Its non union.

Just of the bat, what would a TV editor weekly rate be in LA and in SF?

[Israel Tamang]

Sorry, I am not been given that information as we will be discussing further. I am just requested a rate/quote to put on the paper.

I am more of a narrative feature editor and music video editor (trailers, sizzles etc…that sorta thing but heading mainly towards features)
I am pretty good with cutting things to present real time, “in the moment” or create to look like one, so that rolls over to the reality show anyways. But it will depend on the DP/camera men coverage and etc…

As of now, I am putting down $ 2800 per week and am pretty sure that is on the low end side of the things, but its just a start.

Thanks though

For cable (independent) for now. Shooting Locations based from Louisiana and LA but the post production gig will be in SF/LA where ever convenient for me and the filming crew.

Aha…sorry guys. I was tripping really bad. It only darkens on the source monitor but seems fine on the record monitor.
So if anyone had this issue, its just AVID doing its voodish thing.

[Israel Tamang]

I see. I’ll relay that! Thanks! I am onto a hyper editing mode to catch up on the lost time.

I already made DNxHD 175 mxf files in Redcine X Pro so I will just drop that in mxf folder and start from there. Besides I utilized the new colorspace “Redcolor 3” on RED. The new gamma space seem a little to much.

So there goes.

The FPS of the footage on Redcine and Redplayer show 24 and 48 and not 23.97 or 47.95. It was shot on EPIC…which I though they would have a setting for 23.97 as opposed to 24 flat.

Thanks very much for all your helpful wealth of AVID knowledge. The voodoo of AVID still intrigues me.

Too bad, AVID does not have any simplified intuitive pipeline to linking and relinking media files.

The “Record Frame Rates” are 24 and 48(for slow-motion )

Also now the directory path to R3d files has some with just the hard Drive name “IZZY-RAID” (previously for all) and others with the couple directory path “/Volumes/IZZY-RAID/PROJECTS/IYFF/ACTIVE/E-40-TurnItUp/”

Weird, but it also gave me errors saying ” a serious error has occurred, restart…….” which I believe is due to numerous cluttered mxf files. So I unlinked/relinked and removed pmr/mdb..all that. Which seem to work for now.

So would you say that at this point I have no solution but to restart all over again? I mean no way to relink the sequence to the R3d transcoded files?

Your expert advise as to best solution moving forward with the project would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the side note regarding AMA. I think I’m completely stalled now.

I tried to transcode via AVID but it game me errors about different edit rate. But I went and did convert anyway which only converted half of the clips.

At this point I have two options. Transcode clips in batches and carry on hoping AVID would relink to the newly transcoded files (.new files).

Or close the project and start new from the ground up with the newly R3D (mxf) transcoded files (which is better than pulling my hair out).

So so frustrated that I stubbornly started in AVID and with RED in order to save time editing raw (on lining) than transcoding, only to end up trouble shooting, transcoding and restarting the project all over again thus spending more time fixing it.

This is will be a benchmark point against going longterm and referring AVID to other friends.

Wow

[Israel Tamang]

Thanks Michael.
So does that mean I need to retranscode all over again? From AVID (consolidate) or Redcine X Pro?
The reason being that I did some color adjustment on Redcine so that would all be voided if I have to go through AVID.

Would have been lot easer to have started the project after transcoding them instead of Onlining.
