When Sharing Raw Video (and photo) Files Can Be a Win-Win
All Business Videography plays nice with other marketing agencies, including making raw video files available for purchase.
While video editing is a core service offered by All Business Videography LLC, we understand that not every marketing team requires post-production. In certain drone videography projects, clients prefer to take over the editing process themselves. For that reason, we offer raw footage delivery at a fair price—especially for drone shoots.
The subject of "giving" raw files is a spirited debate among the creative community. Click here to read a real-life Reddit on the topic.
How All Business Videography Works with Other Marketing Companies
We know that some teams like to do their own video editing. That’s why we offer the option to deliver raw drone files that you can use however you like. You don’t need to give us credit, and you can share the videos and photos anywhere in the world. We’re happy to work with your team’s plan.
This kind of setup worked really well on a recent project. We flew our drone over a vacation home, and the client’s team wanted all the files just as we filmed them—no editing needed. We made sure everything was filmed safely and legally by a licensed drone pilot. Here’s what we gave them and how it was priced.
What You Get from a Typical Drone Project
-
25 drone video clips
These short videos are about 15 to 45 seconds long. Each one shows a different angle, like flying over the house or circling around it. -
23 drone photos
These pictures show the house, roof, yard, and nearby areas from above. They work great for websites, ads, or real estate listings.
Everything was filmed using a DJI Mini 3 drone, which captures clear video in 4K quality. If the client wants a wide-angle lens to show more of the scene, we can use that too—at no extra cost. All work was done by a licensed and insured drone pilot, so the job was safe, legal, and professional.

Case Study: Drone Video and Photo Project
We worked on a project where the client wanted all the raw drone files—no editing, just the videos and photos we captured. Here's what the cost looked like:
-
Video clips: $800 total
(25 clips at $32 each) -
Photos: $460 total
(23 photos at $20 each) -
Total project cost: $1,260
This price makes it easy for clients to see what they’re getting. It also helps them plan future projects, whether they need more or fewer shots.
We use this type of drone service in many fields. We often help people in real estate, construction, hospitality, and tourism. Realtors use drone clips to show off homes and buildings. Contractors use photos and videos to check rooftops or track progress on a job site. Vacation rental hosts—like people on Airbnb—use our footage to help more guests book their place. Clean, clear views from above make a big difference. You can see an example in the video below, where we filmed a lake house and the area around it.
How Long a Commercial Drone Video Shoot Takes
Most drone shoots like this take about 1.5 to 3 hours. That depends on the size of the property and the weather. We always send a licensed drone pilot who knows how to fly safely and legally. That means we follow FAA rules and plan ahead to get great shots fast.
What We Use to Record Drone B-roll (and photos)
We use the DJI Mini 3 drone, unless we talk about a different option. This drone shoots 4K video, which means the footage is sharp and detailed. If you want a wide-angle lens to show more in each shot, we can add that at no extra cost.
