Kaiser Permanente training video series
Module series, $12,500 to $25,000A multi-module series filmed in one batch. Batching is why the per-module cost drops by more than half.
Training video cost
One finished training module runs $6,000 to $12,500. A batch day producing three to five modules runs $12,500 to $25,000, which is where the cost per module falls by more than half.
Every number here is the one we quote. Pre-production $1,000 to $1,500, a shoot day $6,000 to $8,000, editing $2,000 to $4,000 per module, cutdowns $750. Or build your own estimate in two minutes.
What these budgets actually buy
Four real training projects at four price points, so the ranges below have something behind them.
Finance education and training series
Single module, $6,000 to $12,500One finished module with screen capture and graphics. This is the unit every other number on this page is built from.
Corporate online learning series
Course, quoted per seriesA full online learning series. Priced per series because the module count, not the runtime, is what moves it.
Kaiser Permanente business literacy trainer talk
Talk format, $6,000 to $12,500The cheapest format in training: one expert, one camera setup, one afternoon. Most teams underuse it.
What moves the number
Six things change a training video quote. Nothing else does.
How many modulesThe single biggest lever. One module is a half day. Five modules is still one day if the scripts are ready, which is where the saving lives.-
Whether the script existsA script you supply saves the $1,000 to $1,500 pre-production line. A subject expert talking without one costs more in the edit than it saves on the day.
-
On-camera presenter or voiceoverA presenter needs lighting, a set and retakes. Voiceover over screen capture is faster and cheaper, and for software training it is usually better.
-
Screen capture and animationSoftware walkthroughs and animated diagrams are quoted per module because they scale with complexity rather than runtime.
-
Edit per finished moduleEditing is $2,000 to $4,000 per finished module. Five modules cut from one shoot day is five edits, not one.
-
Versions and translationsSubtitled, captioned and short versions are $750 each from footage already shot. Retrofitting them after the fact is the expensive route.

What training videos cost in 2026
A training video costs $6,000 to $12,500 for a single finished module in California. A batch day producing three to five modules runs $12,500 to $25,000, and a full course or certification series is quoted per series. Screen capture and animation are quoted per module because they scale with complexity rather than length.
Training is the one category where the shoot day is rarely the biggest line. Editing is charged per finished module, so five modules from one day is five edits, and that is what most first budgets miss. The practical consequence is simple: decide the full module list before the shoot rather than after. A team that films five modules in a day pays roughly half per module of a team that films one and comes back four times.
1What is the cheapest training video?
A talk or workshop capture at $6,000. One expert, one camera setup, one afternoon, and it fills an internal learning library faster than anything else.
2What is the best value?
A batch day. Three to five modules at one location for $12,500 to $25,000 is roughly half the cost per module of filming them separately.
3How is it billed?
A 40 percent deposit to book the shoot, the balance on delivery. We bill through purchase orders and AP portals where your finance team needs that.

These are the numbers we quote from. No call required to see them.
| Package | Typical range | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Single training module | $6,000–$12,500 | One topic, scripted, filmed and edited |
| Module batch day, three to five | $12,500–$25,000 | Same crew and set, every module edited |
| Full course or certification series | Quoted per series | Priced on module count rather than runtime |
| Screen capture and animation | Quoted per module | Software walkthroughs and animated diagrams |
| Onboarding or induction film | $6,000–$12,500 | The first week, filmed once and reused |
| Compliance or safety module | $6,000–$12,500 | Scripted to your legal sign-off |
| Second filming day | $6,000–$8,000 | An additional day for more modules or a second site |
| Cutdowns and alternate versions | $750 each | Short cuts, captions and language variants |
Line by line: pre-production $1,000 to $1,500, a shoot day $6,000 to $8,000, editing $2,000 to $4,000 per finished film, cutdowns $750 each. These match our pricing page and budget estimator.
How to spend less without filming less
Write the full module list first
Five modules on one day costs roughly half per module of five separate half days. This is the largest saving available in training video.
Supply the script
A script you already have removes the $1,000 to $1,500 pre-production line and shortens the shoot. Your subject expert has usually written most of it already.
Use voiceover for software
Screen capture with voiceover beats a presenter for software training, and it is faster, cheaper and easier to update when the interface changes.
Film the talk you are already running
An internal workshop recorded properly is $6,000 and fills a library. Most companies run these and record none of them.
Plan the versions up front
Captions, short cuts and language variants are $750 each when planned and a reshoot when the coverage does not exist.
Separate what changes from what does not
Put anything that changes annually into its own module. Re-filming one module is cheap. Re-filming a course is not.

Training video pricing FAQs
How much does a training video cost?
A single finished module runs $6,000 to $12,500. A batch day producing three to five modules runs $12,500 to $25,000. A full course or certification series is quoted per series because the module count drives it rather than the runtime.
Why is editing charged per module?
Because each module is a separate finished film with its own script, graphics and review. Five modules filmed on one day is one shoot day and five edits, which is the line most first budgets miss.
What is the cheapest way to build a library?
Batch. Three to five modules at one location for $12,500 to $25,000 is roughly half the cost per module of filming them one at a time.
Do we need an on-camera presenter?
Not usually, and for software training you are better off without one. Screen capture with voiceover is cheaper, faster and far easier to update when the interface changes.
Can you deliver in our LMS format?
Yes. Tell us the platform at scope and we deliver in the formats it accepts, with captions burned in and as separate files.
What is included in a shoot day?
Crew, camera, lighting and audio for a working day on location. Pre-production is quoted separately at $1,000 to $1,500 and editing at $2,000 to $4,000 per finished film.
How does billing work?
A 40 percent deposit books the shoot date and the balance is due on delivery. We bill through purchase orders and AP portals where your finance team requires it.
How many revisions are included?
One consolidated review round on the cut. Extra rounds are quoted at the time so a long approval chain never turns into a surprise invoice.
Do you charge for travel?
Not within Southern California. We are based in Irvine and film across Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose and the Bay Area. Travel outside California is quoted at cost.
Can I get a written quote without a call?
Yes. Send the format, the scale and roughly when you need it, and you get a written scope and a number back, usually the same day.
