Frequently asked questions

What is your turnaround?

Usually within 24 hours for a single short-form video, with quick revisions in 2 to 4 hours. Steady throughput is up to around 60 video minutes per day, so a content batch stays on schedule.

Can you sign an NDA?

Yes. NDA and secure handling are available for unreleased campaigns and brand work. Files are handled privately and deleted on request.

Do you follow platform caption guidelines?

Yes. Captions are placed clear of the Like, Share and native-caption UI, timed to a comfortable reading speed of CPS 15 to 17, and exported as SRT, WebVTT or a styled 9:16 burn-in for each platform.

Do you work to accessibility standards?

Yes. Even fast social work is built to WCAG 2.1 AA and ADA expectations for readable, well-timed captions.

What does it cost?

From $2 per minute, with a per-video or monthly package on request. Send a link and your volume and I send an exact quote.

Which languages can you caption and translate?

Native Vietnamese, plus English, Chinese and French, so a short can be captioned and subtitled across those languages from one source.
