Top MXF Converter for PowerDirector – Transcode/Import Canon XF100 MXF files to Cyberlink PowerDirector for editing

How to import Canon XF100 MXF video to Cyberlink PowerDirector for editing?

Although Canon claims that its flavor of MXF is fully supported by major NLE systems including Adobe Premiere, Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer, and Grass Valley EDIUS, we don’t see Cyberlink PowerDirector here. So it’s understandable that PowerDirector refuses to load .mxf shootings from a XF100 camcorder. It does not matter if you’d like to edit Canon .mxf footage in PowerDirector though, as long as you have the Pavtube HD Video Converter software. The Pavtube HD Video Converter software easily converts universal MXF videos originated from Canon XF, Panasonic P2 and Sony XDCAM cams into AVI, MOV, MPG, TS, etc for editing and streaming. To import Canon MXF recordings in Cyberlink PowerDirector, you just need to convert MXF videos to PowerDirector supported video formats, like AVI, MKV, MP4, MOV, MPEG, VOB, WMV, etc.

Before conversion you need to

1. Transfer the .mxf clips to hard disk.

2. Get Pavtube HD Video Converter. The program now is on sale at the company’s site through Nov. 22, 2011 if you choose this option.

Step 2. Click on “Format” and choose a preferable format. The HD Video Converter for Cyberlink PowerDirector can convert MXF to AVI, MP4, MPG, MOV, TS and more formats. H.264 .mov format is recommended as PowerDirector can load MOV files instantly.

Transcode Panasonic AJ HPX300 P2 MXF files to AIC for FCE Editing on Mac OS X Lion

The Panasonic AJ HPX300 P2 Camcorder is a 1/3″ CMOS camera featuring full resolution 1920×1080 chips. The P2 card is a new solid state recording media that Panasonic developed to bridge the gap between information technology and professional video. About the same size as a PC card, the P2 card stores large amounts of video and audio data in MXF-format files.

It is a common sense to Final Cut Express users that video shootings should be ingested to FCE from Log and Transfer window. However, this doesn’t work with the Panasonic AJ HPX300 P2 which recorded MXF files. There is solution, of course, to help you transfer MXF footage to Final Cut Express. The next few steps will show you how to do with Sony XDCAM, Panasonic P2 series and Canon MXF shootings (taken with Canon XF100, XF300, or XF305), before importing the Panasonic AJ HPX300 P2HD footage to Final Cut Express.

Before processing, you’re suggested to

1. Transfer the .mxf clips from Panasonic AG-HPX300 P2 card to Mac computer.

2. Install Pavtube MXF to FCE Converter for Mac os x Lion (Recommended, now on sale at the company’s site through Nov. 22, 2011 if you choose this option.). (more…)

Mac M2T to ProRes Converter-Converting M2T footage to Apple ProRes codec for Final Cut Pro/Studio editing

Filed under: Convert FLV — Tags: apple prores codec for final cut pro, avchd mts converter for mac, convert mts to fcp on mac, converting MTS to Apple ProRes 422 for FCP, mac mts to fcp converter, mts converter mac, mts to final cut, MTS to ProRes, mts to prores converter for mac, transcode mts to prores — admin @ 8:53 pm

How to convert MTS to Apple ProRes codec for Final Cut Pro/Studio?

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 convert MTS files to Apple ProRes format for Final Cut Pro(FCP) on Mac?

Recommend you Pavtube AVCHD MTS 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 MTS Convert 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 ProRes422 Codec as output format.

Click on “Format” bar when you’d like to specify an output format. Apple ProRes 422 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 transfer mts to prores codec.After conversion you can click the “Open” button to locate converted files and log ProRes 422 codec video files 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 MTS 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.
