Having been on many sides of this (cut for a design studio, edit boutiques, was in house at an agency, currently freelance) going from anywhere to boutique is really hard in my experience. Edit companies want billings. At the studios and agencies I lucked into being there. However those great pieces all come very much in handy as a freelancer where I can leverage my shiny past work and all the connections I’ve made over the last 15 years. There was a time where I would’ve done terrible things to get a chair at a top edit company but I’m really happy freelancing now and I don’t think Ill go back to working for someone else.

I am fairly green in academia (< 1 year) and I want to shift to an area of research which I always wanted to do but never could as a Ph.D. student (because of conflict of interest).
The issue I am facing is that due to lack of my documented research experience in this field (read, lack of papers) I am finding it very hard to land any grant and reviewers keep saying "The PI hasn't demonstrated any experience in said research" blah blah.
Any advice on how to overcome this?

I’m new to freelancing, at a senior level and in NYC. Can anyone give me a range of what day rate would be appropriate to charge? Thank you!!

Do you start charging OT after 8 hours or 10 hours? Does it seem like there’s a standard? (I’m in NY but interested to know about any place)

Does anyone include a bit on invoices like "Accounts not paid within terms are subject to a .75% monthly (9% annual) finance charge" or something like that?

Tangentially, has anyone had an invoice with 30-day terms kicked back for revisions because the client's terms are longer, or do they just ignore what you've stipulated?

Does your agency have any revision requests you always turn away as a rule of thumb?

I'm working on establishing our video department and I pretty much have to start from scratch as far as client/internal understanding of the video process goes (we are a fairly small agency). Any other general advice would be awesome as well.

Hi Editors!
What did your transition from AE to editor look like?

5 months ago I joined an advertising post house as a full-time AE. Through the support of a lead editor at the company I found my way into making cuts for the company’s most prestigious client. At this point, I’ve been the sole editor of one global campaign and a co-editor of another, in addition to cutting many social media videos. It’s only 5 months but I can’t help feel that my title doesn’t reflect the work I actually do.

Does anyone know a good website where I can search for movie clips based on categories “man mowing lawn” etc.

Anyone have experience cutting in-house at Droga? I’ve heard negative things.

Beginner video editing advice wanted - I’m working on a personal side gig project. As part of that, I’m recording short interviews with people currently using a camera and/or iPhone .. (cont)
