DoneCut
Upload your raw footage and have humans edit your YouTube videos or Shorts, with transparent pricing based on footage length—pay half up front and the rest when satisfied.
About DoneCut
DoneCut is a pay-per-order video editing service: you upload your raw footage (such as YouTube video footage or short-video footage, up to 60 minutes long), and the service cuts it into a finished video. Pricing is based on footage length, and you see the exact quote before paying; you pay half up front to start the edit, and after reviewing the watermarked preview you can request up to two rounds of revisions, then pay the remaining half to download the full-quality, watermark-free file. Besides video footage, supporting files such as music, logos, reference images, and storyboard PDFs can be added for free and are not counted toward billing.
