    Hi guys

    After years as FCP hirers here in Melbourne, Aus, we have a TV series wanting us to go back to Media Composer. No problems there, happy to do that. Miss the interface. But what do we charge now? MC is still more expensive than FCP but WAY cheaper than it used to be back in the ABVB days.

    Any long form Avid editors in Melbourne have an idea what the going rate is? Ta.

    Cheers

    I fail to see why the pricing would be any different. If you get footage, and deliver a master, you charge the same for that, whether or not it was done on FCP or Avid. Especially now that Avid is so cheap. It is no longer $100,000…but around $20,000. Fully equipped FCP isn’t far from that, $14,000 or so. So I think that pricing would be similar.
