Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about video production quotes

How to quote for video production?

Start by breaking your quote into three phases: pre-production (planning, scripting, location scouting), production (shoot days, crew, equipment), and post-production (editing, color, sound). Calculate costs based on day rates for crew, equipment rentals, and estimated hours for editing. Include your creative fee, project management, and usage rights. Be specific about deliverables - video length, formats, revision rounds, and delivery timeline. Add 10-20% contingency for unexpected costs. Our free template includes all these sections pre-formatted to help you create comprehensive quotes quickly.

How much does it cost to produce a corporate video?

Corporate video costs typically range from $2,000 for basic single-camera interviews to $25,000+ for complex multi-day productions. A standard 2-3 minute corporate video averages $5,000-$10,000 including pre-production planning, one shoot day with small crew, professional editing, color grading, and basic motion graphics. Costs increase with additional shoot days, larger crews, specialized equipment (like drones or gimbals), animation, or extensive post-production. Location fees, talent costs, and music licensing add extra. Always visit the location first or get detailed information to quote accurately.

How should I price day rates vs project rates?

Use day rates for uncertain scope or client-driven productions where you can't control efficiency. Day rates protect you from scope creep and extended timelines. Project rates work better for defined deliverables you've done before - you profit from efficiency improvements. Many videographers use hybrid pricing: day rates for shooting, project rates for editing where you control the timeline.

What usage rights should I include in video quotes?

Specify exactly where clients can use the footage - social media only, their website, paid advertising, broadcast TV, or unlimited. Define the duration: 1 year, 5 years, or perpetual. Social media and web usage typically costs less than broadcast or unlimited rights. Always retain copyright to the footage while granting usage licenses. Raw footage, project files, and additional usage rights should be priced separately.

How many revision rounds should I include?

Include 2-3 revision rounds in your base price for standard projects. First round addresses major feedback, second handles minor tweaks, third is for small polish. Define what counts as a revision - substantial changes vs typo fixes. Charge hourly for revisions beyond the included rounds. Clear limits prevent endless back-and-forth and train clients to consolidate feedback.

Should I charge separately for equipment rentals?

Break out equipment costs separately if you're renting gear specifically for the project. If you own your equipment, include it in your day rate as overhead - clients pay for your expertise and the results, not itemized gear lists. For specialized equipment like drones, gimbals, or cinema cameras, separate line items show value and justify the cost.
