Cost to edit a 4K podcast episode

A fully edited 4K podcast episode costs $150 at G Media in Las Vegas, covering multi-camera switching, color correction, audio leveling, and a complete ready-to-publish master file.

Most creators and businesses stall after recording because processing massive 4K video files, syncing separate audio tracks, and cutting between angles requires significant computing power and hours of timeline work. Offloading post-production keeps release schedules consistent without buying specialized editing hardware or spending ten hours on the timeline for every hour recorded.

If you only do one thing: Standardize your episode template—including your intro, outro, lower-third graphics, and audio targets—before your first edit to keep turnarounds fast and costs predictable.

• Base editing fee: A fully edited 4K podcast episode costs $150 at G Media, while new studio clients can book their first recorded and fully edited session for $149.
• Resolution standards: Editing native 4K footage (3840x2160 pixels) delivers crisp video for YouTube and allows clean 1080p center-crops for vertical short-form clips without losing image quality.
• Multi-camera switching: Post-production syncs separate video tracks and cuts between wide studio shots and individual speaker close-ups across 2 to 4 camera angles based on vocal cues.
• Audio post-production: Raw vocal tracks undergo background noise reduction, equalization, compression, and loudness normalization to meet broadcast targets of -16 LUFS (Loudness Units Full Scale) for stereo distribution.
• Turnaround timeline: Standard post-production workflows typically return a completed multi-camera cut within 3 to 5 business days after footage ingestion.

• Watch out for: Unorganized file handoffs and unstructured multi-hour recordings, which add manual sync time and push editing labor beyond standard 60-to-90-minute project scopes.
• Watch out for: Studios that record in 4K but export only 1080p master files, limiting your ability to reframe or crop high-resolution vertical clips for Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
• Watch out for: Add-on fees for standard assets like lower-third guest name graphics, title cards, or audio balancing; verify what revisions and graphic placements are covered up front.

Submit your raw camera files, separate audio stems, and branding assets to your production team to lock in your project scope and editing schedule.
