Cutleap vs. hiring an editor
A good editor is worth hiring. Here is how the two compare.
Cost
Freelance editors usually charge from around $75 a video at the low end. Thirty videos a month is about $2,250. Cutleap's Solo plan is $49 a month for 30 videos.
Speed
An editor works in hours or days, and you wait through their queue. Cutleap gives you a first draft in minutes and changes in seconds.
Changes
With an editor, each change is a message, a wait and sometimes an extra charge. With Cutleap you type "make the hook faster" and watch it happen.
Where an editor wins
- Taste and storytelling. A great editor sees things software doesn't.
- Big projects. Ads, brand films and anything with a budget and a crew.
- Complicated footage. Lots of cameras, effects, motion graphics.
Who each is for
Hire an editor for the work that deserves one. Use Cutleap for the weekly volume that no one can afford to pay an editor for.
Many people will do both: Cutleap for everyday posts, an editor for the video that really matters.
