want the short answer: send the footage details and output list. We’ll tell you what the project actually needs before giving you a number.

Pricing Is Based on Scope
What changes the final price?
The starting price gives a useful baseline. The final quote depends on what the edit actually needs.
Source footage length
How much raw footage needs to be reviewed and cleaned.
Final deliverables
One video is different from one video plus clips, captions, crops, and platform versions.
Editing depth
Basic cleanup is different from B-roll, motion graphics, retention work, thumbnails, and styled captions.
Turnaround
Rush delivery affects scheduling and pricing.
Review process
Clear feedback keeps pricing clean. Scattered revisions increase workload.
Project files

- captions or subtitles
- audio cleanup where possible
- color consistency
- platform versions
- short-form clips if included

- posting or channel management
- unlimited revisions
- rush delivery
- project files
- advanced audio repair
- complex color grading

Good Fit / Not Fit
Pricing only works when the working relationship is clear.
We are a better fit when the content has a real publishing or business use.
You do not need a long document. You need the details that affect the edit.

Good Fit
You are likely a fit if you need:
- professional one-off edits
- YouTube videos with better pacing
- short-form clips from long recordings
- talking-head or expert-led content
- recurring monthly editing
- agency overflow support
- white-label delivery
- Adobe-based workflow support
- clear review and delivery process
This is not about making the process difficult. It is about making sure the quote matches the real work.
Not the Right Fit
Probably not the right fit if you need:
- $20–$50 cheap edits
- unlimited revisions
- same-day complex delivery without rush fee
- unclear scope
- random style changes every revision
- editing with no platform, reference, or deadline
- Project files without discussing them upfront
