can I charge more for HD editing????

Exactly!!! Very good point!

That is a GREAT point, and along the lines of my thinking when asking the initial question.

As Walter stated above, its hard to change your rate after the client has payed it (even if you discuss it before hand, that you are “giving them a break”).

With my existing client, I have an excellent relationship and we are learning together. So what I’ve done so far is go to his facility and we played around with his P2 footage, all with no charge.
I also will not charge him for “newbie mistakes”, however I wanted to be careful to make sure from the get-go that the new realm of HD requires more money for everyone involved.

This has been a good thread for me, lots of great advise.
