JC - How we upload our footage

Having spent some time mastering the cameras, I thought it would be useful to produce a post on how we upload our footage.

Once we have collected the footage we want to use, we connect the plug to socket and the lead to the charger. the charger then clips in at the end to the camera. Once this is done, we then connect the camera to a USB lead, which should be plugged into the computer.

Once this is done, we turn the camera on. An option menu will then appear on the screen and we select the 'PC' option. The camera will then be recognised by the computer, and we can access the video files on the system (although at this point we cannot view them).

Following this, we select all the shots we wish to use, and save them to a new foloder on the D-Drive. Once these have been saved onto the hard-drive, we can then open up a new project in our editing programme, 'Premiere 8.0'. From here, we select the 'get media' option, and then go to the relevant folder in the D-Drive and select our footage. We then import this, and once this has been done the footage can be played back and edited.
