I'm relatively new to editing on Avid. My last station installed NewsCutter in August and I was recently laid off. I don't know what a fair salary would be for someone as new to Avid as I am - in spite of 15 1/2 years of overall editing experience. I'm looking for any advice. |

Non-linear editing is the future, and every college and even every high school has it NOW.
That's the problem, at least at this moment. Real world TV stations are dragging their feet switching. The cost no doubt is the issue.
Production houses here will pay $50 an hour freelance for non-linear editing, TV stations won't.
Now, the TV stations all request non-linear editing experience when they hire an editor but we often then have to train that person on LINEAR since we don't use non-linear editing yet. We've lost two people who got fed up waiting for us to buy non-linear editing.
