Ok dumb question alert. What does it take to “conform” the work of a colorist. I know it’s normally in Flame, but if it’s conform only - can it be done in Premiere or After Effects?

Conform is removing all effects, transitions, animation, etc - and moving all edits/clips to one track. The editing timeline is then just a string of video clips which allows for a clean XML/EDL to be read by the colorist’s software. Colorist then does their work and outputs their shots. Then the editor/AE must go through and add back in all the effects, transitions, animations, etc...So yes it can be done many ways outside of flame.

Conform is the final step of bringing online colored and vfx footage back into your output software. Often if you are finishing in flame or resolve, vfx or color can all happen at the same time as making master exports, but it doesn’t need to. I conform in premiere every day.

Sometimes you’ve paid your colorist and paid your vfx artist and now you’re paying a very high post house rate to pay the original assistant editor to basically import the finished footage and then export. Watch that.

On a 30 second spot it takes roughly 15 minutes to conform a spot. On a feature documentary conform might take 2-5 straight days of work.

It can actually be fairly complicated if you have to rebuild variable speed changes etc. I wouldn’t rely on it only taking 15 minutes unless it’s a very straightforward edit.

My question is, is it realistic for a 25 year old young professional to handle dealing with all the extra curricular’s that come with owning a rental property ?

Roll call. How much experience? Do you staff in a boutique? An agency? Freelance? If freelance, do you usually work in agency studios, prodcos...? Do you bring on a post producer to help on big jobs?

Website question: is it bad to have a few spots that are over five years old? I keep them down at the bottom and the majority are much newer so they sort of serve as a ‘best of’ my older work.

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)

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.

How’s everyone doing out there? Busy? Slow? Remote? In person? Lower rates?

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.

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?

Anyone have rate advice for a stint in reality? Non-union, web and streaming platforms, day rate. I do expect it to be lower than advertising rates but need a number to come at them with.
