Freelance video editors juggle long-form edits, reels, thumbnails and extra revision rounds. This invoice puts each on its own line, names the video it relates to and adds a UPI QR code so creators and brands can pay in seconds.
Most editors quote per finished video for YouTube and social content, because clients find a fixed price easy to approve. Per-minute pricing suits long-form work where runtimes vary, and hourly billing suits open-ended jobs such as sorting through hours of event footage.
Whichever you choose, put the basis in the description - '14-minute final cut' or 'reels, 30-45 seconds each' - so the client sees what they paid for.
Small editing jobs cause disputes over the same few things. Settle them in the terms:
Only once you're registered. Registration is required when your turnover crosses ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh in some special-category states); after that, editing services are generally taxed at 18%. Until then, invoice without GST, as in this example.
Yes, if they go beyond what you agreed. Include two rounds in your price, and bill further rounds as a separate line so the client can see why the total changed.
