Rate for FCP install
I recently was asked to clean up a bunch of mistakes to an FCP install. I ended up having to reinstall all the software and reconfigure drives in one suite. In the main suite I had to re-run all the cables (there was an aweful spaghetti mess), and hook the things up properly so they would work as the client needed them too. I’m an editor and don’t typically do this kind of work. Now theyr’e asking me to send them an invoice, and I don’t want to end up charging too much or too little. Just wondering what this kind of work goes for.

A professional computer tech would at least charge your editing rate. So that’s what I’d charge. You were after all, hired to edit and the mess wasn’t your fault. I would assume they’re expecting your regular rate.

that’s another problem. I typically don’t do much freelance work, and when i do it’s at extreemly low friend rates or free, so I really dont have a freelance editing rate. And the rate my company charges for me for a day, seems way too high.
