Send us your raw footage and UGC — we send back ad creative built to convert. Direct response ads, VSLs, AI editing, short-form, and more, cut by an editor who thinks in conversions, not just cuts. No film crews, no shoot days — just faster creative testing for your ad account.
Every format is measured against the same thing: does it move ROAS.
Every edit is built around the metric you're trying to move — CTR, hook rate, ROAS — not just watch time.

Every plan includes a dedicated editor, unlimited revisions, and a shared board to track your cut in real time — you send the footage and UGC, we send back ad-ready creative.
Send your raw footage or UGC and the metric this piece needs to move. We edit only — no shoots, no production lead time.
You're paired with a dedicated editor who learns your brand, pacing, and ad style — not a rotating pool.
Approve cuts, request revisions on a shared board, and get ad-ready files on repeat.
"Our hook rate on paid ads jumped the first week we switched. It's the first agency that's edited like it owns the media budget too."
"We run VSLs weekly. Vessels is the only editor that's ever asked what our close rate was before touching the timeline."
"We route twelve client accounts through Vessels. The review board alone replaced three tools we used to juggle."
Skiff (from $897/mo) is for brands testing one or two ad angles before scaling spend — up to 8 ad creatives a month. Sloop (from $2,400/mo) is our most-booked plan: a dedicated editor producing up to 20 videos a month, 3 hook variants each, for brands running always-on paid social. Freighter is custom pricing for agencies and media buyers running volume across multiple accounts, with multiple editors and white-label delivery.
We're an editing-only service. You send us raw footage or UGC — your own, or from creators and agencies you already work with — and we turn it into finished ad creative. We don't offer filming, shoots, or on-location production.
Standard turnaround is 24 hours for ad edits and short-form. On Sloop and above, standard requests can be delivered same-day within a single edit cycle. VSLs and long-form typically take 2–3 business days. Exact speed depends on footage volume and how much motion graphics work is requested.
Yes. Once matched, your editor is dedicated to your account — they learn your brand, your pacing, and your ad style over time instead of starting from zero on every request. A second trained editor is kept on standby for coverage, but you always work with the same primary editor.
Every editor goes through a screening and test-edit process before working with clients, and is trained specifically on direct-response and performance-editing conventions — hooks, pacing, captions, platform specs — not just general video editing. They're also professional and easy to work with: clear communicators, responsive to feedback, and respectful of your time and brand. If a working relationship ever isn't clicking, we handle the re-match, not you.
Depends on the format, but here are general guidelines: Short-form / UGC cutdown — same day. Direct response ad with hook variants — 1 video with 3 hooks per day. VSL or long-form — 2–3 business days. These are general minimums; once you start working with your editor you'll get a sense of each other's pace.
Raw footage or UGC, a short creative brief (what metric this piece needs to move, any brand or platform guidelines), and any reference ads or hooks you want us to riff on. If you have asset libraries like Envato Elements or Storyblocks, sharing access speeds things up too.
Through the shared review board on your preview link — leave timestamped comments the same way you would in Frame.io. You can also loop in Slack, email, or WhatsApp if that's easier for your team.
We can't guarantee performance since that also depends on offer, targeting, and spend — but every cut is built around the metric you tell us to optimize for.
We use AI tools to speed up rough cuts, transcription, and clip selection — every final edit is still reviewed and finished by a human editor.
Tell us directly and we'll help re-match you with someone better suited to your style — no extra cost, no long conversation required.
No. Plans are month-to-month. We ask for 30 days' written notice before cancellation so we can wind down your editor's workload cleanly.
