What Edit Crew says about fit
Edit Crew is unusually direct about who it's for. Its site lists the right fit as teams that need edits at least weekly, already have a video process and know how they want videos edited. It says it's not for people who have never outsourced, whose needs are sporadic, or who need scripts written from scratch. That honesty makes the choice easier.
Where Edit Crew is the better choice
- Weekly volume for a team with an existing process.
- Adobe workflows: it says it edits in Premiere Pro, After Effects and Audition and hands over project files.
- Partial edits: its FAQ mentions assemblies, syncing and partial edits.
- Backup editors when your main editor is away.
Where DoneEdit is the better choice
- Occasional videos with no monthly commitment.
- First-time outsourcing, which Edit Crew says isn't its fit.
- Short single-speaker videos at a per-video price.
What DoneEdit is (and isn't)
DoneEdit is a done-for-you editing service run by Vadim Soin. You send one raw talking-head video and get back a finished edit with captions, punch-in zooms, b-roll and music within 48 hours. AI does the repetitive work and a person checks the result. Two revisions are included, and if the second revision still misses, you get a refund. Files are deleted after 30 days.
It's deliberately narrow: one English speaker, up to 10 minutes of raw footage and up to 5 finished minutes. It doesn't edit multi-speaker podcasts or long-form videos. The founding price is $27 per video for the first 20 customers, then $67, with thumbnails for +$10. DoneEdit is new, so we don't publish customer results yet.
Worked example: a solo coach vs a marketing team
- A coach posting two short tips a month: monthly team pricing doesn't make sense; two DoneEdit videos are $54 founding or $134 standard.
- A marketing agency with weekly client videos: a team service like Edit Crew, with project managers and backups, is built for that.
Is your volume high enough for Edit Crew?
Edit Crew's comparison table on its site shows plans of $1,599–$2,499 a month, and it says it isn't meant for people whose editing needs are sporadic. Before you contact them, count the videos you actually published in each of the last three months.
As an illustration only: at $1,599 a month, 8 videos works out to about $200 each, and 4 videos to about $400 each. If you only post a few short talking-head videos a month, those numbers are hard to justify. If you're a production house or in-house team with a steady queue, a dedicated on-demand team may be exactly right.
Using the 14-day guarantee and 1–2 day drafts well
Edit Crew lists first drafts in 1–2 business days and a 14-day satisfaction guarantee. Get the most out of the guarantee window by sending real, varied work in those two weeks, not one easy test: a talking-head piece, something with b-roll and something with graphics. That tells you how they cope with your actual mix.
Keep DoneEdit for the short single-speaker videos that don't need to sit in a team's queue, like founder updates or quick tips. At $27 founding and $67 after that, they're a small line item next to a monthly retainer.
A quick volume check
List every video your team made last quarter, mark which were short single-speaker talking-head pieces, and count the rest. If the rest adds up to a steady weekly queue, Edit Crew's model fits it. The talking-head pieces can go to DoneEdit either way.
Decision checklist
- Do you need edits every week, across a team? Edit Crew.
- Do you need project files to finish edits in-house? Edit Crew.
- Are you an individual with a few short videos? DoneEdit.
Bottom line
Edit Crew is built for businesses with a regular editing workload and an existing video process, such as production houses, brand teams and in-house video departments. DoneEdit is built for people who send one short talking-head video at a time. If your needs are sporadic, Edit Crew's own site suggests it isn't the right fit, and a per-video option makes more sense.
