To do this get this free tool from Tim Doug, then just drag the package onto unpkg’s icon and it will extract the contents into the same directory, with the same name. You will need to extract the pkg that you downloaded from Apple so that you can install the codecs manually in the Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime folder on your local drive. Next get the free download from Apple of the Pro Res codecs. Visit now to download it for either Mac OSX or Windows. MPEG Streamclip from is one of the best free editing tools available. Step 2 – Downloading and installing the free tools If your producer/director wants even more information on tapeless workflows and media management, point them here: Tapeless Workflow’s – Doing All The Right Things. This is important when ingesting the footage into NLE’s that need all the camera folders to be present to access the media. If your producer/director is copying the cards themselves it is critically important that they copy EVERYTHING on the card, to keep the folder structure intact. Important cheesy acronym – ACE IT – Always Copy Everything!
This way you know that the card has copied everything.
But if they don’t want to fork out for that, then copying the entire card contents to a new folder and then pressing CMD + i on the original card and the folder of that copied card, will reveal the two sets of file size numbers that should be identical. This is actually a very simple process if they have something like ShotPut Pro installed – which will copy the cards to multiple locations simultaneously (your edit drive and their back up drive right?) and do a byte-for-byte verification afterwards. Step 1 – Copying your file based media correctly Next time your producer/director/client calls up asking you how they can prepare the footage for your edit, send them a link to this post to ensure they correctly format your footage so it really is ready to edit.įirst we’ll make sure they copy the file based media correctly and then walk them through how to transcode video footage into something you’re most likely to want, like ProRes 422.
