The emergence of Canon DSLR video has been a triumph and a struggle for wannabe Steven Spielberg’s, me included. The triumph is the undoubted quality of the image, and the creative avenues opened up by the wide variety of lenses available.
The struggle includes the introduction of so much new terminology, so many new ways to be creative and to fail miserably, and the inevitable havoc caused to well established workflows with the introduction of video. This post outlines my efforts to arrive at something resembling a usable workflow for video, using MPEG Streamclip, Adobe Premiere Pro, and YouTube.
