Yeah I’m not saying they didn’t edit it, but rather the master footage they were editing was on vhs or similar. I guess it’s probably quite likely they would’ve had some sort of better quality magnetic tape rather than vhs come to think of it though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Would probably say in your contract if you have any sort of severance regardless of where you live? Or is there some sort of mandatory severance in some places?
