I understand where you’re coming from. Unless there is a contract stipulating the work is work for hire, then you are still the copyright holder. In the US, this not a criminal offense. That presents a few dilemmas for you. I cannot think of any instances where that result in you collecting additional money without spending quite a bit on lawyers to sue him.
My question for you is: why do you still work with him even though he makes you feel bad.
Increasing your fee sounds like a good solution, but it might make him upset.
In conclusion, you have another issue looming. Let’s suppose you increase the fees and he declines the fees and goes somewhere else. Then he says he wants the footage because it belongs to him and he will give it to the new editor. He will post here in 6 months asking the same general questions. We will respond generally as we are here: what does the contract say? If it does not stipulate work for hire, then the photographer owns the footage. If it stipulates work for hire, then he’ll need to get a lawyer and sue you. That’s expensive.
What does the contract say?
PS “Paying you peanuts” by the way is only in comparison to his mark up. Honestly, you’re lucky to find a good salesman. Sales always gets paid more than the rest of us. They have a harder job, honestly. Marketing yourself means you can say your work generated revenue for that guy and so new clients should hire you because they will make money too from your awesome videos. That way you can grow your business. You should consider asking this guy to write you a review that you can post on your website about how awesome your videos are and how much money they made him.

Did you watch the second half of the video? And I’d imagine the Library cant be hosted on the NTFS volume, but is it possible to import and the media, from the NTFS volume to a Library stored on an HFS+ volume?

[greg janza] “The built in OSX file sharing just isn’t very good so I’m using SMBup”
Interesting. I haven’t tried it with FCPX, but the normal connect cmd-K (also Go > Connect to server) from the finder supports SMB, CIFS, NFS, AFP. Then you have to put in the server address using the protocol you want. For example:
smb://[ip address]

[Tony West] “As I have said before, unless you created the NLE you are working on yourself you are using the work of other people. It just depends on how far you want to take that line of thinking”
That’s good!

[greg janza] ” I have two OWC Thunderbay raids that are pc formatted because I primarily edit on a pc so the raids are connected to my mac through ethernet”
How are you getting your macs to see the drives?
Are you plugging the drives directly into the mac or are you using the connect to a server command?

THanks!
I thought I was doing that, but it only works with particular codec and wrappers. I was using the wrong secret sauce. The footage I received was XDCAM EX in a quicktime wrapper. I guess I should use prelude or ffmpeg to transcode the footage into one of adobe’s special smart render.
