Thanks (founder here). No trivializing intended! We have a lot of very talented editors on Videopixie, and we're constantly impressed by their work. We frequently get their input on pricing, and we adjust. Being a marketplace, the theory is that the market will find the fair market price.

What sort of length are the videos generally? Is it up to the client or is there an imposed duration limit?

The customer decides the length. Nearly all of them are between 30 seconds and 5 minutes. The majority are between 1 and 3 minutes. We recommend that customers keep them short, to keep their viewers happy :)

I think shorter video length makes Videopixie an exception to jianshen's concern. These editors aren't really engaging in exceptionally complex editing work, just the equivalent of TV spots.

Local news outlets often have a division of their marketing team commission freelance editors to make commercials for prospective advertisers.

Thanks for your service! I've got a film industry friend who could use the extra work.

Great to hear. I'm all in favor of letting the market decide. :)
