A good editor turns raw footage into videos people watch. A videographer comes to film you, then edits. Either way, you first have to step in front of the camera, brief, review and approve. Dailies Studio removes the step that gets stuck: there is no footage to shoot, since your calls already are footage. The right choice depends on what you already have in stock, and how much time you want to spend on it.

Dailies Studio
For anyone with no footage, no time to shoot any, and calls all week.
Freelancer
For anyone who already shoots video, or wants a bespoke edit that only a human eye does well.
| Criterion | Dailies Studio | Freelancer |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per short | A fixed price a month, whatever the number of calls: the more you have, the less each short costs you. The sum is further down. | A videographer is paid by the day: €470 on average for an experienced director on Malt in France, in October 2026. An editor charges by the day or by the video: each extra short is one more line on the invoice. |
| Your time | None on top: you hold the calls already in your diary. Your shorts are ready a few minutes after you hang up, and all that is left is to choose which ones you post. | You film yourself or get filmed, send the footage, brief, review a first cut, ask for changes, approve. |
| The camera | You are not looking at a lens, you are answering someone. No text to recite, no take to redo. | It stays whole: without footage, an editor has nothing to edit. The camera is still yours to face. |
| Consistency | As long as you have calls, you have shorts, up to eight a call. It depends neither on your motivation nor on a shooting schedule. | It depends on two diaries, yours and theirs. When you are swamped, you stop shooting, and there is nothing left for them to edit. |
| What is on screen | You, answering a real client about a real problem. An answer you did not prepare: that is where you are most credible. | What you shot: most often you, to camera, with a prepared script. Well edited, but recited. |
To be seen on video every week, you either pay someone to make your videos or spend your own time on them. A personal-branding agency charges by the month, for a number of shorts fixed in the contract, and you still have to film. Dailies Studio starts from the calls you already hold: its price does not move, whether your calls give ten shorts or three hundred.
| To get your shorts | Per month | Shorts per month | Per short |
|---|---|---|---|
| A personal-branding agency | ≈ €2,500 | ≈ 10 | ≈ €250 |
| Dailies Studio, if each call gives you just one short | €1,900 | 43 | €45 |
| Dailies Studio, if each call gives you its eight shorts | €1,900 | 346 | €6 |
Worked out for 10 calls a week, about ten hours. Eight shorts a call is a maximum, not a promise: Dailies Studio keeps only the passages that really share value. Prices exclude tax.
Bespoke work. An editor chooses a rhythm, a piece of music, a look, and makes you a video unlike any other. They can work from any source: a talk, a podcast, a shoot, a screen recording. A videographer brings their own camera and eye. Dailies Studio does none of that: it only edits the calls it has recorded, in the caption style you picked, and only cuts vertical shorts from them.
An editor starts from what you send. If you have shot nothing, they have nothing to edit, and the problem remains: finding the time and the wish to film yourself. Dailies Studio starts from your calls: the material already exists, it renews itself every week, and you have nothing to send anyone.
With a freelancer, someone has to watch hours of video to find the thirty seconds worth a short: you, or them, at the cost of their time. Dailies Studio reads every call in full and keeps up to eight passages that really share value. You look at what it proposes and keep what you like.
Between sending the footage and approving the video, days go by, and more when your freelancer has other clients to serve. Dailies Studio shorts are ready a few minutes after you hang up: you can post the same day what you said that morning.
An author’s edit, a long video, a look unique to each video, work on footage you already have: for all of that, a freelancer is the right choice. Dailies Studio only handles calls held in Chrome on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom, in French or in English.
For shorts cut from your calls, yes: it records, picks the passages, reframes, cuts the silences and captions. For everything else, no: a long video, a bespoke edit or footage shot elsewhere remain an editor’s job.
No. Dailies Studio only works on the calls it records itself, in Chrome. If you already have videos to edit, that is an editor’s trade.
You choose its caption style, and when a short does not suit you, you say why: Dailies Studio takes it into account for your next calls. There is no editing timeline: you like a short and plan it, or you leave it.
Up to eight, 30 to 90 seconds each. That is a maximum, not a promise: Dailies Studio only keeps the passages that really share value, and not every call holds eight of them.
Thirty minutes with us to set Dailies Studio up. Then hold your next call as usual, and watch its shorts a few minutes after you hang up.
Book a callThe director’s day rate comes from Malt’s rate barometer, read on 7 October 2026: the average of the experienced profiles listed on the platform, in France. It is a French market figure and changes from one month to the next. Malt is a trademark of its owner, with no link to Dailies Studio.
