Editing: Sorting through footage!

The first step of postproduction is to convert all video files to .mov because this file format is best for use on Final Cut Express. Similarly, I must convert all audio files to .m4a; .mp3 files often crack and pop in the editing software. 


After this, I need to import all of the raw footage and sort through all that I have shot. I have hours worth of footage so this is going to take quite some time. I must be sure to look through everything in order to be sure that I am including only the best. As usual I feel that I have shot way too much! But I guess this is a lot better than shooting too little.


Luckily, I have my storyboard and shot list to aid me in deciding which shots to include where. I can also be sure that nothing is left out.



I am looking forward to actually beginning to piece this together!
