Scope | MEDIA GRINDERS

At Media Grinders, we mix speed, precision, and creativity with a touch of our own Special Sauce. Here’s how we work together:

Every project is different — timelines may vary based on complexity, but your Project Manager will keep you informed and outline expectations clearly.
For quick-turn content like reels and social shorts (under 90 seconds), we can often deliver multiple per day, depending on volume.
Most other short-form videos are ready within a single business day.
Longer projects vary: edits under 10 minutes usually take up to two days, while videos up to 20 minutes may require around three.
Projects running 30 minutes can take up to four days, and content approaching an hour may need up to five. But, many long-form projects can be completed within one to three days, depending on length and complexity.
Motion titles and graphics can add to the timeline.

Included Services

Support Material: Licensed music and stock footage .
Signature Edits: Incorporation of The Media Grinders Special Sauce.
Professional Tools: Edited and finished in DaVinci Resolve (Edit, Color, Fairlight), Adobe After Effects, and on request Avid Media Composer.

While we cover a wide range of post-production, the following are outside our standard scope:

Screen recordings or screenshots
External asset sourcing (beyond our available licensed stock libraries)
Advanced or custom animation, complex motion graphics, or compositing (This can be quoted separately for custom projects)
Complex color grading, sound design, or graphic design not tied to editing (This can be quoted separately for custom projects)
Scriptwriting/copywriting from scratch
Live broadcast, IPTV, or studio-specific edits (specialized packages required, quoted separately)
Specific Stock Footage/ Music: If a clip or audio track isn’t available in our paid libraries, you may provide it (with proper licensing).

Footage Size: Raw uploads over 50 GB can slow down processing (we recommend proxies if over 150 GB).
Footage Quality: Low-resolution, unsynced, or poorly shot material (multi-cam without sync, missing coverage, etc.) may require extra time.
Editing Complexity: Advanced captioning, heavy masking, or detailed fine-tuning (like rotoscoping) adds to the timeline.
Instruction Clarity: Vague, incomplete, or constantly changing directions can create delays.
Project Volume: Submitting large amounts of raw material (e.g., 4 hours of footage for a 10-min edit) increases turnaround.
Queue Management: Multiple simultaneous submissions create a queue; tasks are completed in order.

projects move fastest when footage is well-organized, instructions are clear, and special requirements are reasonable
