I'd imagine editing porn is a bit dull.

I did edit a movie set in a lap-dancing club one time, but that caused all kinds of complications because I was continually having to decide when to cut away to a shot with naked breasts.

I can't beleive nobody has took advantege of this yet.

I think most people prefer to do their own editing, rather than leave it in the hands of an 'unknown'. Maybe posting a showreel to show off your stuff will make more people take advantage of the offer?

Speaking only for myself (of course) I don't see any advantage. First you won't edit horror. I have a horror film.
Second you have little experience. Nothing wrong with that - we all start somewhere and this seem like a great way to learn. So I see the advantage for you. What's the advantage for me? Or anyone with a short film?

Perhaps the reason no one has taken you up on your offer is because you have explained how it's a good thing for the filmmaker.

I recently read an article on Videomaker about how you should let someone else do your editing for you, as it is a great way to get someone else's input, and often you end up with a better product because of it. I wouldn't be willing to let someone else edit my final product, but in an opportunity like this, where you could edit it and I could edit it myself, then say compare the final products and incorporate what I like, or use it if I really like, then this sounds great. The only problem is, how do you plan to get the footage, and then return the final cut. Would you send it by DVD? Also, you never told us what post production equipment you have. What are you editing on, what tools do you have for audio, are you capable of outputting to whatever format we want/need? That's stuff I'd like to hear before I committed to something like this.

HDV would surely eat up quite a bit of storage and transfer space for exchanges between the editor and the filmmaker. I suppose both sides would have to have blu-ray burners? I am still hoping there is some sort of affordable tape reader/writer for HDV. I remember the days of tape drivers for data backup, surely there must be something like that out there, affordable, for a similar use with HDV/DV tapes for storage and retrieval of large amounts of data?

I suppose if it was SD then you could output it straight to a camcorder and save it to a MiniDV tape. But HDV would be near impossible to work with.

Well, with HDV you always have the problem of finding a master format you can use, but if you use a native HDV editor it's the same bit-rate as DV, or lower for the JVC cameras. Ideally you'd output to HDCAM or similar for the final master.

For rough cuts you'd be fine just downconverting to DVD, since you don't need to see it as HD until you're close to the finished edit.

All this formatting is just too much for me. I follow it for a little bit and then get lost in the pixel counting. I vote we go on strike and filmmakers everywhere refuse to buy anything but the one format we pick. If they want to introduce a new format, then they have to put it up for review by the general community.

Hahah, well the whole 29.97 and ntsc problems were caused by the bloody Americans not bothering to change their broadcasting system when colour came in :p

Yes, 29.97 is evil... I'd really hoped we'd see the back of it with HD.

Though not quite as evil as underscan/overscan on HDTV sets: 'Yes, let's take a digital 1920x1080 input signal then scale it up by 7%, crop off the edges and display the rest on our 1920x1080 LCD panel, because that's what 1950s valve-based TV sets used to do with SDTV broadcasts'.
