I see, yeah fiver and freelancer.com. That makes sense. But I’m asking more about the prices that wedding videographers charge a client to film and edit their wedding video, as compared to what they charged a decade ago. Have the prices risen sharply across the board?

THANK YOU!!!!!!!! 10 years after the original post. So glad you left that comment!!

I don’t have an answer, but I’m dealing with converting 29.97 to 30fps, or vice versa. Reason being, I need to be able to use both cameras in multi clip editing. But multiclip won’t function if the fps are different. On top of that problem, the footage from the two cameras gets out of sync on the timeline, probably because of the difference in fps–although maybe for another reason.
If you come up with anything would you let me know please?Thanks

thanks for the feedback.
yeah, it seems weird that he would ask that of me, especially since i don’t have access to the site’s server or anything, so far as i know.
i’ll just let him know i can’t do that part of it, and i’m sure he’ll be fine with that.
thanks, Josh -
yeah, it’s connected with FW800.
it’s formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled)
i got the avi’s on via another external drive formatted as NTFS. -
okay, so the FCP Dropped Frames Support article helps out a lot. The second warning message is the other one I’d gotten, which says that the dropped frames are due specifically to slow disks.
In answer to your question, I’d brought the audio in as an aiff, so the audio didn’t need any rendering–but the video has a green render bar above it becuase i’d changed the clips’ speed.
But it’s obvious to me now that this Oyen Digital drive is too slow for what I’m doing. It’s a 5400RPM drive.When I originally went to MicroCenter searching for a suitable 2.5″ external drive, the guy told me that I should be very careful with using a 2.5″ drive that spins at 7200RPM. He told me that a friend of his had burnt a port or something weird like that, because the small drive, with no AC plug, couldn’t handle the 7200 speed.
So I tried out a 5400RPM Lacie, this one to be specific: https://www.compuplus.com/i-LaCie-Rugged-200GB-All-Terrain-External-USB-20-Firewire-800-Firewire-400-7200-RPM-8MB-Hard-Drive-301310-1011050~.html?sid=or37bdm1so22ubr
it worked beautifully, and to add to it, it was faster than my 3.5″ 7200RPM externals when using my VJ program (VDMX), because it had FW800 (i had never used FW800 before that)
so that’s what led me to believe that 5400RPM drives weren’t so bad for video anymore.
I’ll probably sell this Oyen (which is too bad because it has an eSATA port), and grab the Lacie drive again. If anyone has advice about 7200RPM 2.5″ drives, please let me know, and maybe i’ll buy one of those instead of the Lacie.Thanks

Alright, I got a warning again–I wish I could attach the screenshot of it for you guys. But it said that frames were dropped during playback, and that i could take 6 different measures to limit this from happening, such as turning off Unlimited RT, and closing open sequences. It also suggests “increasing the speed of your system and/or disk drives and/or network connections”
I’m wondering if i should go back to the store and get the other external that was working fine, but a bit more expensive.
I’m also 99% sure that there was another warning I’d been getting, that was longer than this one, but which spoke to similar things. If that pops up, I’ll snap a shot of it as well.Thanks

What type of companies hire DVD authorers as a specific position? Just curious, because I do a bit of it, and like it, and would love to have a job where I can focus on it…
I’m in Boston, moving out to the Bay Area in the fall.
