@Juan Jacob

I couldn't reply earlier for a number of reasons, I didn't know you had to do it as soon as you get the answers! But thank you!

For me this depends on the specific client. If it is a direct client and I have a long-term business relationship which I want to continue, then these little 'adjustment' jobs are the ones where I take the opportunity to profit in goodwill rather than in money. In other words, I make an obvious gesture to them to reflect the short amount of time it took me.

If it really is just 10 minutes for one adjustment in SW and a quick check through the video to see if the one-off adjustment applies throughout, then for a couple of my best clients I would just do it and send it back with greetings rather than an invoice.

But for the majority of direct clients I would just invoice a standard minimum (perhaps half an hour at my hourly rate) to reflect the admin and time involved.

Hello!

I have been working for a client for a while doing translation and subtitling services, and they pay me 4 € per video minute. This time, they sent me two videos and their subtitles, but they had the wrong timing (they appeared sooner than they should). I only had to do "set delay for all subtitles" on Subtitle Workshop. What do you think it would be the appropriate rate for this service? The videos have different lengths, so I don't think it would be fair to do the rate per video minute, as this job would take the same amount of time no matter the length of the video. Does anyone have experience with this kind of tasks? If so, what is your rate for this? Thanks a lot!
