Quoting video editing at a fixed price
A video editing quote should state the expected footage length, the finished runtime, included revision rounds and the export formats.
The quote turns 15 hours of labour into a fixed $940.00; if the job runs over, the video editing business absorbs the extra time, so quote hours you are confident about.
The biggest single commitment is "Footage review and assembly edit" at $360.00 (29% of the price): name the exact model, grade or deliverable so there is no argument about what was promised.
What is fixed in this quote
- Labour: Footage review and assembly edit, Fine cut and pacing and Color correction and 1 more, fixed at $940.00.
- Services: Animated lower thirds and intro, Burned-in captions and Thumbnail design, fixed at $226.00.
- Fees: Stock footage clip licences, fixed at $60.00.
- Anything outside "Edit a 12-minute online video episode from 3 hours of multicam footage, with captions and a thumbnail" needs a new quote or a signed variation.

- The accepted price, $1,226.00, and the quote number
- Customer name (Alex Morgan in the sample), signature and date
- When payment is due: Net 7
- The last day the price holds (30 days after issue in this sample)
Video Editor pricing tips
- Note the length of raw footage received next to the assembly line, since three hours of rushes take far longer to log and sync than thirty minutes, and it explains the hours.
- For weekly episodes, number each invoice by episode and keep the per-episode rate visible, which helps creators reconcile your cost against each video's sponsorship income.
- Record the date of picture lock, then list any changes requested after it as a separate hourly line; post-lock changes force re-exports of color, sound and captions.
- When you buy stock clips, fonts or music for the client, name the licence holder in the line detail so they have proof if a platform flags the content later.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write a video editor quote?
List exactly what is included (8 lines for edit a 12-minute online video episode from 3 hours of multicam footage, with captions and a thumbnail in the sample), give one fixed price ($1,226.00), the validity period and payment terms, and add a signature block for acceptance.
Is a video editor quote binding once accepted?
Generally yes: an accepted quote is a fixed-price offer for the scope it describes, so extra work needs a new quote or a signed variation. Local contract law decides the details.
Should a video editor quote ask for a deposit?
It depends on the job size; for video editing the usual terms are net 7, and a deposit is optional.
