Professional video editing at Develop Motions starts at $1,500 per project, including cutting, color, audio cleanup, titles, and sound design. The final quote depends on how much footage there is, how polished the result needs to be, and how many revision rounds you want. You get a custom quote within one business day, before committing to anything.
Custom motion graphics start at $2,500 per project — kinetic typography, animated infographics, overlay panels, and transitions built for your brand rather than pulled from a template library. A full training series with dozens of animated elements is quoted per project; a recent flagship series included 23 custom animated panels and 12 custom transitions.
Develop Motions specializes in exactly this — video editing and motion graphics for fitness and wellness content: instructor training series, workout videos, online courses, and studio marketing. The studio is based in Aurora, Illinois and works remotely with fitness studios, Pilates and yoga businesses, and wellness brands across the United States.
Yes — multi-module course and workshop editing is the studio's core specialty. The flagship project was complete post-production of a nine-module Pilates instructor-training series: editing, motion graphics, five custom animated characters, and full sound design. Course projects start at $1,500 and are quoted by module count and footage volume. See the case study.
Almost all projects are fully remote. The studio is based in Aurora, Illinois, but clients anywhere in the United States work with it the same way: footage is shared through a cloud drive, review cuts come back as streaming links, and feedback happens over email or a call. Location has no effect on quality, price, or turnaround.
Three things: your raw footage (a Google Drive, Dropbox, or similar link works), any brand assets you have (logo, colors, fonts — optional but helpful), and a short description of what the finished video should accomplish. That's enough for a quote and a timeline. You don't need scripts, timestamps, or shot lists unless you already have them.
A single edited video typically takes one to two weeks from footage handoff to final delivery, including a revision round. Larger projects — multi-module courses or animation-heavy videos — are scheduled in phases with delivery dates agreed up front. You'll get a realistic timeline with your quote.
Everything between raw footage and a publish-ready video: story-driven cutting and pacing, color correction and grading, audio cleanup and mixing, titles and lower thirds, sound design with individual effects matched to each visual moment, and delivery in every format you need. Motion graphics and animated elements can be added to any edit.
Yes — original characters designed and rigged from scratch, starting at $3,500. Each comes with expressions, blinking, eye movement, and mouth shapes, and is built to be reused across your whole content library. For one client the studio created five distinct teaching-archetype characters that carry a nine-module training series.
Editing shapes footage that was filmed; motion graphics are created from nothing. Editing means cutting, color, and audio. Motion graphics means designed, animated elements: moving text, animated charts, overlay panels, transitions, and characters. Most professional videos need both, which is why Develop Motions offers them together — editing from $1,500, motion graphics from $2,500.
Yes — ongoing monthly partnerships start at $2,500 per month. That reserves editing and motion graphics capacity every month so your videos never wait in line, and keeps one editor on your brand so every video shares the same visual system. Built for fitness studios, course creators, and brands that publish regularly.
DaVinci Resolve Studio for editing, Blender for 3D and effects, plus a custom-built automation pipeline for motion graphics, sound design, and quality control. You don't need any of these tools as a client — you share footage and review finished cuts in your browser.
