This class period we learned how to use the equipment and how to care for it as well. We also learned how to take the footage and save it, import it, as well as export the footage. Our teacher showed us how to sign the cameras in and out. We were also shown where the tripod and the camera goes. She demonstrated how to put in the SD card, turn them on as well as off. She just basically gave us a "tour" of the camera showing us how and where to record and gave us tips on recording certain shots like running and walking shots etc.
To take your footage from the camera to the computer, the first thing you want to do is take your footage from the camera to the computer. You want to put in your SD card into the computer, and find the clip(s) you like. You're then going to highlight then drag and drop them into your folder onto the computer. After this is done you're going to want to open up your editing software. Once it's all opened up, you want to locate and press on the import button on your software. Then it'll open up the documents on your computer. Next you want to locate your folder and upload the clips for your project. Once they appear, this is your raw footage. Raw footage is the untouched footage. You want to arrange and drop them into track 2, because that's where the film goes. Edit the clips in anyway that satisfy you. You can cut, copy, reverse or duplicate the clips. You can add any transitions and music as well as detach and add sounds.
Once your project is finished, you then want to export the project. To export the project, you need to locate your export button and press it. It will likely ask if you're sure you want to export the video, and you should click yes. the program will then begin to render, or suck and smooth out, your video. name the video whatever you want or whatever you are instructed. Save the final video into your folder. Then share the video however you want to. We will likely be sending ours to our class email.
