Pitch videos. It has now become standard to be handed a vo script with no thought as to what’s on screen. When did the editor's job become thinking up the images as well?

What is the starting salary for an entry-level Procurement Coordinator in SF?

So as we were the first to get hit with COVID in NY, we are seeing declines in numbers now. Travelers are cut short of their contract, our hours are getting cut, and staffs are laid off. Got a call yesterday from HR that now staffs need to file for unemployment to compensate for the lost hours. We risked our lives for this fight, now they are letting us go. Shit’s fucked.

Ways to rack up cc points/miles while buying a home?

Looking for reasonable hotels in Vegas during new years. Any suggestions between Excalibur, Treasure Island and Flamingo? Any other cheaper options are also welcome!

Just got a “Sheraton Vacations” special offer to basically get 5 nights at a Florida property for $250.

I read the fine print and other than a need to be flexible in terms of when you book, it doesn’t seem like there is a catch.

Anyone familiar with this “promotion” and what the downside might be? Or are they just looking to drive revenue to their other areas (restaurants, spa, etc) with a cheap room?

So this bowl is supposed to be more indian politics focused ?

Is there anyone still on here? Every post on here is from a very long time ago.

Thoughts on XPSA?

Just interviewed for a job. Saw an old work friend in the lobby, and he shot me a message after we said hi, saying it’d be great to work in the same building again, "plus this new one has a bar.” 😣

Tech company offered me either macbook pro 16 or dell xps 15 for a nonengineering role. Which should I choose? Ive only done professional work on a PC

We’ve been trying to fill a cyber security architect position, but we are apparently missing the mark on our salary. We also want candidates that have AWS certifications. 100% remote. We are a consulting company. Is 180k that off base?

Hi,

Can someone please let me know how is the annual appraisal and growth in SLC?

I have gone through lot of posts in Glassdoor where existing employees are not happy with increments and slow growth.

I've been approached about being an expert consultant. Has anyone done this before? I'm interested to hear people's experience.

Hey how to get pluralsight access?

My H1b is up for renewal in Jun 2022, can I switch jobs before renewal and what does the new company have to do? If they're transfering my H1b do they need to apply for renewal as well? Or would it be recommended to wait until the renewal?

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)

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?

I work at a post-house and made a spec spot using a bunch of footage that was provided to us by a client (direct to brand relationship, not via an agency). Clients haven’t seen....

Hi Freelance Video Editors in New York. How do you find your work? Is it usually through producers? I need to crack the code! Also, what is the going rate for a senior editor with motion skills?

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.

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.

Anyone still using avid on commercials? In NY it seems to be 100% premiere now

Hey everyone - any freelance editors or editors/director/makers who live in (or work in) the Atlanta market?

I’m 30yo w/ 6yrs copywriting experience. I realized I find my joy in edit, and it’s what i want to do. I’m self taught, no reel. Am i crazy? What do i do to get in the biz? What should i expect?

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.

What’s everyone working on these days? Anything fun?

Anyone have a magic number that would make you give up freelancing and take a staff job? (New York)

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?

Is anyone here a movie trailer editor? I’m looking looking for some relative input regarding what experienced, senior editors typically make in the film advertising industry.

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)

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?

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

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.
