Social media video in NYC: the short answers.

How much does social media video production cost in NYC?

At Velora, one AI social video costs $500, a batch of 4 to 6 videos is $1,200, and a batch of 8 to 12 is $2,500. Each video is scripted, produced, captioned, and cut for its platform, with one revision round. Ad spend is separate if you run the videos as ads.

Do I need to film anything myself?

No. Velora's social videos are scripted and produced with AI, so there is no camera crew or studio day. You send what you sell, your logo, and any product photos you have, and we build the videos around them. If you already have footage you love, mention it on the consultation.

How many Reels should a small business post a week?

Consistency matters more than volume. A steady two or three short videos a week is a sensible starting point for most small business owners, and it is easier to keep up when videos are made in batches. Velora's batches of 4 to 6 or 8 to 12 videos cover several weeks at a time.

What kind of videos work best for a small business on Instagram and TikTok?

Short videos that open with a hook in the first second or two, show the product or result clearly, and answer a question customers actually ask. Captions matter, since many people watch with the sound off. Velora writes every script hook-first and burns captions into every video.

The leak · why most business videos stall

Why NYC small business owners go quiet on social.

No time to film and edit

Running the business comes first, so the account goes quiet for weeks at a time.

No time

Videos that lose people fast

Without a strong first second, viewers scroll past before they see what you sell.

No hook

Sound-off viewers miss the point

Many people watch muted, and a video without captions says nothing to them.

No captions

Posts that only reach followers

A good video posted once and never run as an ad leaves most of its value on the table.

How it works · brief to posted

How your videos get made.

Brief

We learn what you sell, who buys it, and what your customers ask most, then pick the hooks and topics worth a video.

Step 1

Script

Each video gets a hook-first script written for the platform it will run on, and you approve it before production.

Step 2

Produce

Videos are produced with AI, captioned, and cut to vertical, square, or widescreen, with one revision round included.

Step 3

Post & run

You post on your schedule or run the best ones as ads, and the next batch builds on what got watched.

Step 4
More questions · the ones NYC owners ask

Social media video in New York: FAQ.

It depends on what you need. A freelance content creator films and posts in their own style, which suits a brand that wants a familiar face on camera. Velora scripts and produces videos with AI from what you already have, so there is no shoot to schedule, and you own every finished video.
Rates vary by creator and location, so get a few quotes before you commit. At Velora, one video is $500, a batch of 4 to 6 is $1,200, and a batch of 8 to 12 is $2,500, each scripted, produced, captioned, and cut for its platform with one revision round.
Videos are cut for Instagram Reels, Stories, and feed, TikTok, and Facebook, in vertical 9:16, square 1:1, portrait 4:5, or widescreen 16:9 where the placement needs it. Reels run up to 90 seconds, and TikTok ads up to 60, so each video is cut to fit where it will run.
Yes. The same short videos can run as Meta and Google ads aimed at people near your business. Velora's Paid Media Management runs and tunes those campaigns starting at $1,500 a month for one channel, with ad spend billed separately, so your best videos keep working after the post goes live.
A social video is a short, platform-native post built to stop the scroll on Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook, from $500. An AI commercial is a polished 15 or 30 second spot with a scripted story, voiceover, and motion graphics, from $1,500, made for ads, streaming, and your website.
Turnaround depends on how many videos are in the batch and how fast scripts are approved. A single video moves quickly once you sign off on the script, and batches are scheduled so you have videos ready before the posting weeks they cover. Your timeline is set on the free consultation.
You do. Every finished video is delivered to you to post on your own accounts, run as ads, or use on your website, and nothing is posted under Velora's name. Your social accounts and ad accounts stay in your business's name the whole time.
Yes. Social Profile Audit & Fix reviews up to four profiles, rewrites your bios, designs highlight covers, and sets up your link in bio so new viewers can book or buy. It costs $200 to $500, and it pairs well with a first batch of videos.
It helps if you want posting to run without you thinking about it each week. Velora's Content & Media Systems builds your content pillars, a social media system, and a 90-day editorial calendar, for $1,000 to $4,000, so each batch of videos already has a place and a date.
Yes. Velora Media is based in Manhattan and makes social videos for small business owners in all five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Everything happens online, so a cafe in Astoria, a shop in Williamsburg, or a studio in the Bronx works with us the same way.
Any small business that should be on Instagram or TikTok but cannot film and edit every week: restaurants and cafes, shops and product brands, salons, spas, and studios, and service businesses like contractors, clinics, and agencies. If your customers scroll before they buy, short video belongs in your marketing.
