I have been recording in HD, PF30 fxp and using my MBP to import them into iMovie to edit, publish via media browser and then put in DVD via iDVD. Questions - so, i have been recording my son and daughter's HS basketball games on a Canon Vixia HF M40 which stores them as you say in. Help for my Video Home/Personal Production Hopefully this helps those with using mts/m2ts video files.

Most demo versions (except ffmpegx and handbrake) will only transcode a short portion (1-10 minutes) of the full video, but that should give you enough to judge quality and audio.

(I should note, I have nothing to do with these people or their site, I only purchased their software after trying it).Īs with any tool, I'd strongly suggest trying the demo version on a variety of test footage first to see how (if) it will perform for you. I use it for my Hauppage footage and it has worked extremely well for me - I have it take the footage and generate mov containing ProRES footage. My personal preference *right now* is clip wrap (I have purchased licensed versions of Toast, VoltaicHD and ClipWrap at various times in my video life on OSX).

There are some other options that I'm sure some people will pop on to suggest, but I figured this would be a good starter for those that either don't know or have recently switched from Windows based solutions where the workflow is different. Handbrake is more geared to distribution conversion, not edit conversion. You do have some options:ĥ) Handbrake ( HandBrake )- the current version will convert many m2ts/ts/mts to m4v, but the files are not necessarily edit friendly and may require additional transcoding for fluid editing work (ie: you may be able to import the footage but you may find you have to do a lot of rendering unless you transcode it to something more edit friendly). You can use Handbrake, but you won't have a lot of fun editing unless you transcode a second time to get it from Handbrakes H.264 output into an edit codec. Normally one would suggest using MPEGStreamClip - but it doesn't like some of those containers. m2ts files (ie: Hauppage HDPVR) - to use these files you'll need to transcode them first. Second: Now this is for if you have already copied the streams out or are using a device that only produces the. If you have iMovie, you may need to copy the folder off onto an SDHC card prior to attempting to import - I don't use iMovie enough to know if you can point it to a folder to find an AVCHD structure. If you have FCP or FCE you can direct Log and Transfer to look in those folders. Usually I tend to create container folders to make sense of the footage so it might be like:

For example - if your SDHC card contains a Private folder under which all of the folders exist, copy the private folder to a HD with free space on your system. If you want to back up your master footage, copy the ENTIRE AVCHD folder structure to another folder on your system. The editor will automagically import and transcode the footage from the distribution codec (AVCHD structure usually storing H.264 video) into an editing codec (Apple Intermediate Codec or ProRES). Instead, connect the camcorder to your computer and run your editor (FCE, FCP or iMovie) and import the footage that way. I thought it might be a good time to note on this topic in the hopes that people searching may find this solution.įirst: If you are taking footage from an AVCHD camera that stores its files in an AVCHD structure, DO NOT take the actual stream files out of their folders. This is probably one of the most common video conversion topics I've seen on the boards here since I first started posting.
