Aaron:

After 22 years in the business and countless bosses who tell me they were brilliant here is what I have learned: You are only worth what A company wants to pay YOU for the job. It has nothing to do with you personally. 15 years ago a top level editor in NYC could earn up to $250K a year. Now those guys are lucky to be much above 100K. These were the best in the business, but the business has changed. I remember sitting in front of a former brilliant boss asking for a raise in the early 90’s. I had an offer from a company willing to double my salary! Wow I was stoked, but I really did not want to leave. I told my boss about the offer, and he said in a nice slow Texas Draw, take it son. What, Take it son. He told me I was the best editor he ever had, but to him editing was worth only so much. He said It was time for me to grow, and he would bring in someone new and in a few years they would be in that same seat with the same issue.

Your bosses gave you the opportunity to learn on the job, and you hit a homerun, but they still have your rookie contract. The only way to grow financially is to get another contract, and they may counter. You have done well! Keep on growing!

Thanks Mark:
The info you provide is great. I think it is really a case of confidence. I have been doing this a long time for someone else, and have seen all their mistakes. I am trying hard not to repeat them.
Thanks again.

I tried this already, did not work. Would getting Quicktime pro make a difference.

Hi MAtt:
I have been in the Sports arena for a lot of years. Currently at MSG-Network. You can make a good living, but like everything else it’s all about timing. There is no such thing as luck! it’s opportunity meeting preparedness. Our industry is changing with technology, stick to your guns, show ’em what your worth, and make ’em pay ya right.
Best of luck
Roy

Thanks for the insight. I was really asking if an Avid Adrenaline can take a quicktime movie into it’s timeline, and spit it out.
Thank you again for all of your help.
