Best Video Production Companies in Vienna (2026)

Introduction

Vienna has a compact but busy production scene, and the nine companies below cover most of what a brand or agency is likely to need: TV and online commercials, branded content, and corporate and employer films. Each one has a working office or studio in the city in 2026.

Most commercial work in Austria is commissioned by Vienna agencies for clients in banking and insurance, telecoms, energy, retail and tourism. The 2025 CCA Venus shortlist, the Creativ Club Austria’s main awards, credits Vienna houses such as PPMNEXT (Magenta’s summer campaign with Kubrik and Saatchi & Saatchi) and Kaiserschnitt Film (four Österreich Werbung campaigns with Wien Nord Serviceplan). Studio capacity has grown too: HQ7 Studios, with two soundproof stages between the city centre and the airport, has been operating since October 2024. AI-assisted production is now part of the offer, and at least one Vienna house has set up a separate AI-first studio.

The list mixes agency-facing commercial houses with smaller studios that mainly make corporate and social video, because buyers in Vienna use both. Animation studios and always-on content units have their own pages. The list is unranked, since the right choice depends on the brief, the budget and how much of the work you want handled in one place.

The best video production companies in Vienna

1. MXR Productions

Independent · Leopoldstadt · mxr.at

MXR Productions, established in 2008, describes itself as a technology-driven production company for moving image work. Christoph Tilley runs it as CEO and managing director, and also directs. The team of around 20 includes producers, editors, motion graphics artists and a sound engineer, so a good share of post stays in-house. It has an office on Praterstraße and a studio on Czerningasse, both in the 2nd district.

Recent work includes ASICS films directed by Eric Van Wyke (“Tokyo Collection” and “METASPEED 2025”), win2day’s “Fairplay IV” directed by Manes Duerr, and campaigns for VERBUND and Österreichische Post. The VERBUND spring campaign was made as a climate-friendly production at the Hyperbowl.

2. PPMNEXT

Independent · Innere Stadt · ppmnext.com

PPMNEXT is a film and photo production company run by managing directors Dieter Klein and Thomas Mayer. It works through three units: Film for commercials and image films, Foto for photo production, and Hype for social content. The film company is based on Rudolfsplatz in the 1st district, and the photo studio is in Wieden. Its commercials roster lists more than 30 directors, many of them international.

The 2025 CCA Venus shortlist included its Magenta summer campaign. Work shown for 2026 includes Wiener Städtische’s autumn campaign, McDonald’s “Nice Price 2.0”, and films for Raiffeisen, Verbund and the Arbeiterkammer. Having film, photo and social under one roof suits campaigns that need all three from the same shoot.

3. Trippy Pictures (Kaiserschnitt Film)

Independent · Vienna · trippy.pictures

Trippy Pictures is an AI-first production company set up as a joint venture between the commercial house Kaiserschnitt Film and the AI creator ohneis652. Kaiserschnitt brings more than 15 years of production experience and Cannes Lions wins, with a focus on luxury, automotive and fashion. Trippy lists Vienna and Berlin as its bases.

Kaiserschnitt Film had four Österreich Werbung entries on the 2025 CCA Venus shortlist with Wien Nord Serviceplan, including “AUTfluencer” and “Unbelievably Close”, plus “A Few Degrees More” for the Leopold Museum. Its listed clients include adidas, UNIQA, Drei, Erste Bank and Austrian Airlines. Trippy’s own clients include Samsung (through Wien Nord Serviceplan), Verbund and Ökostrom. It is worth asking which parts of a job run as conventional production and which through the AI pipeline.

4. Sabotage Films

Independent · Innere Stadt · sabotage-films.com

Sabotage Films was founded in Vienna in 1999 by Thomas Brunner and Gernot Schaffler, and Schaffler is its executive producer. It produces classic TV ads, documentaries, web content and brand-building work, and has its registered office on Renngasse in the 1st district. The company also lists offices in Los Angeles and Miami.

Earlier work credited to Sabotage includes spots for Alpha Tauri and Zurück zum Ursprung, and its site has a separate long-format section. The website gives little detail on recent commercials, so ask for a current reel.

5. BUSSI FILM

Independent · Alsergrund · bussi-film.at

BUSSI FILM is an independent production company on Zimmermanngasse in the 9th district. It is led by two managing directors who have known each other since childhood: Severin Ogris (head of creative) and Daniel Berthold-Roesch (head of production), each with more than ten years in advertising.

It develops and produces TV commercials, online and social spots, image films and branded content. The company says it takes on anything from small productions to large commercial shoots, which makes it a reasonable call for brands that want a creative partner as well as a producer. Its site does not name clients, so ask for references.

6. kameraWERK

Independent · Josefstadt · kamerawerk.at

kameraWERK is a film production company and camera rental business on Kochgasse in the 8th district, active since 2011. It makes TV documentaries, image and advertising films for companies, and short films for congresses and events. It also offers 360° video, live streaming and production services.

