A same-day edit means a 30–45 second finished cut delivered within 60–90 minutes of the material being shot, edited on site rather than back at a studio. In New Jersey it is included on request with our event packages, which run $1,500–$3,000 for a half day and $3,000–$9,000 for a full day with photo and video.
How same-day event video edits are produced on site in New Jersey: timings, what you receive, what it costs, and what the crew needs from you to hit the deadline.
- Same-day sizzle: 30–45 seconds, delivered in 60–90 minutes, edited on site.
- Included on request with event packages — no separate rush fee for a single cut.
- Needs one decision-maker reachable on the day and music, logo and captions agreed in advance.
- Photo selects can land on the same clock for press and social.
- Full recap film follows in about a week; full gallery in about five days.
What a same-day edit is — and is not
A same-day edit is a short, finished, postable cut: the arrival, the speech beat, the product reveal, the room. It is not the recap film. The recap gets colour, sound design, interviews and a proper structure, and it takes about a week. The same-day cut exists so your launch, gala or conference is on social while people still care.
The on-site timeline
| Time | What happens |
|---|---|
| Pre-event | Music, logo, caption style and aspect ratios locked. Nothing creative is decided on the day. |
| During | Footage handed off in batches to the on-site editor; shot list is edit-driven, not coverage-driven. |
| +60 to 90 min | 30–45 second cut delivered, horizontal and vertical, ready to post. |
| Same evening | One revision round if a name, title or logo needs fixing. |
What we need from you to hit it
- One person with approval authority reachable by phone during the event.
- Logo files, brand fonts and caption style, sent before the day.
- Music preference or a licensed track agreed in advance.
- The must-have moments, ranked — if the schedule slips, we protect the top three.
- Where it publishes, so the aspect ratios are right the first time.
Why a New Jersey base helps
Same-day work fails on logistics, not editing. From Jersey City we reach Hoboken, Newark, the Meadowlands, Morristown, New Brunswick and Princeton — and Manhattan — without a travel day, which means early load-in, power and a quiet corner for the edit station are all arranged in advance rather than improvised.
