I'm familiar with everything still, but now that I've recently relocated to Olympia, WA, I'm working towards getting my adventures caught in motion. I know that they are certainly lacking in quaility, but I'm shooting with a couple GoPro's for the time being. When I upgrade my DSLR, I'll start shooting with that as well.
If anyone has any suggestions for intro readings on video/processing, I feel like the community and I will be best served as I can read before posting some rather amateur questions.
Particularly, if anyone has some suggestions on video file formats, I'd really appreciate it. I'm currently using CineForm Studio and iMovie (I'll be upgrading soon, but Photoshop was expensive enough). I'm finding that since I'm using GoPro to shoot a lot of extra action that I don't need, I'm using CineForm to cut out the clips I want and then import them into iMovie. My biggest concern is that the 5GB of original footage I shoot quickly turns into 50GB when in iMovie, and my HDD is being chewed up FAST. Again, if anyone has suggestions on articles I can read about video file formats and what the whole post production process looks like, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!
Steve
