Long-form that holds attention.

Long-form YouTube editing at Shinel Studios is priced per video or on a monthly retainer, with current rates on the pricing page rather than hidden behind a call. The honest market picture: under ₹1,000 a video is functional assembly where you are the quality control, ₹1,500 to ₹5,000 buys professional single edits with real niche skill, and ₹5,000 to ₹15,000 a month on retainer buys a dependable pipeline for a weekly channel.

Retention editing means structuring a video around where attention is won and lost, not adding faster cuts. It decides where the hook lands, how long the setup runs before the first payoff, and whether B-roll arrives at the moment attention would otherwise dip. The test of whether a studio really does it is simple: ask to see a retention graph from a channel they edit, before and after they took over.

A standard long-form edit comes back within 5 to 10 days depending on length and complexity, and a retainer schedule is agreed in advance so your upload day never depends on a reply. If something will miss, you hear before the deadline rather than after it.

We cut in Premiere Pro, use After Effects for motion graphics, DaVinci Resolve for colour, and Photoshop and Illustrator for thumbnails and channel art. CapCut and Canva get used where they are genuinely the faster tool. AI is used as an accelerator and we name the tools openly on our AI-safe editing page.

Two revision rounds are included, and what counts as a round is defined in writing before work starts. We do not advertise unlimited revisions, because it is usually either a margin trap the studio renegotiates later or priced in from the start so you pay for rounds you never use.

Yes, you get the project files and layered source assets, always. Editing is not a business you should be locked into, and a studio that holds your back catalogue is keeping you by friction rather than by quality.

Yes. We work from your existing videos as the reference and keep a dedicated editor on your channel so the style does not reset every few uploads. A rotating contractor pool is the usual reason a channel's look drifts, which is why we assign rather than queue.
