How Much Should I Charge for Video Editing?

Per project pricing is often preferred by clients as it provides cost certainty. However, hourly rates work well for ongoing relationships or when project scope is unclear. Most editors charge between $25-150 per hour depending on experience.

Add a 25-50% rush fee for projects needed within 24-48 hours, and 15-25% for projects with less than a week turnaround. Always communicate rush fees upfront before starting work.

Include the number of revisions, delivery timeline, file formats provided, and any additional services like color correction or audio editing. Be specific about what's included to avoid scope creep.
