How much does video production cost in the UK?
The VouchQuote team ·
Video editing in the UK typically costs between £100 and £2,000 per project. Editing footage you already have is much cheaper than a shoot with a crew.
Typical prices
- Short social cut-downs from existing footage: £100–£300 each
- A batch of six reels: £400–£900
- A two-minute explainer or brand film, edit only: £600–£1,500
- Filming as well as editing: from £1,200 a day
What changes the price
The amount of raw footage, motion graphics, subtitles, colour grading, licensed music and how many versions you need for different platforms.
What to send your editor
- All the raw footage, labelled
- Your logo, fonts and brand colours
- Two or three reference videos you like
- Where the video will be shown and in what shape (vertical, square or wide)
Revisions and music
Ask how many revision rounds are included and whether licensed music is part of the price. Both are common sources of surprise costs.
