******COMPATIBILITY ISSUE******

After looking through the clips we had achieved yesterday, we tried to begin the editing process. When trying to import the clips into Final Cut Pro we found that the file type that the camera had converted the videos into was not compatible with Final Cut Pro which shocked us both as we initially thought that we would have to re-film everything. At first, we tried to get a solution from the IT technician who was too 'busy' at the time to help. However, we thought that there had to be a way around this issue and set about searching the internet for a solution. We found a video on YouTube which instructed us to download a third party application called "HandBrake" in order to convert the format of the clips from a ".MTS" to a ".MP4" for the clips to be compatible with Final Cut Pro. After downloading the software on a personal laptop and testing the effectiveness of how it converted the videos, we decided that the end quality was of a high enough standard to use in our final video which meant I had to individually convert each clip we did which was very time consuming and delayed the editing process. Even though there has been a slight decrease in video quality, which is very barely noticeable, we hope this issue does not have a detrimental impact on our final product. A positive we can draw from this experience would be how it highlights our resilience and shows how we handle unexpected issues under pressure to resolve them as quickly as possible in order to continue the project to meet the set deadline.
