MORE FILE CONVERSIONS ACK!

Just found two more folders of files that need conversion from .mts to .mov files! I thought I was done with this! Ack ack ack! 

Even More File Conversions For Rats & Gassers

Still organizing files and converting into Final Cut Pro usable files. I did quite a bit of filming all summer at various events and car shows, and even though that footage was primarily for Go-Kustom TV some of it will end up in Rats & Gassers.

Also sold my Korg Electribe A - EA1 last night.  I have sold most of my outboard synth gear in the last few months. Good to get cash for things I am not using- especially when I am now working almost exclusively on Reason 6.5.

More Rats & Gassers File Conversions

More file conversions for Rats & Gassers: Kustom Kulture Takes A Ride. Getting close to having all files maximized and ready for editing. I went back and reduced the GoPro footage from 1920x1080 to 1280x720 frame size. This saves tons of disc space and since even the HD version of this film will be 720p (1280x720) no need for the extra size. Opened up over 120 gigs of space! Now I can convert all Go-Kustom TV footage from MTS format to usable .mov files. This is important because I need to review the Go-Kustom TV footage for inclusion in the film and last week I had filed my 2TB drive! Now I am good to go. 

Rats & Gassers File Conversion

More file conversions for my documentary Rats & Gassers: Kustom Kulture Takes A Ride. So much to convert it is amazing how much footage I shot for this film! 

Brorsoft MTS Converter

Been using the Brorsoft MTS Converter program for Mac the last week. Works really well for getting Canon HF-G10 MTS files into usable .mov files for Final Cut Pro. It has a really cool function of combining multiple MTS files into one big file. This is useful as the final Brorsoft converted files still get a prompt from Final Cut Pro about the files not being completely compatible (though they play and render just fine) on the FCP timeline. This means I still have to run the Brorsoft Converted Files through MPEG Streamclip to get the perfect FCP compatible files, but they look and play better than the multi-step process I was using before. 

MPEG Streamclip Conversions

Still converting files for Rats & Gassers: Kustom Kulture Takes A Ride. The GoPro HERO HD clips convert into massive sized .mov files for use in Final Cut Pro. Takes half a day for the computer to convert a longer file. Once these are all done I can place in my FCP timelines and begin editing them down to size.
