Videography and video editing in Malaysia

Updated 31 October 2026

In Malaysia, a short video edit is often quoted from about RM 50 per video, a freelance editor charges from around RM 120 an hour, and a one-day event shoot with editing runs roughly RM 3,000 to RM 8,000. These are approximate figures from sellers' websites, October 2026. To get a price for your own project, describe it in one request on BlaBlaPrice.

Rules and what to check before you book

The searches did not find a licence that a freelance videographer must hold in Malaysia, so the checks that matter are practical. Ask for a portfolio of similar work and ask whether the price covers editing, colour grading and background music. Editing quotes are often made per hour, so ask how many hours the quote assumes.

Season and weather

Malaysia is tropical: it is hot all year, with a wet and a dry season instead of winter and summer. Afternoon rain can stop an outdoor shoot at short notice, so plan outdoor scenes for the morning and keep an indoor location as a backup for events and product scenes.

How the work is priced and delivered

Prices are quoted per finished video, per hour of editing or per day of filming. Sellers usually ask for the length of the final film in minutes and the number of hours on site. If the crew travels between Kuala Lumpur, George Town, Johor Bahru, Ipoh or Shah Alam, the travel may be part of the quote, so give the exact location. Say which file format and length you need, for example a 60-second vertical clip for social media.

What to put in your request

Describe what to film, the date and how long the filming should take, and the location. List the deliverables: how many videos, their length, and whether you need editing only or filming too. Mention any setup or lighting you expect, the delivery deadline and your budget. The more of these details you give, the closer the first offers will be.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the project in your own words in the chat and add a photo if you have one. The AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Malaysia, and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own offer, price and terms. Your contacts stay hidden until you decide to share them.
