I saw a job advertised a few months ago in Florida editing trailers on FCP. It doesn't pay much though. The job I saw was paying $30k per year. You are better off cutting features than trailers. It is a much easier life and better paid. You don't usually need to get involved heavily in graphics and effects like you HAVE to in trailers. You need a very sound background in Photoshop and After Effects to cut trailers.

she's cool she edited all of Baz Lurmans flms [Strictly Ballroom, Romeo+Juliet and my favorite MOULIN ROUGE!]

She also did Muriels Wedding, Road to Perdition and a Low budget film called Head On.

I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine and he shall be my Squishy.

I agree there might not be as much money in trailers, but for an editor who loves to create effects and faced paced film. Not a bad living.

Possibly Raja Gosnell.
