'How much for a quick edit?' is never quick
Turn your editing services into clear packages with revision limits built in. Clients pick a tier, approve, and pay before you open DaVinci Resolve.

Sound familiar?
Every client thinks editing is fast
They shot 3 hours of footage and want a 5-minute video by Friday. 'It's mostly cutting it down, right?' They don't see the color correction, audio mixing, graphics, and exports that fill your timeline in Premiere.
Revision requests disguised as 'small tweaks'
The first round of feedback is fine. The second round changes the entire structure. The third round is 'can we go back to version one but keep the music from version two?' Each round is an hour you're not billing for.
Quoting without seeing the footage
A client asks for a quote before sending footage. You estimate based on their description. The footage arrives: shaky, poorly lit, inconsistent audio. Your quote didn't account for the cleanup work.
The solution
How SendScope helps
Editing packages with clear boundaries
Offer a Basic Cut, Full Edit, and Premium Production as tiers. Each specifies video length, revision rounds, color grading, sound design, and turnaround -- so 'quick edit' has a real definition.
Revision rounds defined per tier
Your Basic tier includes 1 revision. Your Premium includes 3. When a client pushes past the limit, the deal page is your reference for offering paid additional rounds.
Payment before you start editing
Clients pay through Stripe on approval. You import their footage into your timeline knowing the payment is settled. No more delivering a final export and waiting for the check.
Auto-invoicing saves admin time
Every approval generates a professional invoice. You spend your time in DaVinci Resolve or Premiere, not in an invoicing app.
How it works
Three steps to getting paid
Create your deal page
Set up your editing services as tiers. Define video length, complexity, revision rounds, turnaround, and delivery formats for each level.
Share with your client
Send one link after the initial conversation. Your client reviews the options and picks the tier that matches their project and budget.
Get paid and start editing
Your client approves and pays. You receive the footage, open your NLE, and start cutting with scope and payment locked in.
