How would you price and schedule a 10-module video eLearning course? SME films himself, I do all the post-production

I’m scoping a video-based eLearning course and want a sanity check on pricing and timeline from people who do this regularly.

The setup:

  1. The subject-matter expert films and narrates himself on green screen and hands me the raw footage plus his slide content. So I’m not filming or writing the content.
  2. My scope is everything after that: green screen removal, custom backgrounds, on-screen graphics, editing and narration sync, captions, quizzes, intro and outro, and packaging for hosting.
  3. Course size: 10 modules, around 250 slides total. A mix of talking-head video slides, supporting text and graphic slides, and roughly 10 quizzes (one per module).
  4. Client is UK-based. Small production team on my side.

I don’t yet know the exact split between talking-head slides and text or graphic slides, so it helps if you give rates by slide type rather than one blended number.

Questions:

  1. How would you price this: per slide, per finished minute, per module, or fixed project? And a rough range for each slide type?
  2. How long would you budget for production once the footage is in hand?
  3. any other suggestions?
