Portfolio Sites, Review Portals and Retainer Billing for Video Editors

Mythex lets a video editor build a portfolio sorted by the kind of editing clients hire for, a review portal where feedback is left against a specific version with timestamps, quotes priced from raw footage as well as finished length, and invoices that bill extra revision rounds. Describe how you work and publish it.

What a video editor needs from software

A project arrives as a brief and a few hundred gigabytes on a transfer link. The editing is the easy part to plan. The time disappears in feedback: notes by email, timestamps in a chat app, a voice memo from the producer, and a 'small change' that is really round four. YouTube creators and agencies want monthly retainers with a set number of videos, which means tracking how much of the month has been used. Editors keep all of this in a spreadsheet and their inbox. Useful software ties each project to its versions, its rounds, its feedback and its delivery files.

Timestamped feedback against a specific version
Included rounds stated, extra rounds billable
Quotes from raw footage volume and finished length

Client brand assets, fonts and music licences stored per project

What you can build for video editors

One place for every round of notes

Each project shows the current version, which round it is and the delivery date. The client leaves notes against that version with a timecode, so 'make the logo bigger at 01:42' is attached to v3, not lost in a chat. Final deliverables in each format are downloadable, and the client's logos, fonts and licensed tracks live with the project.

Build a client review portal for my video editing business. Each project has versions (v1, v2, v3) with an embedded video link, a round counter against the included rounds, and a feedback list where clients add notes with a timecode against a specific version. Clients download final files in each format and upload brand assets. Each client sees only their own projects.

A portfolio sorted by the work clients hire

Clients hire for one kind of edit. Separate YouTube long-form, commercials, documentary and vertical social clips, and show before-and-after grading. Say which software and delivery formats you use, your turnaround and included rounds, and how to send footage.

Make a portfolio website for a video editor with work sorted into YouTube, commercials, documentary and short-form social, a before-and-after colour grading section, a page on my editing software, delivery formats, turnaround and included revision rounds, how to send footage, and an enquiry form.

Quotes that count the raw footage

Ten minutes cut from an hour of footage is a different job from ten minutes cut from ten hours. Price from finished length, raw footage volume and complexity, with grading, motion graphics and captions as add-ons, included rounds and turnaround stated, and a rush surcharge.

Build a quote app for my video editing work. Price from finished length, hours of raw footage and complexity level, with optional colour grading, motion graphics and captions, two included revision rounds, standard or rush turnaround with a surcharge, and a 50% deposit.

Half up front, half on delivery, extras billed

Invoice a deposit when the project starts and the balance on delivery. Extra rounds beyond the agreed number are added at a set rate, stock footage or music bought for the client passes through as its own line, and retainers recur monthly.

Create an invoicing app for a video editor with a 50% deposit and balance on delivery per project, extra revision rounds billed at my set rate, pass-through lines for stock footage and music, and recurring monthly retainer invoices.

Discovery calls that arrive prepared

Ask for project type, deadline and approximate footage length before the call, show slots in the client's own time zone, and offer start dates rather than just meeting times.

Make a booking page for discovery calls for my video editing business. The form asks for project type, deadline, footage length and platform, shows times in the visitor's time zone, and lists my next available project start dates.

A YouTube retainer page in uploads per week

Creators think in uploads. A page with monthly packages by number and length of videos, turnaround and a sample footage upload converts better than an hourly rate.

Build a landing page offering monthly YouTube editing packages: 4, 8 or 12 videos a month with a length limit, turnaround per video, included rounds, and a form asking for channel link and sample footage.

Write the round limit down

Clients respect a limit that was on the quote from the start. Put the included rounds on every quote, show the current round number in the portal, and when a client requests round three of two, the portal can say so and add the agreed charge. Track rounds per client on a dashboard; some reliably need twice as many, which is a pricing decision, not a personality clash.

Footage stays where it is

Raw footage of hundreds of gigabytes is better left on your transfer service or drive. The portal stores the link, the versions as review links or compressed files, and the final deliverables. Mythex projects include file storage paid from Cloud credits, so keep large raw media out of it.

Questions

Can clients leave timestamped feedback on my edits?

Yes. Ask for notes with a timecode field attached to a specific version, and the portal lists them by version so you can see when each change was asked for.

Can I upload large video files?

Mythex projects include file storage paid from Cloud credits, which suits review copies and final deliverables. For raw footage, store a link to your transfer service or drive.

Can I bill YouTube creators a monthly retainer?

Yes. Ask for recurring invoices with an allowance of videos per month and a usage count, and connect a payment provider on your own account for card payments.

Do I need to code?

No. You describe the app and change it by chatting. The code is there if you want it, editable on Pro.

Is it free?

The Free plan needs no credit card and gives daily credits, enough to build and publish a first version. Pro is $25/month and adds a custom domain.
