Video editing

Brief, budget, timing and delivery

01How does an editing project work?

We start with your brief, footage and references, then agree on the format, scope and deliverables before editing. Next comes the structure and a first cut. After reviewing your feedback, we refine sound, color, titles and graphics, then prepare the agreed versions for your target platforms.

02What should I send for an estimate?

Describe the audience and what your video needs to communicate. Include a footage link or approximate source volume, target duration, publishing platform, references and deadline. If filming has not happened yet, start with the idea and format so we can identify what else is needed for an estimate.

03How much does editing cost?

Pricing is specific to the project. It depends on the volume and condition of the footage, camera count, editing structure, audio and color work, graphics, subtitles and number of versions. We agree on the estimate and scope before starting; any new work beyond that scope is discussed separately.

04How is the delivery date agreed?

Timing is estimated after reviewing the brief and material. It depends on how much footage needs reviewing, graphics complexity, the number of versions and time for feedback, as well as the finished video length. We agree on milestones and delivery before work starts, and discuss urgent requests and available scheduling separately.

05How are revisions handled?

The scope and number of revision rounds are agreed before the project starts. One consolidated list with timecodes and specific requests helps keep changes consistent. A new concept, additional footage or extra versions after approval may affect the budget and schedule; those changes are discussed before proceeding.

06Will I receive the video, the project, or both?

The default delivery is the final video files in the agreed formats. An editable DaVinci Resolve project, organized media and supporting materials can be included by prior arrangement. We confirm the package contents and whether fonts, music, plugins or other third-party resources can be transferred under their licenses.

07Can we use a contract and NDA?

Yes. A project agreement and NDA can be arranged before work begins, covering scope, delivery and the handling of confidential material. Publishing client footage or the finished work in a portfolio is agreed separately.

Motion graphics

From subtitles to animated scenes

08Do you create subtitles, titles and callouts?

Yes. The scope can include transcription and proofreading, timed subtitles, titles, lower thirds, callouts and infographics. We define the style, readability, positioning and required versions first, such as subtitles embedded in the video and a separate timed text file.

09What motion graphics can a video include?

Animated titles, transitions, diagrams, interfaces, graphic inserts and branded elements, using DaVinci Resolve, Fusion and custom templates. We first establish what each graphic should explain or emphasize, then choose the appropriate complexity and style of motion.

10Can you create fully animated scenes?

Yes. A project can include explainer scenes, animated diagrams, interfaces and other sequences with substantial graphics. A script or scene description, references and approximate duration help define the scope. The feasibility of specific animation, including 3D elements, is assessed before production starts.

11Can you create templates for my brand?

Yes. Titles, lower thirds, intros, transitions and Fusion compositions can form a consistent visual system. We define what you need to change yourself, such as text, colors, a logo, duration or media. The delivery format, required fonts and template dependencies are agreed before work starts.

Training

DaVinci Resolve, Fusion and your projects

12What can I learn in a session?

Editing, audio, color, titles, Fusion, exporting and project organization in DaVinci Resolve. Sessions are built around a practical outcome: completing a first video, learning a tool or improving an existing workflow. Topics and your current level are discussed before the sessions.

13Can I book one-to-one sessions with my own footage?

Yes. Individual online sessions and consultations can focus on your project, editing decisions, errors or a particular production task. Before the session, it helps to share your DaVinci Resolve version, operating system and the result you want to achieve.

14Is the training suitable for beginners?

Yes. You can start with project organization, importing footage and a first edit, then move on to audio, color and exporting. If you already have experience, sessions can focus on Fusion, templates, automation or specific difficulties in your workflow.

15What language are live sessions in?

Live individual sessions are currently delivered in Russian. The website has written materials in Russian and English; an English website does not mean that live training is available in English.

Automation

Scripts, tools and recurring production

16Can my workflow be automated?

When a process contains repetitive actions, we start by breaking them into clear steps. Options may include templates, macros, scripts, naming rules, timeline structures or dedicated tools. An example task, application versions, sample inputs and the expected output are needed to assess what is feasible.

17Where can I find Resolve tools and templates?

The tools catalog covers subtitles, censorship and other DaVinci Resolve tasks, including color work. Each tool page explains its capabilities, requirements and availability. Custom title templates, Fusion compositions, presets and prepared project structures can also be discussed for your workflow.

18Can we set up recurring channel production?

Yes. For a recurring format, we can agree on project structure, visual style, feedback rules, export versions and repeated editing actions. The exact role is defined separately: editing, graphics, thumbnails, descriptions, chapters and publishing preparation can be part of the agreed process.

AI & development

Practical assistance and project status

19What does AI do, and who checks the result?

AI can assist with footage analysis, transcription, subtitles, structure preparation, visual assets and repeated operations. In this workflow, tools handle some preparation while meaning, editorial decisions and final quality remain human-reviewed. Appropriate tasks and the level of automation are chosen for each project.

20What is Lora AI, and what stage is it at?

Lora AI is an in-house platform connecting AI tools, material analysis and workflow automation, including an AI editor for DaVinci Resolve. Its current status is working engines in active development. The project's current description is the reference for the readiness and availability of individual features; it is not a promise of fully autonomous production without human review.

21Can AI fit into an existing production process?

We start by examining repeated tasks and constraints: what material comes in, where time is lost, what the output should be and who approves it. We then identify where AI, scripts or conventional templates are useful. The integration scope and capabilities are agreed after reviewing the specific process.

22What is Motion Engine?

Motion Engine is an in-house development project for building graphics and animation programmatically, with a focus on repeatable scenes, parameters and production automation. It is a separate project in development. The suitability and availability of a specific feature are assessed for the task rather than assumed for every commission.
