Thanks Shane, I’m surprised the solution to this is so simple. I will be using a Blackmagic Decklink HD capture card for deck control. Once I have a final 23.98 sequence, what is the proper Easy Setup to use for layoff? 29.97 NTSC ProRes, correct?

Final update: I waived the fee, and stated I need 24 hours advanced notice for a booking going forward. If I’m put on hold, there is no fee if the client releases me.

This thread has been very insightful to say the least. It’s great to get many perspectives on this matter, and see what works for some folks and why it doesn’t for others, and see what I can apply to my business. Thanks all.

Point well taken Steve. Considering I don’t want to chance screwing up a possibly great relationship, I will email the client stating there is 24 hours notice to avoid this problem in the in the future.

Typically I don’t run into these issues because 99% of my work comes from different cable networks, but they are all under the same media conglomerate, hence the same cancellation policy, which was explicit from the start. This is all new to me, so thanks everyone for their .02

Thanks Grinner. Charging a half-day’s rate sounds right in this situation.

I agree about the suit and tie bit. It looks like the header will stick to something like “Post-Production / Editor” and explain in the bio that I do coordinating as well.

Thanks for the responses gents. They’re certainly useful. Learning the functions of Avid coming from an FCP background certainly has it’s challenges, but I enjoy it nonetheless.

Elin Squarespace is awesome! I checked out the examples and they are amazing. I am now looking for a webdesigner that works with this format. Thank you!

Thanks Dave.

I agree that if I explained a before and after, that would work. But I do want to become more adept with AE while putting this reel together, and try some new tricks. So if I can get ahold of logo elements, it would suit both needs of a reel and training myself.
