They would then ship the tapes or drives back to our facility where staff would transfer the footage to Final Cut Server. It would take us a day just to see it, then another three or four hours to add all the metadata so the editors could get to work. Once the editing was done we would output from

It was also made clear to us that no specific product versions or release dates were being discussed, and that we couldn’t re

It turns out that your still camera actually works better than an HD video camera for creating gorgeous time-lapse photography. Marco Solorio tells you how to put it all together.
