How it works

Six steps. No surprise invoices.

You read this in under a minute. The job runs the same way every time.

  1. 01

    Send it in

    Upload footage or paste a transfer link. Describe the job, the length and where it is going.

  2. 02

    Free estimate

    You see a rough range straight away. A senior editor confirms it, usually within a working day.

  3. 03

    Prepay hours

    Pick a pack of hours, at least enough to start the job. Work stops when they run out, so the bill never runs past what you approved.

  4. 04

    Talk in the project

    Every message, estimate, payment and hour logged is kept in one thread. No lost emails.

  5. 05

    Review in the browser

    Each version plays right here. Pause, leave a note pinned to the frame, approve or ask for changes.

  6. 06

    Keep it or clear it

    When the hours are used, top up, keep everything with an archive subscription, or let the files go and start fresh later.

Estimated editing time

Start this project

Preliminary. Your confirmed estimate arrives in the project, usually within a working day.

Prepaid hours

Buy the hours. Watch them count down.

Your estimate tells you the smallest pack that gets the job started. Every quarter hour the editor logs shows up in your project with what it was for.

Starter5hrs$475$95 per hour
Standard10hrs$900$90 per hour
Production20hrs$1,700$85 per hour
Studio40hrs$3,200$80 per hour

Hours are logged in quarter-hour steps. Top up any time.

Review and delivery

Every cut, pinned to the frame.

No more “at about the one minute mark” emails. Notes land on the exact frame, and the editor marks them resolved in the next version.

Who cuts it

A senior editor and an editing agent.

DWIM Logic pairs thirty years of production and post with an AI editing agent that works in DaVinci Resolve. The agent reads your brief, the full message thread and your notes, then cuts and posts the version back to your project. A senior producer at DWIM Logic sets the direction and answers for the result.

That is how the turnaround stays fast and the hours stay low, without the cut looking like nobody finished it.

When the hours run out

Keep everything, or start clean.

Simple storage rules, written down before you pay.

Archive subscription

One subscription keeps it all

For $19 a month per project, the project files, every render and the final deliverables stay stored for as long as the subscription is active. Cancel any time.

Source footage

Cleared after 30 days unused

Your original footage is removed once it has not been used for 30 days, with or without an archive. You get a reminder first, and you still have your own copy.

No subscription

Files go, the record stays

If the hours are used and you decline the archive, project files are removed after a short download window. The message log and hour ledger stay, and you can start a new project any time.

Need more work

Top up and carry on

Buy another pack of hours and the project picks up where it left off, with every version and note still in place.

Session mode

Supervised or unsupervised, your call.

Both are included with any hour pack at the same rate. Supervised costs nothing extra, and hours burn the same either way. Delivered as a DaVinci Resolve project or XML, plus final renders.

Unsupervised

We cut, you review

We edit on our own and post rendered versions to your project. You leave timestamped notes right on the video, and we work through them.

Supervised

Watch the timeline get built

Book a live session. Invite DWIM Logic into your shared Blackmagic Cloud / DaVinci Resolve project library, or join a screen-share link we send, and direct the edit in real time.

Same price

No premium for live

Session time comes out of the same prepaid hours at the same rate. The editor logs it in your ledger like any other work.

Switch any time

Mix both on one job

Start async and book a live session for the final grade, or the other way round. Pick a mode when you start, change it whenever you like.

Questions

Before you send footage.

What do I get at the end?

Final renders are always included, to the spec you set (resolution, frame rate, captions). You also pick the timeline handoff when you start a project: a DaVinci Resolve project (.drp) or an XML timeline. You can change it later, and every version and deliverable shows which format comes with it.

Does a supervised live session cost more?

No. Supervised and unsupervised are included with any hour pack at the same rate. Hours burn the same either way, and every session shows up in your hour ledger.

How does a supervised session work?

Request a session in your project with a few preferred times and your time zone. We confirm one and add the join link: an invite into your Blackmagic Cloud / DaVinci Resolve project library, or a live screen-share. You watch the timeline get built and direct in real time.

Is the estimate really free?

Yes. You describe the job, we reply with a range of hours and the smallest pack that starts it. Nothing is charged until you choose a pack.

What happens if the job needs more hours than I bought?

The editor stops before the balance runs out and tells you in the project thread. You top up, or you take what has been delivered so far.

How big can my files be?

Large uploads go straight to storage. For very big shoots, paste a transfer link from WeTransfer, Frame.io, Dropbox or Google Drive instead.

Who can see my project?

You, and the DWIM Logic team working on it. You sign in with a one-time link sent to your email, and each project is visible only to the client who opened it.
