I've had a company ask me to make vids for their channel. These would be short 5-10min videos that go over tips on how to use their products. Does anyone know what the average rate is for this type of thing or any suggestions on what I should charge? Thanks
 
We charge clubs $450 to make videos for them. I think we under-charge considering the number of cameras we use and the amount of editing we do, but we have fun doing it too.
What you are talking about is somewhat different - what you charge will depend on how much time you take on it and the quality of the video..
I’m actually curious to see what people suggest.

Yea you definitely undercharge man! I charge 400gbp a day as minimum for me and one camera. Everything else is xtra
 
In this case I don't have to do any filming because its all screen capture. The videos are between 5-10 min and the editing isn't that hard. That said I have to come up with the content myself, which can be difficult. The editing/capture takes about 1-2 hours, but the ideas for the content can take between 5min to 6 hours. Any other suggestions.

How big a company? You're functionally filming a commercial for them.

Only if the quality is on-par with a ‘commercial’..
One thing to consider in your pricing formula is how professional your videos are/aren’t. If your videos are on-par with a TV commercial, you could charge thousands.. If it looks more like a shakey home-video filmed on a smartphone in portrait-mode, then you probably wouldnt get away with charging more than $45 .. My guess is that you will fall somewhere in the middle.
