Let's be honest you've probably got hours of raw footage sitting on your computer right now. Maybe it's from last week's company event. Or that product demo you filmed three times trying to get it perfect. And every time you think about editing it yourself, you remember the last time you tried. Two hours just to figure out how to add text. Another hour fighting with audio levels. By the end of the weekend, you had a headache and a video that still looked... well, amateur. That's exactly why video editing Folsom businesses choose us exists to save you from that nightmare. Web Artist Pro has been doing professional video editing Folsom companies trust since 2015. We've edited over 500 projects for businesses right here in Sacramento County and all over the country. The clients who find our video editing Folsom services don't want to spend their weekends learning DaVinci Resolve. They want their footage edited by professionals who actually know what they're doing. We're based at 1200 Creekside Dr in Folsom, which means if you're local, you can actually stop by and meet us. Our video editing Folsom office is open for in-person meetings, though honestly, most clients are perfectly happy sending files back and forth online. Works the same either way.
Quick story. When we first started offering video editing Folsom businesses could use, we charged $75/hour. Seemed fair, right? Wrong.
Clients would stress about every single email they sent us. “Is asking about this transition going to add $50 to my bill?” Projects dragged on forever because honestly, when you’re billing hourly, there’s zero incentive to work fast. And here’s the really messed up part our best editor could do in one hour what took a beginner five hours. So the clients who got stuck with slower editors paid MORE for worse work.
We switched to flat-rate pricing two years in. You know exactly what you’re paying before we touch a single frame. We’re motivated to work efficiently without cutting corners. And you can email us questions at 11 PM on a Sunday without worrying about the meter running.
Every person on our video editing services Folsom team is Adobe certified. Sarah, who runs our editing department, spent five years at KCRA 3 editing news packages. Marcus came from Red Bull Media House where he worked on action sports content. Jen grew her own TikTok to over 500K followers before she joined us.
These aren’t 19-year-olds who watched some YouTube tutorials. They’re professionals who’ve been doing this for years. And when Sarah’s on vacation, Marcus can cover her projects because we actually work as a team, not a collection of random freelancers.
Look, we can make anything look pretty. Fancy transitions, color grading that makes your iPhone footage look like it was shot on a RED camera, motion graphics that would make a Hollywood editor jealous. But if your video doesn’t get results, what’s the point?
When Tom Blake (local real estate agent) sends us property videos, we track whether those listings sell faster than the ones without video. Spoiler: they do. 41% faster on average. When we edit for YouTubers like Jessica, we watch the retention graphs. If people are dropping off at the 2-minute mark, we need to know why so we can fix it next time.
That’s what I mean by results-focused video editing services Folsom clients actually appreciate. Pretty is nice. Effective is better.
Sarah Chen - Lead Editor & Creative Director
Sarah's probably going to be the person you talk to first. She's been editing for 12 years, starting back when Final Cut Pro 7 was still the industry standard. (If that means nothing to you, don't worry - just know she's been doing this a while.)
She spent five years at KCRA 3 editing news packages, which taught her how to work fast and tell a story in under two minutes. Then she got tired of editing stories about house fires and city council meetings, so she started working with businesses instead.
She's kind of obsessed with story structure. Like, sometimes-rewatches-movies-just-to-study-the-pacing obsessed. Which sounds weird until you see how it translates to keeping viewers engaged in a three-minute explainer video. She's got her Adobe Certified Expert credential and a film degree from SF State.
Marcus Rodriguez - Senior Motion Graphics Specialist
Marcus handles anything involving motion graphics, visual effects, or color grading. He came from Red Bull Media House where he spent four years making mountain bikers and skateboarders look even cooler than they already were.
He's our DaVinci Resolve color grading specialist, which basically means he's the reason your video doesn't look like it was filmed in a hospital cafeteria. Even if it actually was filmed in a hospital cafeteria. His work on a sports graphics series got an Emmy nomination back in 2023, which he's weirdly modest about but we're going to mention anyway because it's impressive.
Jennifer Park - Social Media Specialist
Jen is 29 and has probably forgotten more about social media algorithms than most marketing agencies will ever know. Before she joined us, she grew her own fitness TikTok account to over 500K followers. Not by buying followers or doing anything sketchy - just by understanding what makes people stop scrolling.
