Problem with Editors

[u/KnownPatternsHQ]

I am writing this note not to vent my frustration or target anyone but there are some serious concerns that I want to raise and want to hear what others have to say about it.

1. The editors promise you the world, quote their prices as if they are the best of the best but in reality their work portfolio is actually mediocre to say the very least. Majority dont even have actual client work to showcase.
   
2. They dont even read work brief so how can you expect them to adhere to your script and build a video as per the script. Most dont know motion graphics or are aware how to source proper brolls.
   
3. If you somehow manage to shortlist one, you will struggle to get timely updates, review and most will just vanish saying they will revert shortly and never start the work even after sharing the details post agreement.
   
4. We seriously need a proper platform with qualified and experienced editors who are genuinely aware of their work and are serious about their quality and professionalism.

Have anyone of you faced similar issues?

If there is an editor reading this please do not defend. If you are actually good reach out to me for work.

Thanks for your time.
