The next 3 chapters are for those who want to create an edited music video.
Unless you have free access to equipment (like at school), you’ll have to go to a video
editing studio, and pay an hourly rate for the equipment, and the person who pushes the
buttons... the Editor. You’ll simply Direct the Editor to make the edits with the scenes
that you’ve shot, and selected in advance.
Some people may have to travel to the nearest big city to find an editing facility.
Look in the Yellow Pages, under Video Production Services. Also, look under Wedding
Videos, as some companies have editing gear.
Some companies offer basic editor training, and “do it yourself” editing. The rate
for a basic “cuts only” VHS editing system is around $15 per hour, and a Super-VHS
editing system is around $20 per hour. The hourly rate doubles, if they provide an Editor.
