Sell launch videos to brands

A freelancer charges $500 to $5,000 for a 30 to 60 second launch video, and a studio more. With Opus Motion you make that level of video from the brand's own website, export it without a watermark, and the license covers your clients.

An example, not a promise: what you earn depends on the clients you find and the price you agree.

Made with Opus Motion templates

Each of these came out of a template filled with the brand's own public website and material. The same template takes your client's.

• SpaceX: the template
• GoPro: the template
• MasterClass: the template
• Lamborghini: the template

These brands didn't commission or endorse these videos; they show what a template does with a brand's own material.

What a brand pays, and what it costs you

What brands pay

• $500 – $5,000: a freelancer, for a 30 to 60 second launch video
• $1,500 – $15,000: a studio or an agency

What it costs you

• $0: a free template, exported in 1080p with no watermark
• ~$17: a premium template, paid once per export
• $49 a month: the Pass: 15 premium exports every month

An example

Two clients a month at $500 each is $1,000, against $49 for the Pass. A single $500 client covers a whole year of it on the yearly plan ($468).

Four steps, from the first pitch to the invoice

1. Pick brands that are launching. Startups launching on Product Hunt, apps with a new version, a shop with a new product. A launch is a deadline, and a deadline is when a brand pays for video.
2. Make the video before you pitch. Paste the brand's website: the template comes out with its logo, colors and words. Sharpen the texts and add their real screens or photos.
3. Send the video, not a proposal. A finished video in their colors says more than any deck. Offer both formats: 16:9 for the site and YouTube, 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Shorts.
4. Deliver and charge. Export it in 1080p with no watermark and hand over the MP4. Agree on the price and one round of changes before you start.

A first message that works

Short, about them, with the video already made.

Hi {name}, I saw {brand} is launching {product}. I made a 30-second launch video in your colors: {link to the video}. If you like it, it's yours for ${price} in 16:9 and 9:16, with one round of changes.

Videos every brand needs, again and again

• Launch videos: A product, an app or a new version, cut to music.
• Product spotlights: One feature, one screen, one message.
• Logo reveals: Openers for their videos, Reels and decks.
• Kinetic titles: An offer, an announcement or a headline in their colors.

You sell the videos, not the templates

You can:

• Make videos for your clients and charge what you agree with them.
• Let them use the videos anywhere: ads, social media, their website, presentations.
• Edit the exported video further in your own tools.

You can't:

• Resell the templates themselves, their files, graphics or music apart from your video.
• Resell access to Opus Motion, or share one Pass between several people.

Questions

### Can I charge clients for videos I make with Opus Motion? Yes. The license on every export covers commercial use and work for your clients (Terms, section 7). You set your own price.

### Do exports have a watermark? No. Free and premium exports come out clean, in 1080p, with no Opus Motion signature.

### Do I need the Pass? No. Free templates cost nothing and premium ones are paid once per export. The Pass makes sense when you deliver several premium videos a month.

### How much should I charge? Published 2026 price guides put a freelancer's 30 to 60 second launch video at $500 to $5,000, and a studio's at $1,500 and up. Many start lower to win the first clients and raise the price as their portfolio grows.

### Can I use a brand's logo in a sample video? For a pitch to that brand, use its own public material and say it's a proposal. Publish or deliver it only with the client's OK.

### Can I resell the templates? No. You sell the videos you make, not the templates, their files or access to Opus Motion.

### Can I earn by recommending Opus Motion instead? Yes. The affiliate program pays 30% of what the people you bring spend in their first 12 months.
