You approve the quote and pay a 50% deposit. Then you send your raw footage via your preferred file transfer method (Google Drive, WeTransfer, Dropbox). We provide guidance if needed.

Production & Editing

Review & Revisions

1-2 days

We deliver a first cut for your review. You provide feedback directly in Discord with timestamps. We apply revisions until you're satisfied. Most projects close in 1-2 revision rounds.

Final Delivery & Payment

Same day

Once you approve the final version, we send all export files (YouTube-optimized MP4, any raw files requested). The remaining 50% balance is due before the final delivery link is shared.
