01
Creative scope changes after the proposal
Coverage hours, teaser edits, ceremony edits, drone footage, and travel can change the invoice midstream.
Maroo for videographers
Business software for videographers who quote, contract, bill, and get paid around real events.
Manage inquiries, send polished quotes and contracts, collect retainers, schedule balances, and pay second shooters or editors from one organized workspace.
The actual problem
Video bookings have creative scope, delivery timelines, and team costs that need one clean operating record.
Coverage, editing, add-ons, travel, second shooters, and delivery milestones can change after a proposal. The contract, invoice, schedule, and payout trail should keep up.

02
Dates need protection with a contract and retainer
A wedding or event date is not secure until the agreement, retainer, schedule, and event details are connected.
03
Delivery milestones affect payment timing
Final balances, edit delivery, raw footage, and revision terms need a clear operational trail.
04
Second shooters and editors add payout complexity
Creative teams need accurate payouts, W-9s, and records tied back to the job.
05
The payment flow should feel as polished as the film
Clients should see a clear quote, contract, invoice, payment schedule, and payment link without extra friction.
