For Freelance Videographers

Run a one-person studio
that feels like ten

Your client sees a branded portal, a polished review, a clean invoice, and a final download in one place. You stop paying for five separate tools and stitching them together with email. Free tier covers most early-stage freelancers.

Why freelance video is different

Agencies have ops people. You don't. The tools have to match.

The tool stack adds up fast

Frame.io for review, Dropbox for delivery, QuickBooks for invoicing, HoneyBook or Dubsado for proposals, Trello for tracking. Five subscriptions, five logins, five places where things can fall through. You spend more time stitching tools together than editing.

Presentation closes the next contract

Your portfolio reel got you the meeting. The way you hand off the final cut decides whether they tell their friends. A polished branded portal does more to win the referral than another social post.

Ops overhead grows faster than revenue

Every new client adds invoicing, file management, feedback rounds, and storage to your weekly admin. One tool that handles the whole client-facing flow keeps you editing instead of chasing.

What you get with MyStdio

Your brand, not Dropbox or Frame.io

Free includes full custom branding on every client portal: your logo, your colour, your studio name. The client sees you, not the platform. The same polish a 10-person agency gets, on the free tier.

Video review built in

Clients leave timestamped comments anchored to the exact frame. No "around 0:42 the music" emails. Reviewers comment without creating an account, so onboarding is one shared link.

Quotes and invoices alongside the work

Send a quote, track approvals, send invoices when work delivers. No HoneyBook subscription, no QuickBooks setup just to send a $1,500 invoice. The financial side lives next to the project, not in a separate tool.

Custom domain when you grow (Pro)

Free runs at yourstudio.mystdio.com. Pro lets you add a custom domain like portal.yourstudio.com, so your clients only see your URL. Worth upgrading when you start landing bigger contracts.

Asset library for templates and brand kits

Logos, fonts, motion templates, music cues, contracts, your standard intro and outro: store them in My Assets, reuse them across every project. Per-client documents (their brand kit, brief, reference videos) live in Client Assets.

Free tier built for early-stage freelancers

Up to 20 clients, 10 team members, unlimited projects, 5GB storage, full branding, video review, quotes, invoices. Most freelancers stay free for the first year. Upgrade only when storage or client count outgrows it.

One tool, not five

Stop paying for five subscriptions

The average freelance videographer pays for five overlapping tools to do what one workspace should handle. MyStdio replaces the whole client-facing stack at one flat price.

Set up your freelance workspace

Most freelancers go from signup to first client delivered the same day.

  1. 1

    Brand your portal

    Upload your logo, pick your colour, set your studio name. Free includes full branding on every client portal. Pro adds a custom domain.

  2. 2

    Add clients as companies

    Every client is a company in MyStdio: a brand, a couple, a small business, or yourself. Add them once, attach all future projects to that company.

  3. 3

    Create projects per engagement

    Each shoot, edit, or campaign is a project. Drop in the brief, attach the quote, upload cuts as you go. The client logs in and sees the project, not the folder structure.

  4. 4

    Deliver, invoice, repeat

    Upload the final cut for review, send the invoice when approved, the client downloads the deliverable from the same portal. Then the project sits there in case they come back later.

Freelancer FAQ

No. The Free tier supports up to 20 clients, 10 team members, unlimited projects, and 5GB of storage. Most early-stage freelance videographers stay on Free for the first year or two. You only upgrade when you outgrow it, and Pro is a flat $25 per month with no per-seat traps.
Free is free forever. No credit card. Full branding (logo, colour, studio name) on every client portal. Up to 20 clients, 10 team members, unlimited projects, and 5GB of storage. A small "Powered by MyStdio" badge sits in the portal footer. Upgrade to Pro to remove the badge and unlock custom domains, 1TB storage, and unlimited clients.
Only if you exceed the Free limits. The Free tier supports any number of projects, so a single high-volume client doesn't force an upgrade unless they push you over 20 clients total or 5GB of storage. Pro adds unlimited clients, 1TB of storage, and custom domains like portal.yourstudio.com, which is what most freelancers upgrade for.
Yes. Each client is a company in MyStdio. Their portal only shows projects under their company, never anyone else's. Client manager and client user roles enforce this automatically.
Each engagement is a project under a client company. You can label projects by type, organise them however you like, and use My Assets to store templates that work across types. MyStdio doesn't lock you into a vertical: corporate brand films, wedding highlights, social content, and explainer videos all live in the same workspace.
Use their personal name or 'First Name Last Name Wedding' format. The 'company' record in MyStdio is just the container that holds their projects, so it works for couples, individuals, and any other client type. You can rename it later if they incorporate.
Yes. Create a company for yourself or for your channel, then run YouTube projects there with the same review and asset library you use for client work. The social media scheduler can publish from MyStdio to Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube, with optional AI-assisted captions on pay-as-you-go credits.