She's TikTok Certified (yes, that's a real thing), and she's been editing specifically for social media platforms for seven years. If you need vertical video for Reels or TikTok, she's the one who'll make sure it doesn't just look like we cropped a horizontal video. Because that looks terrible and everyone can tell.
Our team is a diverse mix of experienced developers, creative designers, marketing wizards, and strategic thinkers. We are constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, using cutting-edge technologies and innovative strategies to deliver solutions that exceed expectations.
Alright, let’s talk about the real process. Not some sanitized corporate version, but how projects actually go:
First, we hop on a call or meet in person if you're in the Folsom area. Usually Sarah handles this. She's going to ask what might seem like too many questions: What's the video for? Who's going to watch it? Where are you posting it? What's your budget?
This isn't us being nosy. It's because "I need a video edited" could mean anything from a 15-second Instagram Reel to a 45-minute training course. The approach is completely different.
And look, sometimes we're not the right fit. If you just need someone to slap your logo on a video and call it a day, there are cheaper options on Fiverr. We're not going to take your money if we can't actually help you.
Within 24 hours, you'll get a proposal in your email. It'll have the exact price (flat rate, remember - no hourly BS), what exactly we're delivering, how long it'll take, and how many rounds of revisions are included. Usually that's 2-3, but we can negotiate if your boss is notoriously picky.
The quote also explains what might change the price. Like if you send us 10 hours of footage, that's going to take longer to sort through than 1 hour. If you need it done in 48 hours instead of a week, there's a rush fee. All of that is spelled out so there are no surprises.
Once you give us the thumbs up, we send you an upload link. Usually through Frame.io or Google Drive, depending on file size. You drop in your footage, any music you want us to use, your logo files, script if you have one, and anything else relevant.
We've gotten everything from pristine 4K footage shot on a $15,000 camera to shaky iPhone videos filmed in portrait mode by accident. We can work with both. Though I'm not going to lie - better source footage makes our job easier and your final product better.
This is where we disappear for a few days and work our magic. From your perspective, this is the boring part where you're just waiting. From our perspective, we're:
How long this takes depends on the project. Simple social media edit? 3-5 days. Full corporate video? More like a week to 10 days. We'll tell you upfront what to expect.
We send you a preview link. It's password protected so your competitors can't see your video before you launch it. You watch it. You probably have notes. That's totally normal - I don't think anyone has ever approved a first cut without at least one "can we try..." request.
Here's the thing though: "I don't like it" isn't helpful feedback. "At 0:47, can we use the other take where I'm smiling?" - that's helpful. We use timestamps for everything, which makes revisions way faster.
We take your feedback and make the changes. Usually this happens 2-3 times before you're totally happy with it. Some people approve on round one. Some need more back-and-forth. Everyone's different, and that's fine.
Once you sign off, we export the final version in whatever format you need. 4K if you want to future-proof it. 1080p for web. Vertical 9:16 for social media. Square for Facebook. Horizontal for YouTube. We can do all of the above if you need different versions for different platforms.
We also keep the project files for 90 days, so if you realize two months later that you actually need that one sentence edited out, we can do that without starting from scratch.
About a month after we deliver, Sarah will usually send a quick email: "Hey, how's the video performing? Getting the results you wanted?"
This isn't a sneaky sales email trying to upsell you (though obviously if you need more videos, we'd love to work together again). It's genuinely us wanting to know if what we created actually worked. If it didn't, we want to understand why so we can do better next time.
Let me share a few actual projects we’ve done. Names and details are real we got permission to share:
CloudSync is a cloud storage company based in Sacramento. Their product is actually pretty cool, but their first attempt at an explainer video was... not. Eight minutes long. Super technical. Even their CEO admitted he got bored watching it.
They came to us because their video completion rate was 22%. Meaning 78% of people who started watching bounced before the end. That's bad.
We rebuilt the whole thing. Cut it down to 5 minutes. Ditched the technical jargon for simple metaphors that normal humans could understand. Added professional voiceover and motion graphics that didn't look like a PowerPoint from 2003.
The new version? 75% completion rate. Demo requests went up 156%. The video got shared 89 times on LinkedIn without them paying for any promotion. David, their CEO, told us later that it became their number one sales tool - their sales team now just sends that video before every first call.
Tom Blake runs a real estate team here in Folsom. Good dude. Sells a lot of homes. But he was frustrated because in 2024, listings without video just don't perform as well. Problem was, traditional video production companies took too long. By the time he got a property video back, the house was already pending.
