As seen on Dragons’ Den, Shoot it yourself are the UK's leading wedding video company. They send their clients the cameras to shoot with but edit the footage for them into a truly personal film of the big day. Managing Director Andrea contacted me because they were interested in moving their editing software from Final Cut Pro to Premiere Pro... |
After a chat on the phone we arranged for me to come in and train Andrea and two of the edit team on how to get up and running. On the day we went through the similarities and differences between the two programs. Having established how a typical SIY project progresses we evaluated what the team needed to know about Premiere Pro. Naturally the editors - Yasmin and Ben - wanted to test their new knowledge for themselves. So I set them up on a live project and let them get stuck in.
Meanwhile Andrea was eager to evaluate how to use Premiere Pro across the whole team and apply it to their established enterprise process. In order to check the viability of this we decided to test the whole procedure from beginning to end. Starting by importing some actual footage from SD cards from their own cameras we performed some edits before encoding this and burning on to a DVD.
On route we compared some of differences including how to access the information hidden in Premiere Pro's extensive Metadata features. Overall we discovered that by making a few tweaks to their existing process the team could make significant time savings.
It is said the only constant is change - so standing still isn’t an option. While change usually involves some initial discomfort it's usually worth it. That rings true in this case because after the training @ShootItYourself tweeted...
