Rosegill



These are home movies, beginning in 1939 with movies that Father took with his 16mm movie camera and then with other family movies taken with 8mm movies, then VHS camcorders, and now we're all into iPhones.

I've had the old movies digitized and I'm now in the process of importing them into Final Cut Pro X (FCP) and editing them. I really don't know where all this will end up, whether we will have a DVD, put these on YouTube, add music tracks, etc. But this is a first step.

I am very interested in any suggestions you may have.

This is a lengthy process.

The first step is to import the raw footage into FCP, then crop the images so it takes off garbage on the edges of the screen.

Next step is to cut the 'film strip' into individual clips that can be moved around and edited separately.

I've been eliminating too-dark clips, and often scenes of landscapes (Hawaii mountains, harvesting sugar cane, pineapples, etc).

I can edit the color of the clips to improve the image, but there are real limitations on what you can do with poor image quality.

Rather than send emails to everyone with individual links to the movies, I've decided to bring it all together, so all you need to do is to bookmark this page.

The title for the original movie is marked summer 1940, but EPS clearly remembers
leaving Fred and Mary Buford at Royal Orchard, so this is a 1941 movie.
