How to Price Yourself as a Video Editor🎬
Most editors struggle with pricing. Charge too low, and you burn out. Charge too high, and clients walk. So how do you price yourself correctly?
Let's break it down 🧵
3/ How Should You Price Yourself?
Think of it as a two-way street:
✅ How much value does your work bring to the client?
✅ What’s the minimum amount you’re satisfied with?
Your rate should be between those two numbers.

This post got me:
7 video editing clients
$1,000+ of revenue
Brand recognition
Let me explain how.
When Among Us was the most popular game on YouTube there was a huge demand for video editors for all the new content.
I positioned myself with a simple strategy to outdo all the other editors.
Creating my own editing style that no other editor had done at the time I set myself out from other editors in the eyes of clients.
I created animated characters to for each person playing to identify who they are and make talking scenes more interesting.
Taking the most popular gameplay clips I fully edited and posted such content on my channel and amassed over 130K views.
And since no one else could do the same type of editing I had an incredible amount of inbound asking for editing with this exact style.
Don't copy styles.
Instead re-invent and reimagine them to create something truly unique.
That's what sells.

I re-edited Bleach with completely new sound effects.
Let me show you how I did it. 🧵👇
How to edit your videos 2x faster
1. Standardize your workflow
Work through your video stage by stage, cutting then visuals, then music, then sound effects.
2. Don't do wasteful visuals
Crazy visual effects aren't always the answer. Sometimes the simpler idea can be 10x more effective.
3. Prepare your assets
You should download assets before starting on the project, leave as little as possible to the last minute.
4. Pope in the pool
Entertain your audience while providing context.
Exposition doesn't have to be boring!
This could mean throwing in comedy, action, or tension while providing context.
5. Don't overedit
Don't make edits more complicated for the sake of it.
Prioritise the viewer experience above all else.
If that comes with a simple edit then you don't need to make anything flashy.
This also lets you utilise your time more efficiently.
3. Match eye-lines cuts
Keeping the cut between two shots at the same eye level allows for a smooth transition between scenes as well as avoiding extra viewer effort to watch the video.
1. Murder your darlings
You might have a bunch of shots you would love to see make it to the final project...
But just because you find a particular shot cool or engaging doesn't means the viewer will feel the same way.
Focus on the viewer experience and the flow of your video
