Re: Training videos billing

Instead of more piling-on, I'd like to bring up the related topic here of when or if you decide to charge a lower rate for the more "passive" work of digitizing or supervising a render. Do you charge full rate for sitting there watching a progress bar, same as for actual editing work?

From a facilites costs perspective, the machines are tied up either way so no, you should apply the same rate to everything and charge by time.

From a human capital perspective, it may be a grayer question. Babysitting a render, you have some limited ability to work on other things, like paperwork, or perusing the COW forums, but you're still more or less chained to the suite.
