The impossible task

Last few days I've finally got some time to go through the footage I brought home from Kenya last month. First I calculated that there should be about 6 hours of mostly slow motion footage, but I was wrong. The reality is that there was almost 9 hours of footage in 490 clips :) Because 98% of the footage is shot in 10x slow motion, the clips are usually few seconds over minute(FS700 has 8secs real time buffer for 240fps).

It's quite easy to go through the footage in Prelude, but the 490 clips won't make it a fast job :)

So I made some investigation what would be the smartest way to get this project running. I wanted to be prepared, ready and able to start the logging for the clips. I have used Adobe Premiere Pro for quite long time, but I'm not too excited to handle this amount of clips in Premiere. I needed a Lightroom for video. Enter Adobe Prelude. It was just right time to attend the Adobe Create Now World Tour in Helsinki. Got some great tips and tricks from +Jason Levine about Prelude, Speedgrade and Premiere. Only problem was that I needed to re-wrap the .mts files to .mp4 in order to work properly in Prelude. Now it seems that sub clipping and logging descriptions is gonna take a while to finish, but once it's done I have only the good clips and the best parts of them to work with. Then I'll do a rough cut and figure out how I'm going to make the slomo interesting enough to watch for few minutes :)
