Tape and Cases: We firstly find a blank case and tape which we can then put out content onto. Secondly we upload the footage by putting it on a computer by DV Tape Up loader which transfers the footage onto your computer. Labelling: Make sure the case and tape are both plain so that you don’t overwrite somebody else's tape. Then once you discover this you can then name and label. Uploading: When uploading footage you need to able to find an sd card reader for after you have taken the photos. After which you then put the card reader into the usb and let the footage upload onto either your hardrive or usb. If the file is corrupt you might want to delete it and try again. Backing up: An easy way of backing up could be just to re save under a different file name. Or you could back up onto a blank disk which is practically like using a usb. Renaming: To rename a file you put your mouse across the layer or file you want to select and then right click till you see a scroll bar saying to rename. You click it and then you end up choosing an appropriate name choice.
