OPTION 1 - $45/hour to edit (reduced from $85/hour regular rate)
-You provide all of the video footage of the athlete and we’ll edit your video. Each video will be edited to suit your specific needs, but here are elements that are typically included and sample lengths (which will vary):
- Information Section – personal and coaches info, accomplishments – 45-60 sec.
- Introduction Athlete briefly introduces self on camera – 15-30 seconds.
- Game Highlights (an arrow highlights the featured athlete periodically) – 7-10 minutes
- Skills Section (from a practice and/or selects taken from game footage) - 3 minutes
- Unedited half game with arrow pointed at athlete at beginning of each point - 20 min.
Unique Audio & Video Creations will edit the footage you provide. The specific video highlights you would like to include should be clearly identified and their exact locations on the tapes stated, either by time code numbers if the tapes were videotaped professionally or by setting your counter to 0 min. 0 sec. at the beginning of each tape. See below for hints on identifying the shots you would like to include. Once the footage has been loaded into the editing system, the amount of time it takes to edit the video depends mainly upon the length you would like the final video to be. Most, but not all, 5-15 minute videos can be edited in 12 hours or less.
Also, many coaches like to see the athlete in action with footage that is unedited. However, sometimes they have difficulty distinguishing you from the numerous other players on the field, especially when the game has been videotaped in a wide shot. If you would like to include a full or half game (the length depends upon the sport) in which the featured athlete is highlighted by an arrow each time he or she is seen, or is highlighted at the beginning of each point, it usually takes an additional 3-5 hours of editing time.
To summarize, here is a Sample breakdown of cost for a video in which you have provided a detailed shot list of the shots you would like to include.
- Loading Footage into the editing system 1 hour - $ 55Editing the video
- 8 hours - $360
- Adding arrows to an unedited half game 4 hours - $220
- Total cost (which includes 2 copies) - $635 Additional copies are $12 each. $10 each if you would like more than 10 copies.
Hints for Identifying Selected Shots
For footage you provide, the specific video highlights you would like to include should be clearly identified and their exact locations on the tapes stated, either by time code numbers if the tapes were videotaped professionally or by setting your counter to 0 min. 0 sec. at the beginning of each tape.
Here is an example of how to identify the shots you would like to include:
- Tape Name
- Time In
- Time Out
- Shot Description
- Tape1 Game vs. New Hanover
- 15 min. 15 sec.
- 15min. 25 sec.
- Dribbles, then passes
- Tape3 Game vs. Hoggard
- 1 min 5 sec.
- 1 min. 20 sec.
- Scores goal
By making a shot list in this manner, it will save the editor time because he or she is then able to fast forward to the shots that are to be used and not have to watch all of the footage you send. This can save hours of time which therefore keeps the cost lower for you. For example, if you provide 5 hours of videotape with 15 minutes of selects clearly noted, it will take approximately an hour for the editor to get everything loaded into the computer editing system. However, if the editor has to watch 5 hours of footage and decide which highlights are the best, then it will take at least 5 hours or more to watch the tapes and then another hour to load them into the computer. If your Camera or VCR does not have a counter, then if at all possible, it is helpful for you to fast forward through the tapes with the editor in the editing room in order to make the selections and this to will help speed up the editing process. This method will save some time and money, as well.
OPTION 2 - $1,000Note: If you would also like to include an unedited full or half game (depends upon the sport) that has the athlete highlighted by an arrow each time he or she is seen, it usually takes an additional 3 hours of editing time, which is $165 extra.
- Note: Please remember we will also add a 7.375% sales tax to all sales.
- Videotape one game. If desired, videotape pre or post game interviews with the athlete and/or coach, as well. (2-3 hour timeframe)
- Videotape one practice (can be substituted with a second game)(2-3 hour timeframe) Focus more on specific skills.
- Edit a 5-15 minute video of the athlete. The video will be edited together in a manner that you want. (Approximately 10 hours of editing time)
- Any additional games that you may want are an extra $300 for us to videotape.
