Direct answer
How does a promotional video actually help an SMB?

A well-made promo video lifts landing-page conversion by 30–80%, doubles average time-on-page, and gives you 12+ months of paid-ad creative from one shoot. Inkgility runs script, shoot or animation, edit and multi-format export — you brief once and walk away with a 60-second brand film plus 6–10 social cuts you can run across YouTube, Reels, TikTok and paid placements without re-shooting.

TL;DR

Inkgility makes brand video easy: one brief, one senior team, every format your channels need — shipped in days, not months.

  • Three tiers, transparent pricing — Spotlight $1,800 (single 30-sec spot), Series $4,800 (5-spot pack), Campaign $9,800+ (multi-format).
  • Senior production team — director, DP and editor with 10+ years each; no juniors learning on your dime.
  • Multi-format by default — every shoot exports 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5 cuts so one production fuels every channel.
  • 7–14 day turnaround — shoot week one, deliver week two for most Spotlight and Series projects.
  • Full ownership, licensed music, unlimited revisions until approved — every file, every project, yours forever.

06 / FAQ
Common Questions

Promotional video, answered

How long does a promotional video take to produce?

Most Inkgility brand videos ship in 7 to 14 business days from kickoff. A 30-second Spotlight spot lands in ~7 days; a 5-spot Series package runs 10–14 days; full multi-format Campaign timelines are scoped at brief but typically deliver in 3–4 weeks.

Who owns the footage and the final video files?

You do — every project ships with full commercial ownership of the final cuts, raw footage, source project files (Premiere, After Effects, DaVinci) and any custom motion assets. We keep nothing locked behind our editor. If you cancel mid-project, you still walk away with everything produced to that point.

Is the music in my video licensed for commercial use?

Yes. Every track is fully cleared for commercial use across web, social, paid advertising and broadcast. We source from licensed catalogs (Musicbed, Artlist, Soundstripe) and the license certificate ships with delivery. Original score commissioning is available on Campaign tier on request.

Do you do live-action, animation, or both?

Both, in-house. We crew live-action shoots in 12+ US metros (LA, NYC, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, Boston, Phoenix and more). Our motion team handles 2D animation, kinetic typography, motion graphics and explainer animation. Many projects blend both — live-action B-roll cut against animated overlays and lower-thirds.

Do you write the script?

Yes — scripting and treatment are included in every tier. We interview you, draft the script, and refine until it lands. You only ever need to bring the idea, not the words. If you already have a script, we'll polish it; if you don't, we'll write it from scratch off a 30-minute call.

How many revisions are included?

All tiers include unlimited revisions until approval. Two formal review rounds are scheduled (rough cut + fine cut), but anything still off after that is fixed at no charge until you sign off. We don't believe in "revision capped" video — what good is a video you don't actually want to share?

Are captions and accessibility included?

Yes — every deliverable includes burned-in captions (for social autoplay) and a separate SRT file (for YouTube and web players). We can also provide audio descriptions on request for WCAG 2.2 AA-compliant builds and broadcast-style closed-caption files (SCC, MCC) for paid-ad placements that require them.

How do we get started?

Pick a tier and fill in the 6-question brief (takes about 4 minutes). A senior video producer schedules a 30-minute discovery call within one business day. Brief locked the same week, shoot or animation block scheduled in the next week. You can also book a free 15-minute scoping call first if you're not sure which tier fits.


Ready when you are

Let's make something worth sharing.

Pick a tier, fill in a 4-minute brief, and a senior producer is in your inbox within one business day. Most projects are filming by the end of next week.
