Thanks for the awesome tutorial. Helped me out tremendously. By the way, what NLE did you cut this on? Cheers!

@LarryTheEditor Most of the editing is done in Final Cut

Had you transferred your data (as suggested at 0:57) or installed an operating system onto the new hard drive? If so, check your connections and make sure the drive, memory, and keyboard connections are fully seated. For further assistance, contact our technical support department at 1(800)275-4576 option 2