We set him up on a monthly retainer. His team shoots the footage on their phones and drones. They upload it to us by end of day. We turn it around in 24 hours. Sometimes faster if it's urgent.
Six months in, we sat down and looked at the numbers. Listings with video were selling 41% faster than his photo-only listings. Average sale price was about 8% higher - not because the videos made properties magically worth more, but because they attracted more interested buyers and created more competitive bidding situations.
His team won "Best Digital Marketing" at the Sacramento Realtor Awards in 2025. Tom was nice enough to mention us in his acceptance speech.
Jessica had a fitness YouTube channel that was stuck around 45K subscribers. The content was good, but she was spending 15+ hours every single week editing videos. She was completely burned out and ready to quit.
She reached out asking if we could help. We set her up on a weekly schedule she films Monday through Wednesday, uploads everything to us Thursday morning, and has edited videos back by Monday for the week ahead.
Took us a few weeks to really nail her editing style. She likes fast cuts, upbeat music, specific text treatments. But once we figured it out, it clicked.
Nine months later, her channel hit 280K subscribers. Her average view duration went from 4 minutes 12 seconds to 7 minutes 38 seconds, which for YouTube's algorithm is huge. But more importantly, she got 50+ hours of her life back every month. Hours she used to create better content and actually talk to her community instead of being stuck in editing software.
She told us the investment paid for itself within two months just from increased ad revenue, not even counting sponsorships.
If you need video editing services Folsom for TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn - we've done thousands of them. The key thing to understand is that each platform is different. What kills on TikTok will bomb on LinkedIn. What works on LinkedIn will get ignored on TikTok.
TikTok and Reels need to be vertical (9:16), fast-paced, and hook people in the first 3 seconds. YouTube Shorts are similar but can handle slightly longer setups. LinkedIn wants professional square or vertical videos with captions because 85% of LinkedIn video views happen with sound off.
We don't just make one video and post it everywhere. We edit specifically for how each platform's algorithm actually works. Jen literally spends time every week studying what's working on each platform. It's borderline obsessive, but that's why our clients' videos perform.
Company overviews. Training videos. Internal communications. Recruitment videos. Executive speeches. We've done hundreds of these.
The challenge with corporate videos is they're often boring by nature. Nobody wakes up excited to watch a 10-minute HR training video. But if you work for a company that requires that training, you have to watch it. Our job is making sure you don't fall asleep or check your phone every 30 seconds.
We've worked with healthcare companies, tech startups, law firms, financial advisors, manufacturers. Each industry has its own vibe. Legal firms need to feel trustworthy and serious. Tech can be more casual and modern. Healthcare needs warmth but also professionalism.
YouTube's a whole different game. We handle everything from 10-minute how-to videos to hour-long podcast episodes. Multi-camera setups. B-roll integration. Custom thumbnails. Chapter markers. End screens.
The big thing with YouTube is retention. If viewers are dropping off at the 2-minute mark consistently, that tells us something. Maybe the intro's dragging. Maybe we need a visual punch right there to re-engage them. We pay attention to analytics and adjust our editing based on what's actually working.
Average channels we edit for see their subscriber growth double or triple within six months. Not because we're magicians, but because we understand what keeps people watching.

The Price Conversation Nobody Wants to Have (But We're Having It Anyway). Let's just rip the band-aid off. Here's what our video editing services Folsom cost:
We offer our top-quality services at competitive prices, providing you with great value for your investment.
We offer high-quality services at low prices. We make sure that your money gives you the best return possible.
These are your 15 to 90-second TikToks, Reels, YouTube Shorts Simple cuts, background music, captions, maybe some basic animated text Optimized for one specific platform Takes us 3-5 days turnaround
This is great if you're a content creator who posts regularly and just needs a consistent editing partner who won't flake on you

This is where most of our clients land These are your 3-5 minute corporate videos Professional color grading Motion graphics Custom music selection Formatted for multiple platforms so you can use it everywhere
Think company overview videos, service explainers, training content, marketing videos Takes about a week

Longer videos (5-15 minutes) Multi-camera setups Advanced visual effects Custom animation Professional voiceover coordination This is the tier for when it really matters big presentations, major marketing campaigns, product launches
Takes us 7-10 days usually

Full documentaries. Commercial production. Large campaigns with a bunch of deliverables. These are custom quoted because every project is different.
