Julius's Staffify trial cut.
Every editor we present has to clear a real, paid trial edit on real footage. Here's the cut Julius turned in, tracked at 6 hours of edit time on Premiere Pro + After Effects. You are watching exactly what we watched before deciding he was ready to present to clients.
For this trial project, I combined speed ramps using both After Effects and Premiere Pro, along with multiple AI-powered transitions to create a stronger story flow. Projects that involve heavy AI effects, tracking, and smooth butter-like long speed ramps usually take up to two full working days, depending on the complexity of the shots. Most of these advanced speed ramps are created in After Effects, which is why they require significantly more time compared to standard editing. I also implemented Premiere Pro speed ramps in the night-time sequences. The difference is quite noticeable, and these types of speed ramps can typically be done within a few minutes, making them a faster alternative when appropriate. Overall, this project showcases two editing approaches that highlight different levels of production quality and creative enhancement.Reference brief he was matching →
Pulled straight from his portfolio.
Easier than US in-house. More reliable than overseas freelance.
One editor on your team, working your hours and your style. Vetted before you meet them, billed bi-weekly, with lifetime replacement.
Salary plus payroll taxes, benefits, equipment, and the recruiting it takes to find one. Reliable and predictable, but a lot to carry.
Hourly rate can look cheap, but you eat the hidden cost. Ghosting, late drafts, inconsistent quality, no replacement if they vanish. And you're usually trusting someone you've only ever traded emails with, no intro video, no interview, no real signal on who you handed your footage to.
~$4,900 a month back on their flagship product.
Realtour Pilot's best seller, a $1,000 premium real estate video, was stuck at a 20 to 25% margin. An outside agency took $300 to $350 off every edit. We placed a dedicated Staffify editor who works inside their systems and to their style. Per-edit cost dropped $220 to $270, roughly $4,900 a month back, on the exact service driving their growth.
