FOOTAGE CONVERSION

Canon 305 Conversion

The images on the right display the conversion process of the Canon 305 footage. Because the footage was displayed in an MXF format, I had to run the footage through 'XDCAM CONVERTER' and follow the same process I did last semester for 'Into The Woods' -

File - add source - add files

Hold shift and select the clips

Select all the clips in the window so they’re highlighted blue - import

Open FCP

File - import - SONY XDCAM -

import (XDCAM FOOTAGE \
CONVERTER)

Sony FS700 Conversion

The conversion and logging process has now been completed. The image below shows I imported the Sony FS700 footage into Final Cut Pro 7 (FCP7 - File - Log and Transfer). The conversion took approximately 90 minutes after an initial slow start. I was going to log the footage from the Canon 305 whilst the conversion for the other camera was taking place, however I thought this may potentially slow the conversion process down so I left it alone until the conversion had finished.

I will now begin to log all the footage.
