Editing and post-production

An hour of editing and mix costs EUR 125 including 19% VAT. Two revision rounds sit in the price. A 24–28 minute show edit is EUR 1280 incl.

Post at Voxlyra means material from this house or clearly named external files in the same formats. We cut interviews, podcast video and talk rounds, mix speech, set supers and — if booked — captions per film minute. The work sits in the control lounge, not on an anonymous network.

Desks that only take takes and cut themselves do not need this service. Desks that want a transmittable length do. The formats guide describes containers and timecode before the first sequence opens.

Review

We lay ISOs and tracks on the timeline and mark the takes the desk wants to keep.

Assembly

Length, order, removing pauses. On talk shows the switcher cut is a starting point, not a dogma.

Mix and supers

Speech above atmosphere. Names, roles, Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg as a location only if wanted.

Revision and delivery

Two rounds in writing. Then a master and an archive copy for 18 months.

Who the edit is for

Desks without an editor on the production day, podcast teams delivering video later, houses that need a 24–28 minute version for a media library. We do not cut advertising packaging or unrelated series unless the files match WAV/ProRes and the rights chain is clear in writing.

Captions cost EUR 18 incl. VAT per film minute, German or English. Automatic speech recognition without correction is not offered.

How we work

One desk contact collects notes. Parallel comments from five channels stretch the rounds. The two rounds count as two bundled replies, not two single sentences.

Colour: restrained, matching the oxblood and parchment rooms. No neon, no third-party channel preset.

What the desk delivers

If the material is not from Voxlyra: originals, not only a link in an expiring packet, plus a list of personality rights. Consents that only cover the session do not cover social cut-downs unless the consent says so — see the usage-rights guide.

Music: only titles the desk can licence, named in writing. Voxlyra does not fetch collecting-society repertoire.

Deadlines, VAT, rights

Short form 4–8 minutes EUR 480 incl. VAT (EUR 403.36 net), often three to five working days after review. Show edit 24–28 minutes EUR 1280 incl. (EUR 1075.63 net), often eight to twelve working days, depending on take volume. Hourly EUR 125 incl. (EUR 105.04 net) for work after the two rounds.

Usage rights in the finished master transfer with payment in full. Raw material stays 18 months in the archive if it was made here.

Questions on this service

Do you edit at the weekend?

Saturday 10:00–16:00 only by appointment. Sunday closed.

Can we sit in during the mix?

Yes, one seat. More people disturb the mix; then written rounds are better.

What happens after two rounds?

Further work runs at EUR 125 incl. VAT per hour.

Do you deliver square for social?

As a separate short booking yes. The show edit stays 16:9 unless agreed otherwise.

Where do the files live?

On the studio machines and the archive drive in the house. Hetzner hosts the public website, not the masters.

Formats: delivery formats. Rights: usage rights. Contract: terms. Booking: contact.

Editing in the house, not on an anonymous cloud

Post sits in the control lounge at Lychener Straße 54. Masters live on studio machines, not on the public website at Hetzner. An hour costs EUR 125 incl. VAT (EUR 105.04 net). Short form 4–8 minutes EUR 480 incl. (EUR 403.36 net), often three to five working days after review. Show edit 24–28 minutes EUR 1280 incl. (EUR 1075.63 net), often eight to twelve working days depending on take volume. Captions in German or English EUR 18 incl. (EUR 15.13 net) per film minute, corrected, not as raw recognition.

Two revision rounds are two bundled replies from one desk contact, not five parallel channels. After the two rounds, further work runs at the hourly rate. Colour stays restrained, matching parchment and sienna; no neon, no third-party channel preset. Music is the desk's to clear by title. Voxlyra does not fetch collecting-society repertoire. Social cut-downs are a separate short booking; the show edit stays 16:9 unless agreed otherwise.

We cut external material only when containers match WAV or ProRes and the rights chain is clear in writing. Consents that only cover the session do not cover social shorts unless the text says so — see the usage-rights guide. Saturday 10:00–16:00 only by appointment, Sunday closed. One seat in the control room is possible; more people disturb the mix.

Deposit 40 percent on packages above EUR 480 incl. B2B 14 days. Archive 18 months for material made here. Usage rights in the finished master after payment in full. We reply to edit requests within two working days. No promise of a particular click or broadcast outcome, only the agreed craft length and mix.
