RTF318: PHONE or SCREEN RECORDING WORKFLOW
So you've decided to shoot your Project B on your phone or computer - great. Read through everything below BEFORE shooting to avoid technical issues. THEN, make sure you read through it again AFTER shooting to follow the step by step guide. Use the side outline feature to navigate between the specific workflows. Here we go...
...
Record your screen via Quicktime (Mac) or Game Bar (PC).
Here is a wiki for screen recording via Quicktime (Mac).

NOTE: There are always other tools and software you can use to screen record, but these are some free/included resources on Macs and PCs.

Copy your footage from your computer hard drive to your external hard drive. Put this footage inside the VIDEO folder under PROJECT 3.
Now open Avid Media Composer.
Set up a project (just like we did for Project 2). Follow the instructions at the bottom of this wiki for a quick refresher. NOTE: 1920x1080, 23.976fps. And make sure your project is saved within your PROJECT folder under PROJECT 3 on your hard drive.
Create some organizational bins for your Video, Audio, Titles, etc.
NOW WAIT. DON'T LINK IN YOUR FOOTAGE. DON'T BRING ANYTHING INTO THE PROJECT JUST YET.
Instead of linking footage, we will be IMPORTING. This will ensure a constant frame rate and more friendly editing workflow for you.
Navigate to FILE → INPUT → IMPORT MEDIA (pictured below).
Find your footage within your hard drive (in the VIDEO → RAW folder).
Click on the OPTIONS button at the bottom of the window and make the following changes (pictured below)… CHANGE the resolution to DNxHD 80 and change the TARGET DRIVE to your hard drive's name.
NOTE: The target drive will default to your computer's hard drive. It is VERY IMPORTANT to switch this to your hard drive, ensuring all of your media is there.
OTHER NOTE: When converting this footage, Avid will create a folder called Avid MediaFiles at the root level of your hard drive. DO NOT (under any circumstances) move or rename this folder. This is where all of your converted video files will live. If you do anything to this folder all of your footage will unlink and you'll have a bad time.
Finally, select all of your footage and then click OPEN. Avid will convert all of your footage to a constant frame rate of 23.976 and bring it directly into your project.

Use the same workflow to import your footage into AVID MC first and AVID MC Ultimate shown earlier in this wiki
