You shot
the film.
We cut the trailer.
Post-only trailer editing for filmmakers, producers, and indie studios. Client-provided footage cut into a theatrical-style teaser or trailer. From $1,500. No shoot required, no mystery pricing, 10–14 day turnaround from locked handoff.
$1,500
starting
Up to :30 finished teaser. Music sync, basic sound design, 2 title cards. Built for social rollout and festival teasers.
$2,500
starting
:30–2:00 finished trailer. Full sound design, motion graphics, logo animation, licensed music sourcing. The standard theatrical trailer.
$3,500+
festival-ready
Feature-length source. Custom title sequence, advanced SFX layering, color consistency pass, festival-ready delivery formats (DCP on request).
Color work scales with the condition of your footage. Already-graded film adds $0. Raw S-Log3 straight off the camera adds a hero-grade premium. Most trailers don't need the full hero grade — a Dailies Pass is often the right call.
| Source Condition | Teaser | Trailer | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
Already Color-Graded Finished film — no color work needed. | +$0 | +$0 | +$0 |
Dailies Color Pass Rec. 709 normalization + consistency. Not a hero grade. | +$150 | +$250 | +$400 |
Log / Flat Footage S-Log3, LogC, etc. Quick hero grade from flat source. | +$300 | +$500 | +$800 |
Raw / Ungraded Full hero color grade from scratch. | +$750 | +$1,200 | +$2,000 |
Mixed / Problem Sources Multiple cameras, exposure issues, restoration needed. | +$1,000 | +$1,500 | +$2,500+ |
Dailies Pass vs Hero Grade: A Dailies Pass applies a baseline Rec. 709 LUT and matches clip-to-clip consistency — it makes the trailer look clean, not cinematic. A Hero Grade is full creative color direction (mood, film-emulation, stylization). Most trailers cut from already-finished films only need the Dailies Pass.

Theatrical craft at indie pricing.
Post-only. No shoot required.
Your footage, our edit. We screen the entire source, build the cut, layer sound, and deliver — without spinning up a production.
Theatrical pacing, not template pacing.
Trailer cutting is a specialty craft. We treat yours like a film, not a Fiverr template — reveal structure, act breaks, earned climax.
Festival-ready deliverables.
Premium trailers ship in formats festivals actually want — DCP on request, proper aspect ratios, loudness-normalized audio, color-consistent pass.
Transparent pricing.
Three tiers, published on the pricing page. No "quoted on request" mystery. You see the number before you ever book a call.
Footage handoff
You send the full source — feature cut, short, or raw footage — via Frame.io, Dropbox, or a hard drive. We spec the format and turnaround up front.
Full screening + cut direction
We screen every minute of source and build a cut direction: beats, pacing, reveal structure, act breaks. Nothing gets assembled until the direction is locked.
First cut + sound design
Music sync, atmospheric layers, impact hits, transitions, title cards, motion graphics. Delivered via Vidflow for timestamped notes.
Revisions + delivery
Two rounds included. Final delivery in hero cut + requested cutdowns + 9:16 social version. Typical turnaround: 10–14 days from locked handoff.
Stack any of these onto a trailer tier. Typical turnaround is 10–14 days from locked footage handoff — rush delivery available at a 25% premium.
Voiceover Direction
VO casting guidance + placement in edit. Talent fees billed separately.
Rush Delivery
Under 7 days from locked footage handoff. Plan ahead when you can.
Additional Cutdown
:15 TV spot, :06 bumper, or alternate edit — each.
Title / Logo Card
Beyond the 2 cards included in each tier.
Raw Deliverable Export
ProRes master or DNxHR master on request.
