I've done a reasonable amount of subtitling work but always based on a rate per hour or if I have the script, my usual rate per word. However, an agency has just contacted me asking if I would be interested in forming part of their team; they wrote:
[i]For ES>EN we are offering $1.50 per minute of video for translation and $1 per minute of video for proofreading. These rates are estimated. They could be a bit higher depending on the project’s budget.[/i]
The rate seemed a bit low so I've just checked here and my doubts have been confirmed. Thank you everyone!
