Are you frustrated with how much of your time is devoted to editing?
Are you saying no to work because you know you can’t possibly edit another project?

- Will they work from my studio or home?
- Do I need them full time or part time?
- Would a per-project basis work better?
- How much will it cost to employ them?
- Is it smart to pay them an hourly rate?
- Will I need to train them?
- What happens if they leave; do I need to start all over again?
- Is there enough room in my package price to hire someone to edit for me?
- If they don’t work at my location, how will I get them files?
- What if I get busy – will they keep up with all my work?
- How do I find someone online? How do I trust them?
- Will they keep my details confidential?
- Will they be consistent and deliver on time?

2. Avoid paying an hourly rate.
The entire idea of moving away from editing is to reduce your stress and workload. If you’re constantly check in on and editor to see if they’re meeting targets and using their time properly, you haven’t really achieved a streamlined post production. Employ on a per-project basis instead.
