    i suspect that the reason she would like to retain the rights to the video is for copyright protection of her technique.

    this is not a problem. just charge more than you normally would. i am sure she will understand and will pay the premium to retain control over the footage. for example: she wouldn’t want you using b-roll of a secret technique in the girl guide fundraiser video that God-knows-who will see.

    this is also the secret to doing more work for her. don’t fight her on the rights issue. if you get your gander up and your back to the wall she may even pull this project from you.

    just consider her to be the producer with all of the rights over the footage and yourself as a contractor to shoot, edit, and what-ever.

    as i say. simply charge more than you usually would. she will pay it to keep control over her techniques.

    why don’t you post their name here so that nobody else gets burned and call it a day.

    $385? after paying the whole tab… are they saving anything or just being dorks?

    i am using an imac 2.0 with 1.5g ram to cut HD (dvcpro codec) footage. i had the footage captured at a post house and transferred to a usb drive. then i dropped the footage onto the imac hard drive and it has worked like a charm.

    hdv should be similar if not faster.

    no worries mate. soon we’ll all be editing on thumbnails and using heads of pins for storage.

    thanks for all of the help.

    the hd version i had did not have the proper codec to play the footage. i upgraded to studio 5 and it works fantastical.

    Dimensions: 1280×720
    Codecs: DVCPRO HD vout 720p60
    Imdc, Integer (Big Endian)
    Timecode
    Channel Count: 1
    Duration: 29’58

    that is what appears on the get info window for one of the clips. this footage was captured at a post house using the dvcpro deck and fcphd.

    i downloaded the codec from apple and installed it. so what else is there?
