SHORT-FORM ONLY

STARTA Shorts Engine.

A standalone short-form production engine for creator-led businesses that already have footage, ideas or long-form source material and need consistent short-form output.

Shorts / month One-off Monthly 90-Day
20 shorts
Baseline package
 $1,500 $1,380 $1,275
40 shorts $2,800 $2,576 $2,380
60 shorts $3,900 $3,588 $3,315
61+ shorts $3,900 base + $60 per additional short, then commitment pricing applies.

Baseline Shorts Engine scope assumes captions, b-roll and light motion. Heavier motion/graphics adds approximately 20%. Rush turnaround adds approximately 15%.
