As a follow-up question, what’s the rule with using the music that is played at the wedding, just being used as natural sound on the video. If it’s playing in the background, is it just as illegal?

My advice is taking a break often. Getting up and going for a short walk every hour or so will help. Also, I would advise going for an hour-long bike ride or something substantial for a lunch break. That may help to “reset” yourself to get back to work.
It’s tough working on mind-numbing tasks, I know, I’ve done it. The end of the day is a beautiful thing.

Thanks Mark,
I appreciate the knowledge. It definitely makes me comfortable coming to her with a budget for this year’s performance. (I’m sure I have done my last video for her based on what she’s willing to pay…and based on the quality of the video production the years before I did it)

So a full day rate for the shoot, plus 40 hours editing/copying DVDs, and then a per-DVD price as well. The owner charged her students I think $22 to buy the DVD. I believe I heard $9 a DVD is a reasonable price for me to charge. Sound about right?

So I gave up and just inserted pre-made buttons from Encore’s library, and that worked just fine. I tried deleting and re-making the button the original way, and I even copied one of the buttons that did work, and replaced the “Play All” button with that, and it would show up on the menu screen as working with all the buttons lit, but then when I previewed it, it didn’t work.
Weird, anyway, it’s fixed now, but I’d still like to know what I did wrong, or if anyone has had a similar problem.
Thanks,

Thanks for your help, guys. Sadly, I’m just a photog here, and all I can do is yell at the Ops Mgr every month about “MORE TAPE!!!”.
Mark, that is pretty much what we ended up doing. It wasn’t perfect, but we got two usable shots that made it into the reporter’s package at 5:00.
Again, thanks,
Rick
