Once we had captured all the footage from castle market we ran all the clips through 'Pro Res' in 'Final Cut Pro', we did this as the format the Canon 600d records in (H.264) is not a sufficient editing codec, we converted/transcoded the H.264 footage to Apple ProRes 422 and then re imported the footage back into 'Final Cut Pro'. Pro Resing the footage also meant that we wouldn't have to render the timeline each time we cut a new sequence this would help speed up the editing process making the project completion much more efficient.
After 'Compressor' had finished pro resing all the footage we organised the files into relevant folders on backed up hard drive, this reduced the need to search for certain clips. These folders also resemble the bins in which we would establish later in 'Final Cut Pro'. If there were ever a need to reconnect the files in 'Final Cut Pro' if a new project or file was moved the location of each clip would be easy to find. This strict organisation process is something we've failed to administer in previous projects causing us to loose footage or slow down the editing considerably.
