Sound Familiar?
Editing is the only thing
slowing you down.
Editing is eating your whole week
You spend more time in Premiere than in front of a camera. Every hour in the timeline is an hour not spent scripting, filming, or growing — and you feel it every week.
Freelancers keep letting you down
Chicago freelancers juggle agency work, corporate video contracts, and ad production. Your YouTube channel gets treated as a low-priority side project — deprioritised the moment a higher-billing client comes along, and you're back to square one.
Inconsistent uploads are killing your growth
The algorithm rewards consistency. But when editing takes this long, you miss weeks — and every gap costs you momentum, subscribers, and views you'll never get back.
Your Reels and Shorts aren't getting traction
Short-form is a different craft. Hooks, pacing, captions, platform formatting — doing it right takes hours per clip. Doing it wrong means nobody watches past the first three seconds.
Videos go live but never get set up to grow
Great editing isn't enough if the title is weak, the thumbnail doesn't click, and the description has no SEO. You're leaving views and subscribers on the table every single upload.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're exactly who we built this for.

Built for Chicago Creators
Chicago Is the Midwest's Biggest Creator Market. Publish Like It.
Chicago is the third-largest city in the United States and home to one of the most diverse and underserved creator economies in the country. Finance educators, business coaches, real estate investors, food and lifestyle creators, fitness YouTubers, entrepreneurship content creators — Chicago has a deep talent base and an audience that takes content seriously. The city's Midwestern work ethic translates into creators who are disciplined, consistent, and focused on building something real.
Chicago creators face a challenge that doesn't get talked about enough: the city has a massive corporate video and agency industry. Local freelance editors are pulled toward Fortune 500 corporate projects, ad agency contracts, and commercial productions that pay far better than a YouTube channel ever will. The result is an editing market where good editors are either too expensive or too inconsistent — and where your channel ends up at the bottom of someone's priority list every single month.
A flat-rate video editing subscription changes this completely. You get one dedicated editor focused solely on your channel — no agency conflicts, no corporate video schedules, no re-briefing a new person every quarter. Our Chicago creator clients — finance and business YouTubers, real estate educators, lifestyle creators, food and culture channels — typically go from sporadic posting to a consistent weekly schedule within 30 days. In a city with Chicago's ambition and audience size, that consistency compounds fast.
Chicago is one of the most opportunity-rich creator markets in the Midwest. The audience is large, educated, and engaged — and the bar for consistent publishing is lower than in LA or New York, which means creators who show up regularly stand out faster.
Chicago creator insight
Finance, business, real estate, food, and lifestyle content dominate Chicago's creator economy. Chicago's audience is Midwestern in the best way — loyal, engaged, and action-oriented. Creators who publish consistently here build deep community connections that translate into real business results.
Real Creators. Real Results.
Don't take our word for it — hear it from the creators we work with.

"My editor locked into my style within the first few videos, and now my revision notes are almost empty. EditVideo.io lets me put out videos I could not make on my own."
Best fit for creators publishing at least 2 videos per month with an existing audience.

Common Questions
Everything You're Probably Wondering Before You Book
These are the questions we hear most on every discovery call — answered honestly.
Our standard turnaround is 48 hours from the moment you submit your footage — not 48 business hours, 48 actual hours. For Chicago creators on a tight content schedule, that means you shoot Monday and have a finished first draft by Wednesday — regardless of what the weather outside is doing.
Your dedicated account manager keeps you updated throughout, so you're never left wondering where things are at.
"I can literally shoot a video today and within 48 hours get a finished product back." — Rhode Thelemaque, The Black Sales Guy
You get one dedicated editor who works exclusively on your content. We build a style guide for your channel from day one, and your editor studies your previous videos before touching anything new.
"There's been several times where I've had zero edits after the first draft comes back." — Justine Nelson, Debt Free Millennials
You've already seen the portfolio above — real videos across Finance, Coaching, Health, Real Estate, Gaming, Fashion and more. Beyond that, we offer a 14-day money-back guarantee. If you sign up, work with us for two weeks, and genuinely don't feel the quality is there — you get your money back.
No revision limit, no extra charge per round, and no fine print. You request changes through Frame.io and your editor handles them. Revision rounds decrease over time as your editor learns your preferences.
"My editor locked into my style and now my revision notes are almost empty." — Corey Staden, Battery Bound EV
The creators who grow fastest are the ones publishing most consistently. Spencer Johnson went from part-time to full-time YouTube by handing off editing. Corey Staden went from zero to 1,000 subscribers in under 7 weeks. Neither waited until they were "big enough." Short-form from $195/month, long-form from $295/month.
No contract. Cancel anytime. Every plan is month-to-month. Cancel before your next billing date and that's it. We'd rather earn your business every month than hold you hostage.
Credits do not roll over — unused credits expire at the end of each billing cycle. This is what allows us to guarantee consistent quality and turnaround times for every client.
Completely. We work with Chicago creators regularly and location has never been a friction point. You upload footage to a shared Google Drive or Frame.io folder, your dedicated editor gets to work immediately, and you have a finished draft back within 48 hours.
Chicago creators tell us the remote model works better than hiring locally — no local day rates, no editor juggling your project with agency or corporate contracts, no inconsistency. Everything runs on your schedule, whether you're filming in River North, Wicker Park, or Lincoln Park.
You've Seen the Work. You've Heard From the Creators.
