Creepless for video production
Video edits look small to clients and take hours in the timeline. Creepless checks every request against what the client pays for, so included work goes ahead and extra work becomes a quote they approve first.
Where the hours go
Common scope creep in video production work.
Typical setup: Per-project or monthly package with a set number of videos, cuts and revision rounds.
Re-edits after picture lock
Additional subtitles, languages or music licensing
Reshoots framed as “small changes”
Example scope rules
Write the line down once.
| Included in the plan | Quoted as extra |
|---|---|
| 1 main edit and 2 revision rounds | Additional cut-downs |
| 16:9 and 9:16 exports | Re-edits after picture lock |
| Burned-in English subtitles | Translation and extra languages |
How requests get checked

“Can we get a vertical version for Instagram?”
Included9:16 export is included.
“Can you make 15s and 30s versions too?”
ExtraAdditional cut-downs are excluded, so they're quoted.
“The music feels off, can we try something else?”
Needs reviewMight fit a revision round, or need new licensing. You decide.
Questions
Scope creep in video production, answered.
What is picture lock and why does it matter for scope?
Picture lock is the point where the edit is signed off. Changes after it usually mean rework across sound, colour and graphics, so most agencies quote them as extras.
How do video agencies price extra edits?
Usually per cut-down or per revision round, agreed up front. That makes each extra request quick to quote.
