So, we've shot video on 18 cameras. On an all-day shoot, that can sometimes mean up to 10-12gb per camera - hope you folks have a spare hard drive or two.

Here are my goals for this next step:

Transfer all video files to an external hard drive Sort and rename all video files Sync video files in Adobe Premiere Render sample frames from Adobe After Effects Use sample frames to create a 2D and a 3D sample panorama

I'll use this final sample panorama to judge the quality of the shot, as well as identify any potential trouble spots (actors too close to the camera, lens flares, etc).

I thought it would be nice to show you guys the process step-by-step, and so I cover steps 2-5 in the YouTube video linked below. First, however, we need to copy over all our footage.

To get started, I transfer the footage from each camera into a corresponding subfolder - Cam01's footage goes into folder 01, and so on. I quickly look through the folders to ensure I have the expected number of files, deleting any unplanned extras and noting any missing files (if I didn't double check my cameras were recording on set).

From here, just check out the YouTube video:
