Videography and video editing: what it costs in South Africa

Video editing in South Africa is usually quoted by the hour or by the day: about R 350 to R 600 an hour for an editor, and R 2,500 to R 4,500 for a full day. Filming costs more, since one videographer with basic equipment is listed at R 3,500 to R 8,000 a day. The quickest way to current quotes for your shoot is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Filming and what drives the price

The size of the crew and the number of hours matter most. A single shooter at an event often covers the whole day and delivers an edited video afterwards. A small corporate crew costs much more per day, and a full production, with pre-production, crew and equipment, is quoted anywhere from R 15,000 to R 150,000 excluding VAT. Some quotes exclude the 15% VAT, so check whether the price includes it.

Rights and deliverables

The sources give no licence for videographers, so the important checks are in the agreement. Ask who owns the footage, whether you get the raw files as well as the edit, how many revisions are included, and whether any music used in the edit is licensed for your use. Written terms prevent most disputes.

Season: December to February

Summer, December to February, is the busy period for year-end functions, weddings and product launches, and the long daylight suits outdoor filming. Book filming dates early, in November or early December. Editing can follow the shoot, so set a delivery deadline in your request so the editor can plan.

How it is bought here

Editing is usually done remotely, so the editor does not need to be in your city. Filming between Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and Gqeberha needs travel agreed in advance. Prices are quoted per hour, per day or per package, so state the filming duration in hours and the deliverables, such as a 60-second cut or a full recording.

Describe the shoot in your own words in a BlaBlaPrice chat, add a photo of the location if you have one, and BlaBlaPrice's AI asks for missing details such as the date and filming duration. It then checks local price lists in South Africa. Videographers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply with their price and terms, and your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them.
