LOL!
Without you I have my current clients.
Without me you don’t have a product.$6900 is more than just math, dude.

True. I was assuming some rigor in their sales report, but none is required of course. Much like book sales, NYT best seller list.

Yeah!
It also helps when a new director overshoots his coverage.

You’re no Bob Zelin, but getting close. At least Bob answers questions.

20% of gross is way too steep.
2% of net is realistic. -
…and when the sales number gets to a low enough metric, Apple will release some new version number and bump sales.

Why not use the sync button?

All learning environments are inductive. So is science. Only mathematics and formal logic proceed deductively.

[Bill Davis] “I now find that scrolling through pages and pages of clip icons is something I only want to do during times I select for creative exploration. For most edit purposes, where I already know what clip I need, keyword search was is so very much faster and more powerful that “clip scrolling” becomes a chore rather than something enjoyable.”
Seconded.
In legacy FCP I used a lot of markers. The keywords are better markers, IMO. Instead of marking a single frame, I mark (keyword reallY) a range.
The real problem I’m having is trying to keep the keywords regularized. I still don’t have a nomenclature system yet.
Any good advice would be welcome, of course.
For example, I’m cutting a film, the writer/director’s first attempt. My first pass at keywords was with the script and I’d label them as Scene 1. Then selected scene 1 and all the scene 1 coverage shows up. Keyword again for WS, MS, CU etc. Then I keyworded the coverage for favorites.
It seemed to work okay. Generally speaking I screened each scene twice and had a decent assemble of each scene based on the following hierarchy search: Scene 1/Favorites. My favorite WS, MS, CU etc were the only pieces of footage taking up screen real estate when it was time to blade it.
One more cool thing! You can double click each edit point and dial in the precision.
The actual cutting process of X is pretty cool.

You can charge a reasonable fee for gathering all the stuff and putting it on a drive.
Invoice for the price of the drive plus your time to transfer the data and babysit the process.
Also get a facebook page and make sure they are your friend/like and make sure you keep it updated with what you’re doing, so you can stay top of their mind.
