The start of a new series on video editing on the Mac (although a lot of the principles are the same whatever you are editing on), covering a simple workflow and why it is important (and usually necessary) to convert files from video cameras before editing them.
MPEG Streamclip is used to convert (transcode) the files and can be obtained at http://www.squared5.com/
Intro to Final Cut Express video editing part 1: simple workflow and transcoding with MPEG Streamclip from Mark Johnson on Vimeo.
If you have ideas or suggestions for future episodes then please let me know by posting a comment or via email, thanks!