Its broadcast client list is long: ORF, ARTE, BBC Studios, ZDF, RTL and National Geographic among others. Brand and corporate clients include Österreich Werbung, Manner, Radatz, Drei, T-Systems and AutoScout24. The in-house kit hire helps on short-notice shoots.

7. Touché Videoagentur

Independent · Ottakring · touchevideoagentur.com

Touché is a full-service video agency that has been making films since 2015, with its own studio on Thaliastraße. It handles concept, production and post, and its services cover image, product, employer branding, interview, event, explainer and tourism videos.

Clients shown include OMV, Kapsch, Wüstenrot, the City of Vienna, WKO, Otis and Thermo Fisher. Portfolio work includes an employer branding film for Kapsch, event coverage for the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights, and an explainer for the Austrian Court of Audit. It suits organisations that need a steady flow of corporate film.

8. Dreh & Schnitt

Independent · Donaustadt · drehundschnitt.com

Dreh & Schnitt is a Vienna video production company focused on corporate and advertising film for clients in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. Its work runs from image and recruiting films to event videos, product videos and social reels, with scripting, colour grading and animation available alongside.

Clients include ERGO Austria, Deloitte, EY-Parthenon, PORR, UNIQA, Hilti, the FFG and the Marriott Vienna Hotel, for which it has made both an image film and social product content. Videographers can also be booked on their own, which helps with events and smaller in-house jobs.

9. Spinning Gear Films

Independent · Floridsdorf · spinning-gear-films.at

Spinning Gear Films is a smaller production company in the 21st district, run by Yasemin Hickl. It is listed with the Vienna Film Commission for film, commercials, social media content and post-production, for local and international projects.

Its portfolio covers image films, music videos, social content, photo shoots and video podcasts, including a film for Cliniclowns. It is a fit for NGOs, cultural organisations and brands with modest budgets that want a hands-on producer.

What to look for in a Vienna video production company

Decide first whether you need a commercial house or a corporate studio. The agency-facing houses in Vienna work with international director rosters and are used to agency approval rounds, broadcast specifications and usage negotiations. Corporate studios usually keep a smaller crew, quote by the project and move faster on recruiting, event and explainer films.

Ask who will direct and who will produce, by name. Several Vienna houses represent directors from across Europe, so a strong reel may come from someone who is rarely in the city. Check how much of the post-production stays in-house, since editing, grading and sound handled under one roof tend to shorten revision rounds.

Look at how AI tools are used, if at all. Some Vienna companies now offer AI-assisted or AI-first production, which can lower costs for some formats. Agree early on rights, training data and how AI-generated material is labelled, and route any compliance questions to your own legal team.

Finally, agree how review will work before the shoot. Commercial and corporate jobs both generate large rushes, many cut versions and feedback from several stakeholders. A production company that shares cuts through one link, collects time-coded comments and keeps an approved version on record will save days across a campaign.

How Fabric helps video production teams

Fabric gives a production company one workspace for rushes, cuts, client feedback and project knowledge, with AI search across all of it. The setup for commercial production teams keeps briefs, treatments, edits and call notes together per client.

Footage sits in Fabric’s cloud drive, which streams files on demand so they take no local disk space. Editors can open heavy files without waiting for a full download, as described in editing video without filling your SSD. Transcription makes interviews and rushes searchable by what was said, and results jump to the timestamp.

For review, share a cut with the client as a commenter. Shared links work without sign-up, and media review lets commenters leave timestamped comments on video and audio, draw on a video frame and attach a comment, and draw on stills. The team marks each comment completed as it is addressed, so feedback works like a checklist. Getting client feedback on a video walks through the steps. Published links suit final delivery: they are view-only, with optional download.

On Team plans, docs that write themselves keep a running page for each client from meetings, Slack and the workspace, covering decisions, deliverables and open items. Producers joining a job mid-campaign get the history without asking around.

Password protection and link analytics are included on Pro and Team plans, and self-writing docs on Team plans. See plans for teams.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best video production company in Vienna?

It depends on the job. For agency-led commercials, PPMNEXT and Kaiserschnitt Film both appeared on the 2025 CCA Venus shortlist, and MXR Productions has made recent ASICS and VERBUND work. For corporate and employer films, studios such as Touché and Dreh & Schnitt are built around that kind of brief.

How much does a commercial shoot cost in Vienna?

Costs vary with the director, cast, locations, shoot days and media usage, so production companies quote per project. Ask for a detailed cost estimate that separates production, post-production and usage rights, and compare quotes on the same treatment.

Do Vienna production companies use AI?

Some do. Trippy Pictures, a joint venture of Kaiserschnitt Film and the AI creator ohneis652, works as an AI-first production company. Others use AI tools mainly in post-production or development. Ask each company how it handles rights and disclosure for generated material.

Which Vienna companies make animated films?

The companies here focus on live-action commercial, branded and corporate film, though several add motion graphics. If a brief needs character animation or 3D, ask to see that part of the reel before commissioning.

How should a client review cuts with a production company?

Agree one place for cuts and one way to give notes before the edit starts. Time-coded comments on a shared link, with each note marked done once addressed, avoid conflicting feedback across email threads and keep a record of what was approved.
