When a fast-growing fitness brand decided to ramp up its video production, the team assumed the answer was simple: hire two editors and push harder. At first, the math looked convincing. They were producing 18 Instagram Reels, 8 YouTube videos, and 3 promotional edits every month, and the extra hands were supposed to ease the load. But within weeks, the cracks began to show.
Deadlines slipped. Posts went live late. Engagement began to dip, even as the team was spending more on production. The editors burned out under the constant demand, turnarounds slowed, and quality took a hit. The brand wasn’t just running behind schedule—it was running blind. Without a system to predict how many editors were truly needed, every new hire felt like a gamble that might just add more overhead instead of solving the bottleneck.
The problems weren’t just about speed. They were structural. The team had no clear way to calculate the actual number of editors required to meet their production goals. Forecasting turnaround times was guesswork, which meant campaigns often stalled in post-production. Editors were overworked, revisions piled up, and the budget leaked into trial-and-error staffing. The absence of a framework left the team chasing output with no real sense of control.
This is where Razor Post stepped in. What the brand needed wasn’t simply more manpower; it was clarity. That clarity now comes in the form of a Cost Calculator—a tool built to take the uncertainty out of video scaling. In minutes, it can show any team exactly how many editors they need, the best Razor Post package to match their workload, and accurate turnaround forecasts based on their real content volume and complexity.
Scaling video output should never be a matter of blind trial and error. The Cost Calculator was designed to replace uncertainty with data. Instead of over-hiring, over-spending, or overworking their staff, brands can now see precisely what it takes to meet their goals. Enter your monthly video volume, your content types, and your turnaround expectations—and the system generates a tailored cost plan that aligns with your workflow.
No more guesswork. No more burnout. Just a clear path to scale.
For the fitness brand, clarity meant control. By using data to model their true capacity, they could finally plan with confidence. The question was no longer whether hiring another editor would help—it was how to structure their team and workflow for sustainable growth.
And that’s the promise of backend editing done right: a system that transforms chaos into predictable, scalable output.
Razor Post’s Cost Calculator gives you the numbers, the plan, and the peace of mind to scale smoothly—without burnout or bottlenecks.
