Common questions

What does it cost to have a YouTube show edited?

At Formatschnitt: €950 for the paid pilot, a €1,900 one-off setup, then a fixed monthly plan – €2,200 a month for 4 episodes (plan S) or €3,900 a month for 8 episodes (plan M), each with 3 shorts per episode. All prices net; the pilot is fully credited to the setup.

How do we get started?

With a free 15-minute intro call, then usually the paid pilot: one finished episode plus 3 shorts from your footage. If the pilot doesn’t convince you, it ends there – no further costs.

How much work stays with us?

Only the footage and the sign-off stay with you: you send footage and give feedback – as one list of changes. The pilot measures how much time that saves.

Do you replace our team?

No – I take on your show’s routine episodes, so your team gets time for creative work. Everything is documented.

Is your show a fit?

5 questions, 30 seconds.

Question 1 of 5

How often does an episode come out?
Are your episodes built the same way?
Are there recurring elements (intro, titles, graphics, on-screen text)?
Who edits today?
Should every episode also become shorts?
