[Todd at UCSB] “But I DON’T edit in DV, I edit in 10-bit uncompressed. So the footage isn’t using a DV codec to pull a green screen. Although, if I have to do green screens again, I would use our Panasonic SDX900 (DVCPro 50).”
HUH? Edit in 10 bit uncompressed using footage shot with a DV highly compressed video, how did you get into this uncompressed state? Or do you mean you don’t compress it any more through transfer? Once compressed, always compressed. Lost signal is never fully regained.

I would charge normal hourly rates, and to make them wonder if the re-edit is worth it, give each session of re-edits a minimum time, maybe jsut an hour or two but be sure there are no 5 minute sessions. Be sure also that it is paid on an as used time period (weekly is nice) not when finished product is delivered.

Check out Folsom’s Presentation Pro, Analog Way, switchers. I prefer the Folsom. These are scaling switchers. Mixing composite, component, VGA, etc.

[danny boyee] “Ahhhh….Thank you guys. My brain had serious editor’s block. Ever get that?:)”
No less than once a week, or is that once a day? Can’t think, my brain is not functioning right now.

[james klatt] “It just breaks my heart to know that I spend so much time properly exposing clips and sometimes color-grading to see it get some nasty orange tint or super contrast on some TV set. Thanks!”
You have to get over that and welcome to the real wor;d of TV. All you can do is make sure what you turn out is the best you can get, if they see it on a crappy TV and as a result it looks bad, that is their problem, you can take pride in knowing you gave them a quality product.
I have always prefered a TV monitor that has a means to turn off filtering such as comb filters, color filters etc. I want my monitor to show me what I have not what it can do to make it look good. Then I can tweak and know I am getting the best I can.
Always remember, mediocre video can look great on an expensive Sony with skin tone correction, etc.
Personally I prefer Ikegami monitors, because they gave me the opportunity to turn off filtering so I could see what I had, but currently I don’t have one cause this company won’t spend $10,000-$20,000 on a monitor.
The moral of this story is expensive or inexpensive can still give you what you wnat, just that the inexpensive monitor takes more time to set up with less setup controls.
I probably didn’t actually answer your question, but gave you food for thought.Charlie

Keep in mind if you should have a terminator in line before the last item you could be double terminated and the video will be dark.
Hope this helps
