Thanks, but my original post was asking what I should charge for spots like these… As far as I’m concerend they aren’t great, but they’re not the worst local commercials I’ve seen. Thanks.

I actually just got confirmation from two different windows Firefox users that the videos are playing fine. So as of right now, it’s a MAC-only issue that will need to be addressed. Anyway, here is a link to the same reel on YouTube.

Obviously with the compression-happy folks at YouTube, the quality takes a dive. Thanks, and thanks for your help.

In my humble opinion, there are a lot of MAC users who don’t want to admit that Premiere Pro has come a long way on the PC, and can accomplish everything that can be done in Final Cut Pro. The two programs are basically identical twins. I just keep my edit PC off the internet and I’m golden. The beauty is that you can match MAC-created media in quality, and you’re still compatable with the rest of the world (the vast majority).

GoDaddy hosts my site. The files are .wmv. I used Adobe Media Encoder WMV 512. There is not a MAC user yet who has been able to view the site. 99% of my clients, or potential clients run PCs, so it’s not an issue until I am trying to show work for advice from video professionals since most video professionals still run MACs.

If you’re using Firefox, or a MAC, then you probably won’t see the videos. And, incidently, you’re the first one to voice displeasure with the site. But, I’ll ask around and if I get the same vibe from other people, I’ll address the issue. Thanks.

Thanks for the wise advice guys. I appreciate it. It’s obvious you’ve all been there before.

I do all of my DVD authoring in Encore 2.0 right now anyway. How different is Encore CS3 from Encore 2.0? I know you can author a DVD as Flash, which is cool. Thanks.

Well, I posted it in multiple forums, because in some forums posts go for days and days without repsonses.

I actually run my own business on the side as it is. I could expand it and put more time into it. I have all of my own equipment and my own high-end edit suite. Perhaps it’s time for me to take matters into my own hands.

Thanks for your reply.
Well, I do get full health and dental from my current employer. However, there is no 401k or retirement plan. There are only 4 of us working here, and 1 only part time and is moving on to another job. It just bothers me that the previous editor made so much more than I do with the same benefits. My boss is always saying how the corporate climate for small advertising firms is changing (not for the better). I don’t know if I believe that though. Fact is, the cost of producing quality television spots and corporate videos has dropped dramatically. I just think that we are getting beat by our competition. My boss’s are older and don’t seem to push as hard for business as they should.
