FAQ's
1. Payments
Payments vary according to the category in which the editor is within the organization, Junior, Semi-Senior and Senior. For example, the payment for a 3-5 minute Trailer Movie video (like the test video) is paid $132, $180, $220 usd respectively. Once the editor joins the Wanderlust team, the payment list for all types of videos is sent to them.
Please note that the test video is not paid, this is why we ask for a watermark to be used on the films. The purpose of the test is to evaluate the skills of the editor.
2. Reviews
All revisions, whether requested by the QC coach or by the client, are included in the project payment.
Review rounds vary based on the editor’s performance, but there are typically 3-4 rounds of revisions (2 internal with the QC specialist and 2 with the client). There are projects in which no revisions are made, neither internal nor from the client (they approve it without asking for any changes), this depends on how well the video was made on a technical level and also on the client’s opinion.
3. Footage download
We use Dropbox to download the raw footage of all projects, so it is very important to know how to use this tool. A project usually contains between 250 GB and 500 GB of raw footage. More than one camera is usually used to film a wedding. The raw footage is sent via Dropbox.
