Default How long does it take to edit.....

This might sound strange, but to date I've recorded and edited 3 different shows averaging run times of about 2hrs each, one was for a comedy hypnotist, the other two were live gigs.

Unfortunately, as you do when starting, its a labour of love and you don't really watch the hands on the clock so I have no real concept as to how long an editing process can take.

The shoots were mostly 2 cam gigs and I remember reading somewhere (or else I made it up...lol) that editing takes on average 10 times as long as your project, i.e. a 2 hr film takes (on average ) 20 hrs and a 3 Hr film takes 30 hrs.

Anyone else have thoughts on this, does this sound about right for "multicam" edits.

All the best
