worth posting.
Splice is a video editing agency for creators and brands. We cut, grade, caption and mix your footage into edits built for TikTok, Reels, Shorts and YouTube — and we hand it back ready to upload.
What Splice is
Splice is a managed editing team. You deal with one point of contact; behind that, your project goes to an editor matched to your style, niche and turnaround. We handle the brief, the scheduling, the revisions and the delivery, so the only thing you have to do is send footage and say what you think of the cut.
- Every platform: TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, long-form YouTube.
- Editors vetted on style, experience, niche and reliability — not just speed.
- Your footage stays inside the team. Nothing is shared or reposted without written permission.
- Ongoing retainers or one-off projects. Both work.
What we take on
Story edit & hooks
Raw footage cut into a paced sequence with an opening that earns the first three seconds and a structure that holds to the end.
Colour grade
One consistent look across every shot, so cuts between cameras, locations and lighting stop drawing attention to themselves.
Captions & on-screen text
Clean, readable subtitles and motion text that carry the video when the sound is off — which is most of the time.
Sound design & mix
Dialogue cleaned up, music and effects balanced against the voice, levels set so nothing clips and nothing fights.
Thumbnails & photo
Thumbnail sets, channel art and photo retouching for the posts that sit around the video.
Repurposing
One long-form video cut down into a batch of shorts, each with its own hook, framing and caption pass.
How a project runs
Brief & quote
You tell us the format, length and turnaround. We send a fixed quote, usually within one business day.
Footage in
Drop your files in a shared folder with any references, brand assets or notes on tone.
First cut
Matched to an editor who works in your style. Rough cut back within 48 hours of the footage landing.
Notes & revisions
You send feedback, we apply it. Revisions are part of the job, not a separate invoice.
Delivery
Graded, mixed, captioned and exported in every format you need — named and organised for upload.
What every edit has to clear
This is the internal checklist every Splice editor works to before a cut is sent to a client. Nothing leaves the team until it passes.
Clean pacing
No dead air, no rushed beats. The cut moves at the speed the story needs.
Good storytelling
A clear opening, a middle that earns attention and an ending that lands.
Smooth transitions
Used where they serve the edit and left out where they'd just be noise.
Proper sound balancing
Voice clear, music underneath it, levels consistent from first frame to last.
Clean subtitles
Accurate, readable, correctly timed, and styled to match the video.
Attention to detail
Framing, spelling, safe zones, export settings. The things people only notice when they're wrong.
We'd rather take a day longer than send something that doesn't clear this list. Quality over rushing, every time.
"Sent over a week of raw footage expecting to wait ages. Had TikToks I could post the same week, and the hooks alone doubled my average watch time."
Tell us what you're making
Creator, brand or studio — send over what you have in mind and we'll come back with a price and a timeline. No call required unless you want one.
Work with us as an editor

About five minutes. Contact details, the role you want, a portfolio or reel link, and your CV. Most fields are optional, so keep it as short as you like.

The ground rules for everyone on the Splice team. Read them before you take on a project.
-
Communication
Reply to project messages within 12 hours. If you're going to be unavailable, tell us as early as you can. Be respectful and professional with everyone.
-
Claiming projects
Only claim a project if you know you can finish it on time. Once it's yours, the deadline is yours. If something changes, tell us immediately.
-
Deadlines
Deadlines are the priority. If you think you'll be late, say so before the deadline — not after.
-
Quality standards
Every edit needs clean pacing, good storytelling, smooth transitions where appropriate, proper sound balancing, clean subtitles where required, and attention to detail. Quality over rushing.
-
Client confidentiality
Don't contact clients directly unless you've been asked to. Don't share client footage, files or information outside the agency. Client work goes in your portfolio only with permission.
-
Revisions
Revisions are part of the process. Take feedback professionally and apply it carefully.
-
Payments
Payments go out after the client has paid the agency. The split is 80% to the editor, 20% to Splice.
-
Availability
Keep your availability role current: Available, Busy or Unavailable.
-
Professionalism
We're building long-term relationships with editors and clients alike. Reliability, communication and quality matter more than speed.
Editor FAQ
The questions that come up most often once you're on the team.
How do I get projects?
When a new project is posted you'll either be assigned to it or be able to claim it, depending on the workflow for that client.
How much do I earn?
Editors receive 80% of each completed project. Splice keeps 20% for client acquisition, communication, management and operations.
When do I get paid?
Payments are sent once the client has paid the agency and the project has been completed and approved. Each payment entry records the client, project, total value, your share, the agency share, the date and the status.
What if I can't finish a project?
Tell us as soon as possible. The earlier we know, the easier it is to reassign it without letting the client down.
Can I contact the client directly?
No. All client communication goes through Splice unless you're specifically asked to speak to them.
Can I use client work in my portfolio?
Only with permission.
What editing software can I use?
Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro or another professional editor — whatever lets you deliver the required quality.
How are editors selected for projects?
We match projects on editing style, experience, niche, availability and previous performance.
What if the client requests revisions?
We'll pass the feedback to you. Complete the revisions as soon as you can.
What happens if I miss deadlines repeatedly?
Consistently missing deadlines or communicating poorly means fewer projects, and eventually removal from the active editor team.
Who do I contact with questions?
Post in the questions channel or tag a Founder or Manager. For anything about a specific payment, message a Founder or Manager directly rather than raising it publicly.
Questions clients ask
What kinds of video do you edit?
Anything made for social: TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and long-form YouTube. We also do thumbnails, channel art and photo retouching so the whole post is covered.
How do I send you my footage?
Whatever you already use — Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer or Frame.io. Send a link to a folder with the raw files, plus any brand assets, music, references or notes on the tone you want.
How long does it take?
A first cut comes back within 48 hours of your footage landing. Long-form and multi-video batches take longer depending on runtime and volume, and we'll always give you a date up front rather than after the fact.
How much does it cost?
It's quoted per project, based on length, complexity and turnaround. Tell us what you need in the form below and you'll have a fixed price, usually within one business day. Ongoing retainers are cheaper per video than one-offs.
How many revisions do I get?
Revisions are part of the process. Send your notes and we'll apply them — we're not looking to nickel-and-dime you over a caption change. Reshoots or a change of direction after the cut is locked are quoted separately.
Who actually edits my video?
An editor from our team, matched to your project on editing style, niche, experience and availability. You still deal with one point of contact at Splice, and we manage the editor, the deadline and the quality check.
What software do you work in?
Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro, depending on the project. If you need the project file or a specific export spec for your own workflow, just say so in the brief.
Is my footage kept private?
Yes. Footage, files and anything you tell us stay inside the agency. Your work is only ever shown in an editor's portfolio or ours with your permission, and we're happy to sign an NDA.
Do you work with brands and other agencies?
Yes — creators, brands, and studios that need overflow editing capacity. White-label work is fine; we'll stay invisible if that's what the arrangement calls for.
What do you need from me to start?
The raw footage, the platform and length you're targeting, a couple of reference videos so we can hit the right style, and any assets — logos, fonts, music, brand colours. That's enough to get a first cut moving.
