FAQs

Frequently asked questions.

Common questions about hiring remote video editors through Zedtreeo.

What types of video can your editors handle?
Short-form (Reels, Shorts, TikTok), long-form and YouTube, ad creative, motion graphics, and corporate or explainer videos. We match an editor to your formats and style.
Which software do they use?
Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, and CapCut, plus Photoshop and Audition for assets and audio. They adapt to your existing project setup.
How do you handle large video files?
Editors work with your preferred cloud workflow — Frame.io, Google Drive, Dropbox, or a shared NAS — with secure, NDA-backed handling of your footage.
How fast can I get a video editor?
Pre-vetted shortlist within 48 hours, onboarding within about a week, and a free 5-day trial where you assess real edits against your brand before committing.
Can one editor keep up with daily social content?
A dedicated mid-level editor working your hours can sustain steady daily short-form output once they've learned your templates. For higher volume, we can add editors as a small pod.
⌬ The economics

Why our rates are lower — and sustainable.

It isn't a discount or a race to the bottom. The gap is a structural macroeconomic one — and our specialists earn competitive local wages while you pay a fraction.

🌍

Wage arbitrage

The same skill is priced very differently by geography. We recruit from India's deep talent pool and place specialists with businesses globally — so you get the skill without the highest-wage market's price tag.

💱

Currency + cost of living

Nominal FX is ~₹95.5/$ — but in purchasing-power terms $1 buys only ~₹22 of goods in India. That ~4× gap is structural and permanent, not a discount that erodes.

🧮

Eliminated overhead

No US benefits load (~30%), office, equipment, software seats, or recruiting fees (15–25% of first-year pay). One transparent rate absorbs the lot.

RoleUS in-house*ZedtreeoYou save
Software developer~$85/hr$8–10/hr~88%
Digital marketer~$42/hr$6–8/hr~83%
Bookkeeper / accountant~$32/hr$6–8/hr~78%
Medical biller / RCM~$32/hr$6–8/hr~78%
Virtual assistant / admin~$30/hr$5–6/hr~82%
Customer support~$26/hr$5–6/hr~79%
Architectural drafter*~$50/hr$18/hr~55%

*US figures = BLS (May 2024) median wage plus ~30–35% benefits & overhead, per hour. Architectural drafting is a specialized production tier priced above the $5–10 base, so its savings run lower. Most roles save 70–90% versus comparable local hires.

Where the savings actually come from

~₹95 exchange rate
~₹22 real buying power
≈4× gap

A dollar trades at ~₹95 — but inside India it buys what ~₹22 buys here. That ~4× gap between the exchange rate and real cost of living is the engine, not a discount— and it's only widened for a decade. Our specialists earn a strong wage for their market; you pay less because of the currency gap and eliminated overhead, never because anyone's underpaid or the work is cut-rate.
