Well I will leave you two to get a room, but I would add that a good editor commands similar rates to a good director - the two often work very closely together with each persons role very dependant on decisions the other makes.

My reservations with the thread includes copyright issues but mainly competance questions.

' send me your footage and I will send it back edited ' - this appears to show a complete lack of the creative straining and angst involved in good editing.

'... edited on FCP..' - And? ? This just makes me think the guy hasnt got the first clue about good editing. Any mook can learn to use a decent program by reading the manual - that does not make you an editor any more than buying a few paintbrushes and oil paints makes you a painter.

Shoot me down in flames but the free offer is just a schill to let the geezer plug his pointless board (as in we are an editors board.

And as for professional - well if he was a professional editor I am not sure he would be offering to work for free.
