I've just got myself a Contour Roam2 camera for filming my exploits on my motorbike.
I'm just wondering what you recommend in terms of organising the files from the camera before editing?
The first few times I plugged the camera in I imported the videos into iPhoto which worked fine (I wasn't planning on editing them yet as they where just tester videos)
When I found something that I wanted to edit I opened up iMovie and looked in the 'iPhoto Videos' section, at this point it told me that it needed to do something to the files so that they would work properly. (Something to do with thumbnails I think?)
Since then any files I have imported to iPhoto are not showing up in iMovie and I cant figure out how to get them there either.
It all seems a bit clunky and I don't know the best way to organise my files.
I've tried importing straight into iMovie but it takes forever so I think it might better only doing that when I know there is definitely something on the camera that I want to use.
Any suggestions on best ways to organise my stuff with the quickest way to access it in iMovie?
What do you guys do with your files?
Thanks
