After the production team completed all the pre-production and production of the film, it was once again my turn to bring an edit together. First, I captured all the footage off the DSLR onto the mac computers. During our last production we had trouble with our export. We noticed the shots kept jumping and later learned that this was because the DSLR didn't film the footage in the correct FPS. So this time we made sure to fix this by using MPEGStreamclip, which converted the files to Apple Pro Res 442, which made the frame rate 25, so we could work with these converted files on our Final Cut Project without any problems. The conversion made the files bigger too, which also helped increase the quality slightly.
So after converting all the footage, it was all imported into a new Final Cut Pro project, set up with 25FPS DV PAL settings. At this time, I saved the project 'Untitled Drama' as we had no working title at the moment.
Then I went through each clip and sorted them into individual folders in regard to location and character. Which would made it easier then it came to starting the editing process.
