Version 9 of a 2-version deal
Re-edits are the most expensive revisions in any creative field — hours of timeline work per "small note". Unpaid, they erase the project’s profit.
Rixio for video producers: cuts counted, re-edits paid
"Love it! Small notes: different music, new VO, lose the middle section, and can my cousin be in it?" Version 9 of a two-revision edit is where video margins die. Rixio counts cuts against a signed allowance and prices everything beyond it — before you re-open the timeline.
Videographers, editors, animation studios and production companies use Rixio to keep post-production rounds finite and paid.
What's quietly costing video producers money
Notes that arrive in pieces
Monday’s notes, Wednesday’s notes, the CEO’s Friday-night notes. Each partial batch restarts the edit and the argument about what round you’re on.
Deliverables multiplying quietly
The deal was one hero video. Now it’s also five verticals, three cutdowns and a square version "since you have the footage".
How Rixio fixes it for video producers
Revision rounds, defined and counted
"Two rounds of consolidated notes" is in the signed agreement. Batch three — or notes after picture-lock — trigger a priced change order automatically.
New formats = new scope
Cutdowns, verticals and extra versions become change orders with per-deliverable pricing. Signed before rendering, not negotiated after.
Milestones that gate payment
Treatment → rough cut → fine cut → final delivery. Each gate needs a signature and releases a payment. Final files ship when the final invoice clears.
Approvals clients actually complete
Clients approve cuts and sign change orders from a guest link — no accounts, no portals to learn, no excuses.
Questions video producers ask us
How do video producers limit revision rounds?
The standard that protects margins is "consolidated notes per round" with a fixed number of rounds in a signed agreement — plus a formal paid process for anything beyond. Rixio enforces it automatically: rounds are counted against the signed allowance, and the batch that exceeds it becomes a priced change order the client signs before the edit reopens.
Can I charge for extra deliverables like cutdowns and verticals?
Yes — and you should. In Rixio, additional formats beyond the signed deliverable list become change orders with your per-deliverable price. The client signs, then you render. "Since you already have the footage" stops being an argument.
How does Rixio handle video approval milestones?
Projects are split into phases — for example treatment, rough cut, fine cut, final delivery. The client approves each phase with a typed-name signature, and payments are gated to those approvals, so post-production is financed as you go rather than on a moving final deadline.
Is Rixio suitable for production companies with teams?
Yes. Production companies use the Studio plan or lifetime license for up to 25 seats — editors, producers and account leads get role-based access, per-project assignments, and an internal dashboard, while clients see only their calm, professional portal.
