Businesses across the Middle East and the United States are turning to professional video editing services to keep up with audience demand for high-quality, engaging content. Having a transparent and scalable pricing plan for video editing helps you to choose the best plan for your marketing budget more effectively. ShortVids has designed flexible price plans to suit the different needs of our clients. You can choose your ideal plan from startups experimenting with short-form content to global enterprises producing a steady stream of videos every month.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through our detailed video editing pricing plans, explain what’s included in each tier, and help you choose the one that aligns with your goals. In case you’re new to outsourcing, you can also check our best video editing services in the Middle East guide to understand what to look for when partnering with an agency. For a broader industry view, Statista reports that global video advertising spending is projected to exceed $120 billion by 2027, highlighting the growing importance of strategic video production in business growth.
Why Pricing Transparency Matters
Pricing can be a bit of a mystery when you are searching for the top video editing services. Some agencies show you a starting rate, only to have the final bill look nothing like what you expected. Others offer vague “custom quotes” that make it hard to compare options or plan.
Transparent pricing tells you exactly what you’re paying for. It helps you avoid hidden costs and gives you confidence that you’re making the right investment.
For businesses working across borders, clear pricing also makes it easier to allocate budgets fairly between regions. You know whether a single plan will work for your entire content pipeline, or if it’s worth adjusting spend for different markets. This balance ensures you’re not overpaying in one region while underserving the other.
ShortVids has kept this in mind by creating price plans that are easy to understand and scalable, whether you’re creating one video a week or launching multi-channel campaigns. All these plans are customizable depending on your needs and budget, and you need to contact our support team for further details. Suppose you’re curious about how pricing aligns with your goals. In that case, you can also check our agency plans for high-volume editing, which give growing brands room to expand without constantly renegotiating.
Factors That Affect Video Editing Costs
The cost of video editing services may change depending on many factors. It can vary widely depending on a mix of creative, technical, and logistical factors. You need to understand these elements, which will help you budget more effectively and avoid surprise charges down the road.
1. Video Length & Complexity
Editing a quick 30-second TikTok is very different from polishing a 15-minute corporate explainer. Shorter videos often cost less, but complex editing (think motion graphics, animation, or advanced transitions) can increase the total price regardless of length.
2. Turnaround Time
If you need a video back in 24 hours, you’ll likely pay a premium for rush delivery. You can stay on budget by planning content in advance.
3. Number of Revisions
Normally, some video editing services give you unlimited revisions, while others limit the number. So, depending on the pricing structures, revisions can affect the total cost.
4. Platform-Specific Requirements
As we know, Instagram Stories, YouTube, or LinkedIn usually have different aspect ratios, text overlays, and visual styles. Creating multiple versions for different platforms can increase editing time and the price tag.
5. Add-On Services
Features like scripting, subtitles, or content repurposing can add value but also add to the cost. For example, our scripting services help brands save time and ensure messaging consistency, which may be worth the extra spend.
By knowing what drives pricing, you can better compare plans and find a service that fits your creative vision and your budget, whether you’re operating in the GCC, the US, or across both markets.
Global & Regional Benchmarks for Video Editing Costs
Having a benchmark is a great way for businesses to know if they’re getting a fair deal for editing services or if they might be overpaying. It helps make sure you’re making the most of your budget! According to Upwork’s 2025 Creative Industry Report, professional video editing costs from $10 to $60 per hour. It depends on expertise and service scope.
Prices can be more competitive in the Middle East due to a growing number of skilled editors and agencies. Many high-quality short-form editing services in the GCC start at $100 to $300 per month for basic packages, a fraction of what many Western markets charge for similar work.
However, the US market often leans toward project-based billing for brand campaigns, where agencies may quote anywhere from $500 to $5,000+ per project, depending on complexity and add-ons like motion graphics or 3D animation.
This price gap highlights a major advantage for brands working with cross-regional teams. You can choose premium talent in the Middle East while maintaining competitive production budgets that rival global standards.
Why Choose ShortVids with Flexible Price Plans for Your Video Editing Needs?
Choosing an editing partner is about more than price. It’s about trust, speed, and knowing the work will match your voice every time.
Here’s why many brands in the Middle East and the US pick ShortVids with their most suitable price plans:
- Consistent quality: We pair experienced editors with clear brand rules so your videos maintain a consistent look and tone across weeks and months.
- Fast, predictable delivery: Short-form edits come back in 24 to 48 hours. That keeps social calendars full and campaigns on time.
- Production and editing: Our agency handles everything from planning to shooting, editing to branding, and even optimizing for platform-specific algorithms
- Unlimited (reasonably used) revisions: You can fine-tune until it feels right, without surprise fees.
- Region-aware creative: We edit for Arabic and English audiences and know the cultural nuances that matter in the UAE and KSA, while matching the performance expectations of US campaigns.
- One team, many skills: From script help to thumbnails to ad-ready cuts, you get a coordinated crew rather than a string of freelancers.
- White-label & agency support: If you’re an agency, we work behind your brand, with reports and handoffs made simple.
- Hybrid approach: humans + smart tools: We use AI where it speeds things up (transcripts, scene detection) and people for storytelling, tone, and final polish.
