It would normally consist of simply stripping out an English-language voice over from a digital video and adding a new language VO. Because most of this work is for corporate videos (as opposed to television or film work), it does not need to be lip-sync'd. We paragraph-synchronise the audio during recording. There may, however, be a<br /> little audio (or video) tweaking to be done (by you) to some of the start and end points for each phrase / paragraph / scene (eg. time-stretch, tiny cuts).</p> <p>Work would be on a per-project basis, from your home / studio</p> <p>Pay per-hour.</p> <p>We usually do not give much advance notice, so you would need to be generally available on a day-to-day basis for an hour or two at a time. If this is not the case, please do not apply.</p> <p>Is this kind of work something you are capable of, are available for, and would be interested in doing?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Simon</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/video-editor-software-for-linux-supporting-mov-file-please-help#post-70268 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 08:37:16 +0000 albert 70268@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi there,</p> <p>I use ubuntu 11.04 (linux) and cant find any software supporting MOV file (canon S95). I remember that I had same problem some time ago when using windows platform.</p> <p>I'll be using software for editing diving movies, so I need something powerful but not too complicated... I find iMovie, which accepts MOV file, simple and reliable for this kind of work... Unfortunately, cant use iMovie on Ubuntu...</p> <p>Need some help!! I've been looking around for some time but no success...</p> <p>Thanks in advance!!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-much-is-this-video-worth#post-67865 Tue, 10 May 2011 19:36:03 +0000 Carolyn 67865@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi everyone, </p> <p>I am new to freelancing and NYC so I am having a hard time coming up with figures to charge potential clients. I just finished a project for a friend and was hoping other professionals could take a look and be honest with what I should/could charge for something like this. Either hourly, or as a package deal. I am in desperate need of some real numbers that match my skill level and services provided!</p> <p>The project involved me taking 8 hours (10 tapes) of home videos (poorly shot/lit) and editing them into a 30 minute long montage in chronological order. This also included color correcting, adding music, cleaning up audio and adding basic titles throughout.This took me roughly 30 hours.</p> <p>She also wanted a short music video with selected clips that she could share on YouTube and Facebook. This is the link to that, so you can get an idea: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDyvmjWFk7o" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDyvmjWFk7o</a> This one took me about 6 hours. The longer version looked similar in style, (without the moving picture effect), and also included audio. </p> <p>If anyone has any accurate figures, ideas or honest advice I would greatly appreciate it! Keep in mind that I am in NYC, so if you live elsewhere then please let me know how the market there compares if have any idea.

I know Final Cut, Premiere,  After<br /> Effects and Photoshop, and spent about 2k this year taking an AVID course and<br /> getting an AVID technical certification. I have a subscription to<br /> Media-match.com and get job alerts sent to my email. I’ve been applying to<br /> about 15 online jobs a week but I never get any responses. Lately I have been<br /> calling post-houses off LA411.com and  cold calling for basic internships in order to<br /> learn a little more and just get my foot in so I can start on the ground floor<br /> of a company and grow with the position.  I have offered to work for free for a trial<br /> period at all the places I’ve called…After about 2 months, I’ve had one<br /> interview but no call back, and most of the people I talk to seem to just be either<br /> incredibly flaky, or just giving me the run around.  I also have a demo reel.... <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/17581129">http://www.vimeo.com/17581129</a>, but<br /> after all the positions I’ve applied to it only has 8 views?</p> <p>Is there something I am doing wrong or missing?</p> <p>How am I supposed to break into this industry if I don’t<br /> know anybody and nobody will take a chance on me?</p> <p>Thank you for any help you can provide.</p> <p>-Jesse</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/magix-movie-edit-pro-12#post-34253 Sat, 22 Dec 2007 10:12:39 +0000 Aspyrider 34253@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Who all here is using Magix Movie Pro edit 12?

I have a PC but it is getting slower by the days. Are there enough software that is for video that can be used in a MAC. Also which one do you recommend me to get. All i use the computer for is to edit and watch my videos and go on internet like for yotube and other things.
