Post Production: Importing the footage and starting the editing

Here i am going to brefily explain the importing process and how we are going to edit our footage on the Apple IMacs using software called Final Cut Express.

Below you can see that we have put our memory card from the camera with our footage on, onto the IMacs. IPhoto instantly opens showing all of the pictures and video footage on the memory card for us to select what ones we want. Once we have decided what footage we want, we have to select it all and click, 'import selected' on the top right hand corner on IPhoto.




Here, we have selected 'Import selected' and our footage is being imported onto the IMac




Thirdly, we opened Final Cut Express and dragged our folder with our footage onto the software, Now we can select what footage we want and cut the footage to how we would like it.




Now once we have dragged the correct, edited footage into the timeline, we have to render the footage to watch it back.
