Compression Time Rates?
|
Can't Post
|
|
I have an established rate with my clients for edit time, based both on either an hourly or daily scale. Those rates include any graphics work (Photoshop & LiveType), web research, actual FCP cutting, DVDSP assembly and so forth. However, when I complete a project and pull up Compressor to make the MPEG2 file, I generally push the button and walk away for the rest of the night (depending on project length).
How do you guys charge for that time? While my system can't be used for anything else, and I certainly have an investment in hard and software, it doesn't seem quite right that I charge my full rate while I'm sipping a glass of merlot and relaxing by the fireplace with my latest Netflix disc...
BTW, my market is mostly corporate/high level legal...
I look forward to any ideas you have!
