Video Editor Contract Template - Fully Customizable, Crafted From Personal Experience

Hey there!🫶 If you’re tired of stressing about the details in your client contracts and just want something easy, clear, and professional, I’ve got you!!

This contract will help you set all the right expectations with your clients. It's perfect for editors who are just starting out and have no idea what an editor contract would even look like. This template has everything you need to protect yourself and your business while keeping things professional.

Here’s what’s included:

• Services Provided: From trimming videos to adding sound effects and creating thumbnails – everything’s laid out so you and your client are on the same page.
• Payment Terms: No more awkward conversations about money. You’ll have your payment schedule, late fees, and everything you need to make sure you get paid on time.
• Content Submission & Responsibility: Your client is responsible for providing all the materials they need for the videos. If they don’t, they still gotta pay. (Yep, no free work here!)
• Rollover Policy: If the client doesn’t send everything on time, they can roll over unused video edits to the next month – but they can’t just keep pushing things back. Gotta keep it fair!
• Break Policy: Life happens, and your clients might need a break. But don’t worry – no refunds if they take one. You’re still getting paid for the time you’ve reserved for them.
• Revisions & Turnaround Time: The contract includes a clear structure for revisions (because we all know clients can get a little picky sometimes), plus a quick turnaround time.
• Confidentiality & Ownership: You get to use the final videos for your portfolio or promo material, but your clients own the final product. All fair and square!

This contract is super customizable, you can change the terms to match exactly what you need, but the basic clauses are already there, so you don’t have to start from scratch!

Who’s it for?

• Freelance video editors
• Social media managers
• Photographers
• Anyone who works with clients in need of video editing!

Why You Need It: Trust me, this template will save you SO much time and energy. It's taken me 4 years of experience in dealing with clients and being put in different situations to have a contract I finally feel fully protected by, so I'm not only saving you a lot of time, but potentially a lot of money (refunds are very annoying to deal with haha!)
