Free Video Editor Quote Template

Stop bleeding billable hours on 'handshake' deals that end in ghosted payments and infinite revision loops.

Conversion Tip

Explicitly define your 'Final Delivery' date as contingent upon the client providing all raw assets by a specific deadline to prevent open-ended project timelines.

Why use a fixed quote?

Stop haggling over email. As a Video Editor, a formal quote locks in your scope and allows you to demand a deposit before you start working.

📈 What this quote covers:

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prevent 'just one more quick change' from eating my profit?

Specify the exact number of revision rounds included in the quote and list a fixed hourly rate for any 'Out of Scope' requests made after the final approval.

Is it standard to ask for a deposit before I start a rough cut?

Yes, a 50% upfront deposit is the industry standard to lock in your calendar and ensure the client is financially committed to the production schedule.

What should I do if the client delays sending the raw footage?

Include a clause stating that your delivery timeline only commences once 100% of the project assets and the deposit have been received.
