In the end, I’m going to have to sync all this footage in order to edit it anyway, so the only extra work is the rendering and uploading. Simple as queuing in media encoder and setting it to automatically upload to vimeo as I run out to grab lunch or run errands.

Thank you so much for all your input. They changed it to just want the uncut interviews. I explained the time it takes to sync audio, two cameras, render, and upload. Told them I wasn’t going to charge this time…. In the end, I’ve billed thousands of dollars worth of jobs from the company and they have since given my name to several other companies I’m now in pre production with. Bottom line, we have a relationship and I know and trust they will not do anything with the footage. I have completed other works with them so they have a very good idea and trust my final decisions regarding the edits.

Thanks again for all the helpful responses. Everything I send that isn’t finished has an overlay timecode, not to prevent sharing but to help keep us all on the same page when it comes to comments and concerns.

I told them I’m not charging them but did let them know what it entailed. I feel as you do, since this is a small part of a larger project(they have since referred me to to two other paying clients) It needs to be buried or non existent. Yes, it’s a total PIA the I want to keep them happy. They will not be choosing clips from any of this but want to recall what we have to add to it and figure out what else needs to be filmed.
