Way OT: Any Pointers for Finding a Finishing Videographer?
Hi. It has been a long time, and I see a lot of new names. I started learning Vegas here on this forum. I don’t do my own editing anymore, but could I please ask for help and pointers OT?
We are a charity non-profit. My volunteer editor and his wife were like family, so I hired him. I love him, but editing is only one of many hats, and to me it seems more like a “rough cut”. I want to start work on a script for a Bible documentary soon, and I am thinking maybe we can make a good rough cut, and find a finisher who can take it to the next level.
We are on a budget, but this one is important to us. If we can put together a good rough cut, how much does it cost for a professional finisher to take it to the next level? And how and where would a guy advertise for such a thing?
What I want is something polished that seizes the attention. I guess this guy did this himself. (Actually I would love to hire him, haha.)
Thanks in advance! Any pointers, or ideas where to start looking (besides prayer, haha)?

Hey, there’s actually a jobs section here at Creative COW – https://jobs.creativecow.net/
You can either post your listing there or look through the posted resumes.Beyond that I’d personally suggest upwork or fiverr when looking for freelancers.
As far as costs go – it all varies from person to person. So be as specific as possible and ask for their pricing directly and what’s possible, what’s not editing-wise. Prepare multiple examples of what you’re going for, but also point out what you wouldn’t want to see. If you have a fixed budget – mention it in the listing.
Basically, the more specific and thorough you are, the less time you’ll spend on sifting through applicants and potential revisions.

Hey Aivis! Thanks! It sounds like good advice.
When I get done I can post in the jobs section, and also check Upwork and Fiverr.
I guess right now I have a lot to learn about how to make my request as specific as possible. It does make sense to review the posted resumes and also check their work, so I can make sure we are getting as good of a personality fit as possible.
Lots to chew on. Thanks!
