Social-First Video Content
Many clients aren’t looking for raw footage or flight time. They want a finished social post that performs well, looks professional, and is easy to share. These options focus on creating high-impact short-form videos designed specifically for Instagram, Facebook TicTok or YouTube Shorts.
If you’re hiring me to create a final reel—not just raw footage—here’s how I price those deliverables.
Basic Vertical Edits (Reels, Shorts, TikTok)
$10 per finished second
Polished vertical content for Reels, Shorts, or TikTok. Includes royalty-free music, transitions, text overlays, and branded polish. Delivered in MP4 format, ready to post.
Horizontal Add-On
+ $150 flat rate
Optional wide-format version of the same edit for websites, presentations, or landscape platforms.
Multi-Edit Campaigns
Custom Quote
Perfect for seasonal campaigns, recurring content needs, or multi-location events. Built to fit your brand.
Example: A 60-second vertical reel = $600. Want both formats? Total = $750.
Raw Footage Licensing (Optional)
| Option | Starting Price | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|
| Raw Footage License: | $300 | Unedited drone clips delivered as-is for internal or web use |
| Curated Raw Bundle: | $500 | Selected clips, renamed, framed, and exported for editors |
| Exclusive Use License: | Custom Quote | Full usage rights and content control |
Raw footage must be requested within 7 days of delivery. Archival retrieval may incur additional fees.
