Speaker 1Welcome to lesson three. Today we'll look at how to price your first freelance project.
Speaker 1The most common mistake is starting from an hourly rate instead of the value of the result.
Speaker 1So before we talk numbers, let's write down what the client actually gets at the end.
Public link or file upload
For a public video, copy the vimeo.com link and paste it into the box above. For private or password-protected videos, download the file (if you own it or the owner has enabled downloads) and upload it like any MP4.
Owners can download their originals from the video's settings on Vimeo; the file then uploads directly, with no conversion needed.
Add captions back to Vimeo
Download the transcript as VTT or SRT and add it in your Vimeo video's settings under subtitles and captions. Captions help viewers who watch without sound and make your video accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers.
With Pro you can translate the transcript and upload caption files in several languages.
