Convert JVC Everio MTS/MOD/TOD footages to editable format with flawless quality


“I have a JVC HD620 Camcorder. But when I import JVC video to Premiere Pro CS4 for editing,I failed. Now i am wondering how do I convert this file without any quality loss to be able to edit within Premiere Pro CS4?

The JVC Everio cameras/camcorders, like GZ-HD620, GZ-HD500, GZ-HM300 etc, shoot at full HD (1920×1080) in MTS or TOD format, which are rejected by most editing software, and you have to convert them to common and editable format before importing to non-linear editing application. Although all the Everio models come with software that allows you to do some simple editing, turns out to be helpless if you want to transcode the footages with it. You got to seek other application to deal with these HD files. The en-decoding process, as we all know, will definitely leads to quality loss of the video. You can hardly expect the converted video clip as perfect as the original footages. Is there any software that can convert MTS file to be editable and keep the original video quality? Well, Pavtube JVC HD Camcorder Video Converter is worth trying.

Eidit MTS with FCP-Convert mts files to FCP and import mts to FCP for editing

Filed under: Camcorder-Video-Tips — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , — admin @ 10:59 pm

ProRes 422 is a standard-definition and high-definition lossy video compression format developed by Apple Inc. for use in post production. It was introduced in 2007 with Final Cut Studio 2 and is comparable to Avid’s DNxHD codec which has the same purpose and uses similar bit rates. Both are DCT based intra-frame-only codecs, and are therefore simpler to decode than distribution oriented formats like H.264.

How to Import and Edit MTS to Final Cut Pro on Mac?

Recommend you Pavtube AVCHD Convert for Mac. With this AVCHD camcorder MTS files Converter, you can transfer MTS files to Apple ProRes422,4444 for FCP, AIC(Apple Intermediate Codec) for Final Cut Express, QuickTime Movie format like DVCPRO HD, DV-PAL, DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, DVCPRO-PAL, DVCPRO50-PAL,DVCPRO50-NTSC, Avid DN*HD format for editing smoothly and other popular format like mov,mp4 ect.

Step 1. Install and run Pavtube AVCHD Converter for Mac and Log MTS files to this mts converter.
Click on “Add” to import source files, browse to the drive and click “Choose”. You do not have to open the any of the folders. In preview window you could view the video and take snapshots. When the box of Merge into one is checked, all selected videos will be combined together as one output file after conversion.

You can click “Edit” button to perform edit functions such as crop, trim, flip, effect, watermark and audio replace. To eliminate interlacing effect, simply check Deinterlacing box under Effect tab.

Step 2: Set Apple ProRes 422 Codec as output format.
Click on “Format” bar when you’d like to specify an output format. Apple ProRes422 can be found in.

Click “Settings”, if you want to further customize video and audio parameters such as video codec, audio codec, frame rate, bit rate, video size, audio channels etc. Do not forget to click on “OK” to confirm your settings. In Export box you could specify destination for the converted file.

Step 3: Start converting MTS to Apple ProRes 422 for FCP.
Click on “Convert” button to start Convert MTS to Apple ProRes.

After conversion, you can click the “Open” button to locate converted files and Log and Transfer ProRes 422 video to FCP, Final Cut Studio.

PS: While Final Cut does not edit AVCHD natively, it is still a simple procedure to utilize the AVCHD footage. In Final Cut you would open your log and transfer window and import the footage as ProRes 422 which, while it creates larger files, is a great codec to edit with and I do so with most everything.I suggest you purchsed Pavtube AVCHD Convert for Mac, because compressor is very slow and Final Cut handle AVCHD files when it finds them in their original file structure (either by connecting the camcorder or using a memory card reader), not isolated .mts files.You don’t need the biggest and best Mac Pro and just either Final Cut Studio 2 or 3 will do just fine. I would suggest having a minimum of 4 gigs of ram which is the most FCP can utilize anyway at this point.

Camcorder and FCP X-Ingest/import Camcorder Media (HD footage and Projects) to FCP X for editing

Filed under: Canon — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , — admin @ 10:40 pm

Importing video files and projects into Final Cut Pro X

Though Apple claims Final Cut Pro X “a revolutionary new version of the world’s most popular Pro video editing software”, we see more negative reviews than positive ones since the release of Final Cut Pro X version 1.0. There has been a ton of complaints regarding Final Cut Pro X. It has been accused of “Apple’s biggest mistake” (by Kevin Hall) and “ruining everything”. It is understandable that a 1.0 release is difficult and not every feature can be added. However, the biggest problem is that Final Cut Pro 7 support ended. Final Cut Pro 7, which is for now the better product, will be going away. This urged me to move to FCP X, which I find later is very different from FCP 7. Here’re some tips for those who feel like to give a shoot to FCP X, mainly about importing media to Final Cut Pro X for Camcorder and FCP X editing.

1. Log and Transfer is replaced with Import From Camera for loading Camcorder Media to FCP X

In Final Cut Pro 7 we choose “File > Log and Transfer” to ingest/import HD footage/Projects from a digital camcorder. In Final Cut Pro X the thing is different, because there’s no Log and Transfer option. To load a tapeless recording media from camcorder or import video files to Final Cut Pro X, you need to follow “File > Import From Camera…” instead. Apple has added a page for user to check whether their cameras are supported by FCP X, which is helpful. Click to learn Final Cut Pro X Supported Cameras.

2. iMovie project is supported, but FCP 7 project is not.
The funny thing about new is that no matter what the Madison Avenue folks think, the first thing we associate with “new” isn’t “improved,” it’s “different.” The lack of support for importing projects to Final Cut Pro 7 clearly shows us how “different” FCP X is.The good thing is now you can import iMovie project and medias from iMovie Event Library.

3. Be compatible with iPad 2 and SD card.
It is not surprising that Apple added iPad 2, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and iPod touch 4 to the support list of FCP X. But I find FCP X performs really FAST when importing and editing MP4 videos. And FCPX will import a memory card in the background, allowing you to edit the footage directly from the card and then replace it seamlessly with the media on the hard disk once the transfer is complete. I think this is a great idea.

4. Import errors? Unsupported file types?
People have been reporting load errors with FCP X in Apple forum. I had received error message when tying to import .mxf clips taken with my Canon XF105 to Final Cut Pro X. FCP X should work with AVCHD videos but the .mts files also turned gray when I tried to importing .mts files to FCP X. Maybe I missed something here, but after importing and transcoding Media from Camera to Apple ProRes 422 codec the videos are loaded to Final Cut X instantly (without rendering). The codec pack I used for transcoding- Camcorder Media to FCP X Converter for Mac.

Anyway, Final Cut Pro X is here, probably to stay, which is good because it is a good product that will continue to get better. So, use the new app and be ready for the day when Final Cut Pro X become matured enough to be a viable replacement.
