Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which solution is right for my volume?
Under 20 projects/month, start with ACE or Pixlmob — no commitment needed. At 20–40 projects, MarketU is the most plug-and-play managed option. Over 40 projects or with consistent demand, staffing through Outsource Plug or Hiero Talent becomes more cost-effective per edit.
What's the difference between on-demand editing and staffing?
On-demand (ACE, MarketU, Pixlmob) means you submit files and get back finished edits — no employee relationship. Staffing (Outsource Plug, Hiero Talent) means you hire a dedicated editor at an hourly rate. Staffing is cheaper per edit at scale but requires you to manage the person and provide workflow training.
Do I need to train a staffed editor on real estate editing?
With Hiero Talent, editors are pre-vetted for REM-style real estate content — expect minimal ramp-up. With Outsource Plug, you'll typically spend 1–2 weeks onboarding the editor to your templates, style guide, and delivery preferences. The up-front investment pays off quickly at volume.
Can I use these solutions for non-real estate content?
Yes. MarketU, Hiero Talent, and Outsource Plug can all staff or source editors for short-form social, YouTube, long-form, and brand video content. ACE Video Editing also handles cinematic work like testimonials and brand films. Cliffside Cuts focuses primarily on real estate.
What should I provide to get quality edits?
The more context you give, the better the output. Share a style guide or reference video, a clear shot list or folder structure, your preferred music direction, any branding guidelines (fonts, colors, logo), and a deadline. Editors across all platforms perform significantly better with examples to work from.
How does revision policy typically work?
Most on-demand services like ACE and MarketU include 1–2 rounds of revisions in the project price. Pixlmob varies by editor — check their listing. For staffed editors, revisions are included in their hours. Setting clear expectations upfront (reference videos, detailed briefs) minimizes revision rounds significantly.
What budget should I plan for if I'm doing 30 edits per month?
At 30 highlight videos/month on ACE or MarketU ($50–75/edit), expect $1,500–$2,250/month. Alternatively, a staffed full-time editor at $10–15/hr full-time (~$1,600–$2,400/month) can handle that volume and more. At this scale, staffing often makes more financial sense if you can manage the relationship.
How does ACRE Partner help me get access to these vendors?
Message your coach in your dedicated ACRE Partner Slack channel. We'll make a personal introduction, share context about your business so the vendor knows exactly what you need, and in many cases negotiate special member pricing that isn't available publicly. We stay involved to make sure the relationship starts well.
