[Herb Sevush] “But the difference is I don’t charge for my editing rig”

Have I missed something over the last few years?, are we not charging out our edit systems any more? Why? is it competition driving the price down so people can’t charge?

I don’t bill much for kit, but I do charge!

[greg janza] “But most freelance editors don’t have the option to charge a premium for their computer equipment on top of their daily rate.”

Then Bob Zelin’s vision of the future is true? I know you can’t charge as much per day as a RED owner, but people should be charging something?

[Herb Sevush] “but only for those who can pony up 10K and upwards”

Which, in a “Pro” market, should be quite a lot of people! It’s not very much money for something that will give you 3+ years of use. I’ll get the costs back for mine in less than a year.

Camera Owners must be laughing their heads off at all the Editors angst about the cost of the Mac Pro

Why am I not surprised that you’re unhappy about it 🙂

[Ronny Courtens] “As I said: there is a very vast world outside everyone’s little neck of the woods.”

Great post Ronny, Apple did something totally unexpected and amazing with the new Mac Pro and it’s good to get a view from a higher level 🙂

[Bernard Newnham] “So in the wider world, what’s it for?
“

People who actually bill a couple of hundred ££ or more a day for Edit suite hire?

[Michael Gissing] “For $50,000, I’m confident I could build a more powerful PC with NVIDIA cards that would outperform the maxed MacPro with AMD cards running Resolve.
“

How on earth could you be confident about that when we have NO idea about how the new Mac Pro will perform?

[Steve Connor]

Thanks, will give this a try
