Outsource Video Editing Services: Retainer FAQs
What is a video editing retainer?
A video editing retainer is a monthly agreement where a dedicated editor is assigned to your account to handle a set volume of editing work each month. It suits creators and businesses who produce content consistently and need reliable capacity without hiring in-house.
What is included in the creator retainer?
The creator retainer includes a dedicated editor, one long-form edit per week, four short-form clips per week, captions, social formatting and unlimited revisions. Direct communication with the editor via Slack or email is included as standard.
Is there a minimum contract length?
The retainer operates on a monthly basis with no long-term lock-in. It can be cancelled at the end of any monthly period with no exit fees or penalties. There are no setup costs or minimum term commitments beyond the current month.
Can the retainer be customised for higher volume?
Yes, custom plans are available for creators or businesses with greater editing needs than the standard retainer covers. Get in touch to discuss a plan tailored to your specific output targets, content mix and posting schedule.
Will I always work with the same editor?
Yes, the same editor is assigned to your retainer from the start and handles all work each month. This ensures consistency in style, pacing and quality across everything you publish without the need for repeated briefing.
How do I submit content each week?
Footage is submitted weekly via a shared Google Drive folder set up at the start of the retainer. A simple submission process is agreed at onboarding so every week follows the same frictionless handover with no back and forth.
