How long does it take to edit my video request? #
At Epic Frame, we provide general estimates for video editing based on the length and complexity of your project. These estimates serve as guidelines, with more complex edits requiring additional time and simpler requests taking less. As a client, you can also influence the turnaround time. The final timeline will depend on our production team’s assessment.
For a more precise estimate and to set appropriate expectations, please contact your Editor, Account Manager, or Customer Support once a few requests are completed. If you believe your video complexity is average, our general estimates are a good starting point.General Estimates
All estimates are in business days and depend on the scope, complexity, and details of your request. Timelines may vary based on our production team’s evaluation, but we strive to deliver your projects as quickly as possible while maintaining the highest quality.
A fully edited video featuring a moderate amount of engaging animations, b-roll, subtitles, and transitions typically falls under these general estimates.
For requests that are short, simple, or require minimal editing, faster turnaround times than those indicated may apply. You can even have multiple requests edited per day with our premium plans.Factors Influencing Turnaround Time
- Scope:
- Longer footage or multiple edits in one request can extend the turnaround time.
- Examples include creating a 10-minute video from over an hour of footage or producing several ads from one source.
- Complexity:
- Projects with extensive requirements like custom animations, advanced visual effects (VFX), or detailed sound effects (SFX) will take longer.
- High-detail projects such as music videos requiring creative cuts or professional ads needing color grading may extend timelines.
- Request Details:
- Incomplete requests with missing information or corrupted files can delay the process.
How to Expedite Your Turnaround Time #
You can help make the editing process more efficient by:
- Providing detailed instructions and necessary files upfront.
- Scheduling calls with editors to clarify expectations.
- Organizing footage and specifying which parts to use in the final edit.
- Allowing time for editors to familiarize themselves with your preferences to speed up future edits.
Additional Considerations #
- If your request exceeds the general estimate due to complexity or scope, our editors will communicate any need for additional time.
- Large projects may be divided into smaller requests to manage workload effectively.
- Please note that all turnaround times are estimates and depend on various factors, including client cooperation and request specifics.
These guidelines help set realistic expectations while ensuring high-quality video production at Epic Frame.
