About Sajexa
Video editing for social media, based in Leeds. Serving 9 districts across the city and surrounding areas. Open Monday to Friday, 08:00-18:00. Closed Saturday and Sunday.
How the studio started
Sajexa opened in Leeds in 2015, working from a single desk and one editing machine. The idea was straightforward: local shops, tradespeople and small brands in the city needed short video content for social channels, but had no easy way to get it cut, paced and delivered without hiring a full production crew. Eleven years later, the studio still operates on that same principle, just with more people and more equipment.
The team grew slowly and deliberately. Rather than expanding into a large agency, Sajexa kept to a model where every editor knows the clients they work with. Today the studio counts 12 people, offers 14 distinct services, and has completed 978 jobs for 792 clients since opening. Of those clients, 167 have returned for a second project, which shapes how the studio plans its workflow and pricing.
Mission and working method
The mission is simple: turn raw footage into clips that hold attention on a phone screen, without unnecessary delay or unclear pricing. Sajexa does not promise viral results or guaranteed engagement figures, since no editing studio can control how a platform's audience responds. What the studio can control is turnaround time, consistency of the cut, and how closely the final video matches the brief.
Requests are typically answered within 3 hours during business hours. Most jobs move through the same stages: footage review, rough cut, client feedback, final export in the formats needed for each platform. This structure has stayed largely the same since the early years, adjusted only where new platform formats require it.
Core values
Clear pricing
Every quote states what is included, what counts as a revision, and what would be billed as extra work.
Format discipline
Each platform gets its own export: correct aspect ratio, safe zones for text, and file sizes that upload without re-compression issues.
Direct communication
Clients speak with the editor assigned to their job, not a rotating account handler, from brief to final delivery.

Questions people ask about the studio
Does Sajexa only work with businesses in Leeds?
The studio is based in Leeds and serves 9 districts in and around the city. Remote briefs from further afield can be discussed, but on-site filming support is limited to the Leeds area.
What happens if I want to come back for a second project?
Returning clients make up a large share of the studio's work. The intake process is shorter the second time, since the editor already has the brand's footage style and past exports on file.
How is a job priced?
Pricing depends on footage length, number of platforms needed and revision rounds. Full details of packages and costs sit on the services page, with exact figures confirmed after the first brief call.