If you need videos regularly, retainers make way more sense:
Starter Plan - $1,499/month
Growth Plan - $2,999/month
Pro Plan - $5,499/month
Enterprise Plan - Custom Pricing
Length obviously matters. A 10-minute video takes longer than a 2-minute video.
How much footage you send us matters. If you send 10 hours of raw footage, we have to watch all of it to find the good parts. That takes time. One hour of footage? Much faster.
Complexity matters. A simple talking-head interview is straightforward. Multi-camera shoot with motion graphics, B-roll, and fancy effects? That's significantly more work.
How fast you need it matters. Need it in 48 hours instead of a week? That's a rush job, which costs extra because it bumps other projects.
Some things aren't included in base pricing:

(depends on the talent and length)
We're physically in Folsom, California at 1200 Creekside Dr. If you're local to Sacramento County, Placer County, or El Dorado Hills, you can actually come meet us in person. Sarah's usually here weekdays 9-6, Saturdays 10-4.
But honestly? Most of our work happens remotely these days. We've edited videos for clients in LA, San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Miami, Seattle - pretty much everywhere. The workflow's identical whether you're down the street or across the country.
We use Frame.io for file transfer and review. Zoom for calls when we need to actually talk. It all works seamlessly. The only real advantage to being local is you can drop off hard drives if you want, and if there's ever a problem, you can actually show up at our door and yell at us in person. (Please don't yell at us. But you could if you wanted to.)
We could write anything we want in this section, but we'd rather just share what clients have actually told us. These are real quotes from real people who said we could use their names:
Depends what you need Social media edit? Usually 3-5 days Standard corporate video? About a week Big complex production? Could be 2-3 weeks We'll tell you specifically when we quote your project
If you need it faster, we can do rush jobs 24-48 hours is a 50% surcharge 48-72 hours is 25% extra But yeah, we can make it happen if you're in a bind
Yep We work with everything Professional cameras, drones, GoPros, iPhones, Android phones, whatever you've got
Fair warning though better footage gives us more to work with If you shot it on your phone in a dark room with bad audio, we can make it better, but we can't perform miracles Happy to give you tips on shooting better phone footage if you want
All of them. MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, whatever. We can work with it. If you've got some weird proprietary format from a specialty camera, just ask—we can probably handle it.
Sure. We sign NDAs all the time for clients who have unreleased products or confidential info. Just send us your standard agreement and we'll review it.
Nope. We work with everybody. Big companies, small businesses, solo content creators, non-profits, random people who just have a passion project they want edited. If you have footage and need it edited, we can help.
Every package comes with 2-3 rounds of revisions included. You tell us what you want changed, we change it. Simple as that. In 8 years and 500+ projects, I think we've had maybe 5 people who wanted refunds. Usually we can work it out.
Nope We've got licenses to Epidemic Sound and Artgrid, which are both premium stock music libraries Everything we use is properly licensed so you won't get copyright strikes on YouTube or takedown notices on Instagram
If you have specific music you want to use, cool just make sure you actually have the rights to it Can't tell you how many times clients have asked us to use a Taylor Swift song That's not how copyright works
Yeah, we can handle it We'll send you an upload link through Frameio or Google Drive that can handle huge files Might take a while to upload depending on your internet, but that's on your end, not ours
If you're local to Folsom, you can also just drop off a hard drive and we'll copy everything over
If we fail to deliver what was outlined in the proposal, we'll either fix it or refund you. In eight years, we've had fewer than five refund requests out of 500+ projects. Our satisfaction rate is over 99%.
All projects come with 30 days of free minor tweaks Like if you notice a typo or want to change one word, that's fine We keep all the project files for 90 days
If you want major changes or need to add whole new sections, that would be a new project, but we can work something out
Book a 30-minute consultation with Sarah. It's free, no pressure. We'll discuss what you need, answer questions, and figure out if we're a good fit. Not every project makes sense for us, and we'll be honest if that's the case.
Send us an email at info@webartistpro.com with what you need. We'll send back a custom quote within 24 hours. The quote will have exact pricing, timeline, and what's included.
We're at 1200 Creekside Dr in Folsom. Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM. Saturday 10 AM to 4 PM. If you want to meet in person, just call ahead so we can make sure someone's available.
