Send us the footage and a deadline. We cut, grade, caption and export it in every aspect ratio your channels need, with a fixed number of revision rounds and a delivery date you can plan a campaign around.
Quick Answer
Most video work that lands on our desk in Mt Eden is one of four things. Paid ad cuts for Meta and YouTube, where the first two seconds decide whether the spend works. Organic social edits — Reels, TikToks, Shorts — usually batched from one shoot day. Corporate and internal video: founder interviews, capability films, safety and induction content, conference recaps. And product video for e-commerce, which is the least glamorous and often the highest-return category, because a 20-second loop on a product page does work every single day. We edit all four, and we are honest about which one your budget actually suits.

Step one is getting the footage off your hands cleanly, via a shared drive link rather than a transfer service whose links expire mid-project. Give us the raw camera files, not screen-recorded or re-exported copies — every re-encode costs quality you cannot get back. If you have interview audio recorded separately on a lav or a field recorder, send that too. Separate audio is almost always better than camera audio, and it is the biggest quality upgrade available on a small budget.
We then log the footage and build a paper edit — a written running order of which clips carry which part of the message — before touching the timeline. You approve that structure first. Approving a structure takes ten minutes; disagreeing with a finished cut takes a week. From there we assemble a rough cut with placeholder music and no grade, so you review story and pacing rather than being distracted by colour. Once that is signed off we lock picture and move to finishing: grade, sound mix, motion graphics, lower thirds, end card, captions.
Two revision rounds are included, and we define what a round means so nobody argues later. A round is one consolidated set of feedback delivered at once. Ten separate emails over three days is not one round, and drip-fed feedback is how projects quietly double in cost. Changes after picture lock — swapping an interview, re-scripting the voiceover, adding a product — are quoted as additional work, because they mean redoing the grade and mix. Extra rounds beyond the included two are typically NZ$150 to NZ$350.

Edit-only pricing, working from footage you already own: a single short-form social cut runs roughly NZ$250 to NZ$600 depending on length, graphics and how organised the source material is. A batch of eight to ten reels from one shoot day usually lands between NZ$1,200 and NZ$2,500, which is where the per-video cost drops sharply because we only set up the project once. An animated explainer or motion-graphics piece with custom illustration sits around NZ$2,500 to NZ$6,000. Ongoing retainers, where we cut a fixed volume each month, generally run NZ$1,500 to NZ$4,000 per month.
With production included, a half-day shoot in Auckland plus edit typically runs NZ$2,500 to NZ$4,500, covering a camera operator, lighting and audio, and a small number of deliverables. A full corporate brand film with scripting, a shoot day, professional voiceover, grade and licensed music generally lands between NZ$6,000 and NZ$15,000. Broadcast-standard work with talent, location fees and paid-channel usage rights starts above that and should be quoted properly rather than estimated. Travel outside Auckland, drone work under a certified operator, and studio hire are separate line items.
What you supply is short but not optional: raw footage, your logo in vector format, brand fonts or a licence for them, colour values, and approved copy for any on-screen text. If you want a specific track you need the commercial licence — we will not put unlicensed music on a client video, because the takedown lands on your channel. For anything featuring staff or customers we need signed release forms before the edit starts. Send a reference video you like and one you dislike; that pair tells us more than a page of adjectives.
Why Choose Us
The editing happens in Adobe Premiere Pro for cuts and After Effects for motion graphics, with grading in DaVinci Resolve when a project needs it. Audio gets treated properly — noise reduction, levelling to broadcast-safe loudness, and a music bed licensed for commercial use rather than pulled off YouTube. Captions are burned in or supplied as SRT depending on the platform. You review through a timestamped link, so feedback attaches to the exact frame rather than being described in an email thread. That single habit removes more revision rounds than any other change we have made.

Our Process
A 5-step playbook we run with every Auckland client. Same rigor for a NZ$2,000/month SMB engagement and a NZ$15,000/month enterprise pod — only the depth changes.
Goal, audience, platform, deadline, and two reference videos — one you like, one you do not.
Footage transferred, checked for usable takes and audio quality, and logged into a shot list.
Written running order approved before the timeline is built, so structure is settled early.
Assembly with placeholder music and no grade, reviewed on a timestamped link.
Grade, mix, graphics and captions, then exports in every ratio your channels need.
FAQ
Edit-only from your footage: roughly NZ$250 to NZ$600 for a single short-form cut, NZ$1,200 to NZ$2,500 for a batch of eight to ten reels, and NZ$2,500 to NZ$6,000 for an animated explainer. With production included, a half-day shoot plus edit is around NZ$2,500 to NZ$4,500 and a full corporate brand film generally NZ$6,000 to NZ$15,000. Ongoing monthly retainers run NZ$1,500 to NZ$4,000. We quote per project after seeing the footage, because organised source material can halve the hours.
Three to five working days for a short-form cut from clean footage. One to two weeks for a batch of reels from a single shoot. Three to six weeks for a corporate brand film including scripting, shoot, grade and voiceover — most of that is scheduling and approvals rather than editing. Rush work is possible for existing clients when the footage is ready, and carries a priority fee.
Two consolidated rounds are included. A round means one set of feedback delivered at once, not a stream of separate emails. Additional rounds are typically NZ$150 to NZ$350. Changes after picture lock — new interviews, rewritten voiceover, added products — are quoted separately because they mean redoing the grade and the audio mix.
Whatever your channels need, exported individually rather than cropped from one master. Typically 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, 4:5 for in-feed Meta, 1:1 where you still run square, and 16:9 for YouTube, your website and event screens. Delivery is H.264 MP4 for web, with ProRes masters on request for archive or broadcast.
Raw camera files rather than re-exported copies, any separately recorded audio, your logo as a vector file, brand fonts and colour values, approved on-screen copy, and signed release forms for anyone appearing on camera. If you want a specific music track you need the commercial licence for it — we will not use unlicensed music, because the takedown lands on your channel.
Often yes, and for social content phone footage is frequently fine. The limits are audio and light. Phone audio recorded across a noisy room cannot be fixed in post, and heavily underexposed footage falls apart when graded. Send us a sample before committing to a full shoot and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth editing or whether a half day with a camera operator gets you a much better result for the money.
