Today I began uploading all of the footage Andy and I have filmed so far using XDCamTransfer, a piece of software used for exporting footage from a camera and importing it into a piece of editing software- in this case, Final Cut Pro X.
I wanted to get all of the importing out of the way today, but I came across quite a major problem during the import process. It was really slow for some reason and each clip was estimated to take around 30 minutes to import into the editing software. Since we had around 80 clips to import, this wasn't going to be an easy task, and as such we had to enlist the help of our equipment and software technician; Fergus.
Although this delayed our work slightly, we were actually ahead of schedule, and so we weren't too worried about the lost time.
Another thing that happened today was I attended a masterclass in editing. Although I have previously attended workshops which show how to use the Final Cut Pro software, I had yet to actually have the correct way to edit scenes together demonstrated to me.
I found the entire experience to be a very useful one, and felt that I learnt a lot about actuality editing from it.
