Podcast and video editing guides from the edit suite
Written by the people doing the editing, for the people commissioning it. Plain answers, real numbers, no fluff.
Why we write these podcast and video editing guides
We answer the same questions every week: how much does editing cost, how long does it take, what should I send you? These podcast and video editing guides are those answers, written down properly, so you can read them before you hire anyone, including us.
Where to start
If you're about to launch a show, read the best podcast recording setup for remote interviews and how to prepare files for a podcast editor. Good recording saves more time than any edit.
If you're budgeting, how much podcast editing costs and how long it takes break down the real numbers.
Working on a film or a sound-heavy project? How film sound design works, layer by layer explains what happens between the shoot and the final mix.
Something we haven't covered?
Tell us through the contact page. Most of these started as a client's question, and if it's useful to you, it's probably useful to someone else too.
Common questions
Who writes these articles?
The editors and sound designers at Vrinda Media Lab. Each guide comes from work we do every week, so the numbers and steps are the ones we actually use.
Can I suggest a topic for a new guide?
Please do. Send it through the contact page. Most of our articles began as a question a client asked us, and the useful ones end up here.
Are the prices in your guides still current?
We update the guides when our pricing or process changes. For an exact figure on your own project, ask for a quote, because length and footage quality change the price.
Rather just ask us directly?
Send the project over. We answer scoping questions without a sales call.
