Ever since I lost 6 video scenes last year on a broken SD card I’ve been super sensitive to the security of videos after they have been shot. While I was in Europe in January I also learnt that I must not take photos using the video camera’s photo function. The software (Final Cut) does not like and won’t extract the videos from the camera. So for a number of videos I have to convert the .MTS files on my computer to .MOV files before Final Cut can edit them. This drops the quality of the video. It really breaks my heart when things go wrong with the videos. So Zac recently learnt how to edit using Adobe Premiere and tells me that it’s easy to use… and it can read MTS files without having the extra step which drops the quality. So soon I’ll be moving from Final Cut to Premiere. I’m hoping this will add a lot of flexability to the formats offered in the member’s area. Oh… and After Effects looks pretty dam cool too!
That was fairly techie post! And absolutely nothing to do with the photo of the adorable Shaun Michael above.
