Why a Professional Video Editor Matters
You’re handling the video editing yourself, and maybe you’re great at it. The thing is, unless your job is being a video editor and you are your only paying client, chances are you’re holding yourself back by handling it yourself.
When I meet a business owner SLASH video editor, here’s what I see:
Mounting Opportunity Costs
Every hour spent syncing audio, rendering, and mixing sound is an hour you don't spend on high-value tasks: strategizing, creating new content, or engaging with your customers. Your time is your biggest asset, and you're spending it on technical debt.
An Execution Gap
You have game-changing ideas, but the time commitment required to execute dynamic subtitles, intricate B-roll placement, or complex motion graphics keeps them locked in your "drafts" folder. Your best concepts die before they ever have a chance to see their first double-tap.
A Potential Partnership
The Clever Catalyst is designed to eliminate this constraint. We take the technical burden and transform your footage into a professional, high-impact asset, allowing you to reclaim your time and focus 100% on scaling your vision. Stop editing, start scaling.

The Process:
From Footage to Finish
Step 1: The Strategic Brief
Submit your raw files, existing style guides, and project goals via our secure, streamlined platform. This is where we define the why behind the edit and the measurable result we’re aiming for.
Step 2: The First Cut
Our editors apply the Catalyst Framework, focusing on narrative flow, pacing, and strategic visual hooks. We deliver a draft that is conceptually sound and ready for your initial review.
Step 3: Refine & Polish
You receive the draft for feedback. We apply revisions, complete final color correction, and master the audio to professional broadcast standards.
Step 4: Launch Ready
You receive the final video file(s) and any necessary assets, optimized and ready for immediate deployment across your chosen platforms.
How much does it cost to hire Clever Catalyst as your business’s dedicated video editor?
We are a build-your-own-adventure kind of company, and we strive to ensure you’re only ever paying for what you need. Therefore, all of our video editing work is handled at an hourly rate of $55/hour.
If your video only takes 20 minutes to complete, then you only get billed for ⅓ of that $55. If you need 3 hours of editing, it will cost $55 times 3, which is $165.
