Video Editing and Production Agency for UK Brands
Brand films, product demos and social cutdowns, cut by one in-house team — with a working day that overlaps a UK morning and early afternoon closely enough for live review calls to be a normal part of the process, not a rare exception.
What you actually get
Pre-planned shoot days, cut for UK platforms
We confirm shot lists, locations and talent before the crew arrives, so nobody's improvising the next setup on the day. If you're sending us footage your own team already captured instead, the same rule applies on the output side: a UK audience splits across vertical short-form and widescreen long-form, so a cut gets framed once for both rather than needing a second re-edit pass to fit a different platform.
Live review calls, not just an async queue
Pune is only 4.5 to 5.5 hours ahead of the UK depending on the time of year, so our 10:00–19:00 IST studio hours line up with a real stretch of a UK working day. That's enough overlap for a review call to genuinely happen live, the same day a cut lands, rather than every round of notes routing through a shared link with a reply landing the next morning. See the section below for exactly what that overlap looks like.
In-house motion graphics and grading, not a subcontracted queue
We keep both disciplines inside the studio instead of routing them to a freelancer with other clients on their plate. That's the step where a schedule usually slips — waiting on somebody else's availability — so removing it removes the most common source of delay between a locked edit and a cut that's actually ready to publish.
Pacing matched to the platform it's built for
A fifteen-second Reel isn't cut to the same rhythm as a ninety-second brand film, and audio — original or licensed — gets matched to whichever one we're finishing before delivery. Ignoring that difference is one of the more common reasons a brand's social output underperforms once it's actually live. We also build in a defined number of revision rounds per deliverable up front, so a UK client knows exactly how many passes are included before a change becomes a separately billed request, rather than finding that out partway through a project.
How this actually works
Why the UK–Pune working day overlaps more than you'd expect
Our studio runs Monday to Saturday, 10:00 to 19:00 IST. The UK sits 4.5 hours behind India for most of the year and 5.5 hours behind when the UK is on GMT rather than BST — either way, that overlaps a genuine chunk of a UK working day, roughly 9am to 1 or 2pm UK time, not a single narrow slot squeezed in before your day even starts.
That's real enough overlap that review calls, direction changes and quick clarifications can happen live on a normal working day, rather than every round of feedback routing through a review link with a reply landing the next morning. We still use timestamped comments on a shared link for routine notes, since not every revision benefits from a scheduled call, but the option to just talk it through is genuinely there for this market in a way it isn't for every country we work with.
Payment runs by international transfer or card, in GBP or USD, and every deliverable has its cost locked in before we start a shoot or edit — no open-ended billing. We're a Pune-based production team, not a UK-based one — no local office, no virtual UK address standing in for one. The overlap is real, but it's still an overlap, not a shared timezone, and we'd rather be plain about that.

Guide
UK Video Production & Editing Pricing Guide
What Video Editing and Production Cost in the UK
UK video pricing splits fairly cleanly by scope. Public pricing guides across the UK market show a basic freelance edit — a single social cutdown or a straightforward corporate edit from footage you already have — running roughly £300 to £800. A small-agency package covering a short brand film plus a handful of social cutdowns typically lands between £1,500 and £5,000. A fuller production — a shoot day plus a multi-deliverable campaign edit — runs £5,000 to £20,000 or more, largely driven by shoot logistics and how many platform-specific versions the campaign needs.
The UK market's own labour costs are the main reason a London-based studio's quote for comparable scope usually lands higher than an offshore team's, us included — the process and finished quality can match, but the underlying day-rate structure doesn't. Within the UK market itself, the other big swing factor is shoot complexity: a one-location, one-day shoot with no travel prices very differently from a multi-location campaign with talent and permits to coordinate.
These are general UK market figures aggregated from public pricing guides, not a Webcomp quote — we don't publish a flat rate because scope varies too much project to project. Every deliverable gets scoped against what it actually needs, with a fixed cost agreed in writing before a shoot or edit starts.
- Basic freelance edit: £300–800 — a single social cutdown or straightforward edit from existing footage.
- Small-agency package: £1,500–5,000 — a short brand film plus a handful of social cutdowns.
- Full production: £5,000–20,000+ — a shoot day plus a multi-deliverable campaign edit.
FAQ
Questions before you get started.
Live calls are genuinely practical here — Pune's studio hours overlap a UK morning and early afternoon by several hours, so a review call the same day a cut lands is realistic. We still use a shared review link with timestamped comments for routine notes, but it's not the only option the way it tends to be for markets with a much wider gap.
Yes. Send over the raw files and we'll take it from there — editing, motion graphics, colour grading and cutting it down per platform — without needing to have had anyone on set for the shoot itself.
Turnaround depends on how involved the edit is, but a simple cutdown usually lands in days. That's a direct result of keeping motion graphics and colour grading in-house instead of sending them out to a separate vendor and waiting on that vendor's own schedule.
GBP is the default, though we'll invoice in USD if that's more convenient for your finance team. Either way, we agree a fixed cost per deliverable with you before a shoot or edit gets underway.
That's scoped and written into the quote before we start, per deliverable — so you know upfront how many passes are included rather than discovering it partway through. Most straightforward cutdowns include two rounds; longer brand films usually get more, since the first cut has further to travel.
