Videography Invoices
Day rates, edits, music, and usage: all on one PDF
Video invoices need room for production, post-production, licensed music, revisions, usage rights, rush turnaround, and travel. Issueable keeps those costs separated so the client can see what each phase covers.

Videography Invoice FAQ
Why Video Invoices Need More Detail
Video production has more cost categories than almost any other creative service. A single invoice can carry shooting fees, edit hours, color, motion graphics, music licensing, talent fees, drone, B-roll, gear rental, and travel, and each line might have its own tax treatment in your state.
Generic invoice tools force many of these costs into one line. Issueable keeps them separate, so when a brand client asks how much was editing, licensing, or rush delivery, the answer is already on the invoice.
Drone pilots, motion designers, and animators bill the same categories with slightly different line items. If you shoot stills alongside video, photography invoices cover the still-media side. Production companies putting together formal proposals before the invoice stage should look at agency quotes instead.
What video invoices need
Production + Post Itemized
Shooting day rate as one line; edit hours, color, and motion graphics as their own. Clients see what each phase costs.
Music Licensing as a Line Item
List licensing fee with source (Musicbed, Soundstripe, Artlist) so the client sees the music spend explicitly.
Revision Caps Built In
Specify 2 rounds standard; additional rounds at your hourly rate. Caps the most common margin leak in video work.
Rush Premium Lines
Call out expedited delivery as a separate line so clients consciously choose speed over saving money.
