Pricing, turnaround, file delivery, NDAs, and how payment works through NSave. Don't see your question? Ask us directly.
Pricing & Quotes
We bill per artist-hour at $25/hr (standard) or $20/hr for bulk orders of 5+ shots. Every project gets a fixed per-shot quote up front — no surprise overages.
Yes. Send your reference clip or shot description through the contact form or chat and we will reply with a fixed quote within 1 business day.
Yes, and it is free. We clean up to 5 frames from your own footage at full production quality so you can judge the result before committing to anything. No payment method is required. One free sample per client; further test work is quoted as a paid shot.
Turnaround & Delivery
The free sample comes back within 24 hours. Most single-shot jobs deliver in 24 to 72 hours, and larger projects usually run 2 to 5 business days. Every project gets a written delivery date when the quote is confirmed, rather than an estimate.
Yes — rush turnaround is available with a surcharge depending on shot complexity and runtime. Mention your deadline in the brief and we will quote accordingly.
You will get a private download link through your project dashboard. Assets stay available for 7 days, and we can extend access on request.
Files & Formats
We handle ProRes, DNxHR, H.264/H.265 (MP4/MOV), EXR sequences, and PNG sequences. For very large plates we provide a direct Cloudflare R2 upload link.
Match your input by default — usually ProRes 422 HQ or DNxHR. We can also deliver EXR sequences for compositing pipelines.
We support up to 8K and any frame rate (23.976 through 120 fps). Color space (Rec.709, Log, ACEScg) is preserved end-to-end.
Payment
We invoice through NSave. Once your quote is approved, you receive a secure NSave invoice link in your dashboard and chat — pay by card or bank transfer.
Standard projects: 100% on invoice approval before work starts. Larger packages (10+ shots): 50% upfront, 50% on delivery — let us know if you need split billing.
Yes — see our full refund policy. Short version: if we miss the agreed quality bar and cannot fix it in revisions, you get a refund.
Confidentiality & NDAs
Yes. We sign mutual NDAs within 1 business hour. We also work under your existing NDA template if you prefer.
On encrypted Cloudflare R2 buckets, isolated per project. Assets are auto-deleted 7 days after final delivery unless you request retention.
Never without written permission. Default is full confidentiality.
Revisions & Communication
Every shot includes up to 2 rounds of revisions against the original brief. Additional rounds or scope changes are quoted before any work continues.
Through the live chat inside your project dashboard. Most teams use frame.io–style timecode notes ("at 02:14 the wire still flickers") and we turn revisions around in 24–48 hours.
A senior artist + project lead are assigned to every job. Same humans, start to finish — no account-manager hand-offs.
