# 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. [Find a template](https://opusmotion.com/templates) · [See the Pass](https://opusmotion.com/pass) ## 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](https://opusmotion.com/templates/mission-reel.md) - GoPro: [the template](https://opusmotion.com/templates/twist-launch.md) - MasterClass: [the template](https://opusmotion.com/templates/words-behind.md) - Lamborghini: [the template](https://opusmotion.com/templates/supercar-launch.md) 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 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](https://opusmotion.com/c/launches.md): A product, an app or a new version, cut to music. - [Product spotlights](https://opusmotion.com/c/products.md): One feature, one screen, one message. - [Logo reveals](https://opusmotion.com/c/logos.md): Openers for their videos, Reels and decks. - [Kinetic titles](https://opusmotion.com/c/titles.md): 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. [Read section 7 of the Terms](https://opusmotion.com/terms.md) ## 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. ## Start with a free template Paste a brand's website and see their launch video before you write the first message.
