How many revision rounds are typical for UGC videos?

Most UGC videos typically go through 1 to 2 revision rounds, which is usually enough to dial in pacing, on-screen text, and brand fit without turning the project into a long back-and-forth.

In practice, a “revision round” means you give one consolidated list of changes, we apply them, and you review the updated cut. This is different from a reshoot. Revisions are edits to what was already filmed, like trimming sections, swapping b-roll, changing captions, adjusting the hook, or tightening the CTA. A reshoot is new footage because the message, angle, or required visuals changed after filming.

If you want the cleanest process, we recommend keeping feedback specific (time stamps help), grouping notes into one message per round, and deciding upfront what must be exact (brand terms, disclaimers, offer language) versus what can stay natural so it still feels like UGC. We outline the workflow in our how UGC revisions work FAQ.

ScenarioTypical included revision roundsWhat usually changes in revisions
Standard UGC for organic social1 roundCaption style, trimming pauses, small pacing tweaks, CTA wording
UGC for paid ads2 roundsHook options, stronger on-screen text, faster cuts, clearer offer and CTA
Regulated or sensitive industries (healthcare, dental, legal)2 rounds (sometimes 3)Claim language, disclaimers, compliance-friendly phrasing, visual callouts
Multi-variation deliverables (multiple hooks or cutdowns)2 roundsSwapping hooks, reordering sections, tightening each variation

For Orlando and Central Florida businesses, we see the revision count creep up when videos involve promotions with fine print, medical or legal wording, or multiple stakeholders approving the script. If your team needs compliance review, it helps to route the first cut to the right reviewer immediately so we do not burn a round on avoidable wording changes.

If these videos are going straight into ads, pairing content with tight launch timing and tracking is where our PPC management team can help, because the best revisions often come from what the data shows (hook drop-off, thumb-stop rate, CTR), not just opinions.

If you are planning around a launch date or product shipment, our UGC production timeline FAQ can help you set a realistic calendar, and we can recommend the right revision count based on whether you need one final hero edit or a batch of variations for testing.

If you tell us where the videos will be used (TikTok, Reels, Shorts, Amazon, or ads), how strict your brand or compliance rules are, and whether you need variations, we will suggest a revision plan that fits without slowing delivery.
