What is a person-day?
The fee for one person's work in one working day (here 8 hours). Total = rate per person-day × number of days.
Are these figures exact?
No, they are estimates. The exact price comes from experts' proposals and varies with the market and skill.
Is video editing priced by running time?
Final length is one measure, but the amount of raw footage, animation and effects, and the number of revisions often matter more.
Are subtitles and sound editing included in the edit?
They are usually separate items. If you want subtitles, music selection and audio cleanup, have them written into the quote.
