[thelist] client to post video OR we're not always the right person for the job

[Paul Bennett]

Hi,

Not meaning to be rude (which usually means I'm going to be anyway...)

As a developer, if something isn't in my skillset (video editing and streaming is a helluva jump from web development IMHO) then I'll state it clearly to the client. If they're willing to pay for me to learn then great, if not then I'll refer them to someone who has the skillz.

You've stated that this person is a *potential* client. If I was hiring you I'd be pretty upset when (not if) I find out that you actually know *nothing* about video editing.

Paul

That might be perfect, he's just going to need to do cuts.  I'm a mac  
person so I had no idea - what format/s will it save to?
