Understanding Revision Timelines and Video Editing Costs
Video Editing Revisions: How to Request Changes That Save Time and Impact Audiences
We have a video editing revisions policy that really has the health of both businesses at heart. The way business clients request revisions during the video editing process can make a huge impact—not just on project outcomes, but on timelines and budgets. Video production companies like All Business Videography rely on clients’ subject matter expertise to ensure content is accurate and effective. After all, no one knows your business better than you. While we bring production experience, your feedback is crucial for creating videos that truly resonate with your audience.
Understanding Revision Timelines and Editing Costs
At All Business Videography, we value clear communication and efficient turnaround times. To ensure we continue to deliver on our promise of a two-week production cycle, we kindly ask that all revision feedback be submitted within 14 days of receiving the first video draft.
This two-week window allows our editors to remain in rhythm with your project while balancing the timelines of other clients. If revision notes are received after 14 days, additional editing will be subject to our standard hourly rate of $55/hour. This policy helps us maintain high-quality results and timely service across all active projects.
We understand that gathering internal feedback can take time, especially within larger teams. That’s why we encourage setting internal review deadlines and sharing rough cuts with stakeholders as early as possible. Our goal is to be a collaborative partner while keeping your video project on track and within budget.
If you anticipate needing more time for feedback, please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re happy to discuss the timeline and help you plan accordingly.
How to Manage Timelines for Longer Projects
We promise our clients that they will receive their first round of video edits within two weeks after footage is gathered. To help maintain this consistent turnaround, we ask for client collaboration during the revision phase.
For complex or multi-video projects, we may deliver portions of the work in stages. For example, a client might receive five edits from a ten-video series to review first. During this time, editing continues on the remaining videos. We kindly ask that feedback on each portion be provided within 14 days of delivery so that production timelines can stay on track.
If you’re responsible for collecting feedback from several departments or team members, consider these time-saving strategies:
-
Set an internal deadline for comments (e.g., “Feedback due by Friday”).
-
Divide review responsibilities between departments or teams—let one team handle video 1 while another focuses on video 2.
-
Let us know if you'd like to begin editing changes on one video while feedback is still being gathered for others.

How Video Editing Revisions Are Communicated
We typically deliver unlisted YouTube or Vimeo links to clients for easy and secure review. The first version is referred to as the “first cut,” and in many cases, the “second cut” becomes the final.
These videos remain private and unpublished until final approval is given. Once a project is completed, the final file is securely delivered to the client via Dropbox, and the client receives full licensing rights for distribution.
To streamline the revision process, we ask that changes be submitted in a single, consolidated email. Please include timestamps (timecodes) so we can clearly identify where updates are needed. In most cases, revision requests involve straightforward actions like swapping out graphics, adjusting timing, or replacing clips.
