Well, I’m not a video professional but I do run into chopping some videos together every now and then for work. I also am looking for a clean workflow to downsize the source videos so I can archive them. I’m looking for some advice on workflow and how to achieve the desired results. Money is not really an issue with software as most of this is for work and I have a decent budget to do these types of things. I also have access to some nice machines to crunch the videos.

I am basically looking for an easy workflow that does a few things:
1. Be able to transfer these videos in the correct aspect ratio into a much smaller WMV container that can be streamed on our intranet for work
2. Be able to easily transfer these videos into a little smaller container for archiving, so they take up about half to 1/3 the space

The following tutorial will guide you through how to import MTS footage to Pinnacle Studio Ultimate friendly format using Pavtube AVCHD MTS to Pinnacle Studio Converter. You can download AVCHD MTS to Pinnacle Studio Converter (trial version) for trial.I really liked how Pavtube trial version provided full access to the functions of the software. It allowed me to test the conversion quality.

Step 1. Import MTS to AVCHD to Pinnacle Studio Converter.
Transfer .mts files from camcorder to computer via USB cable. Run Pavtube AVCHD MTS to Pinnacle Studio Converter as the best MTS converter, and click the “Add” button to load .mts videos.

You can also choose MPEG, MP4, DV as output format, which are available in Common Video, HD Video and DV tab of MTS AVCHD to Pinnacle Studio converter. The converter also works with AVCHD footages shoot by various AVCHD camcorders, like Panasonic TM700, Sony HDR-CX110, Canon HF S200, and so on.

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

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.
