Import MTS File To Final Cut Pro X with AVCHD converter for mac

"My camera records .mts but it's proving to me a pain in the ***...?

when wanting to edit it. I tried to edit something small in final cut pro x but it wouldn't read it and even after all the converting I tried to do it didn't work properly. Now I'm trying in premiere pro CS5 and it reads it but it lags like crazy. Is there any way to put this in one of the two editing software and have it run smoothly?"

MTS and M2TS are both file extensions for the high definition digital video camera recorder format, AVCHD (Advanced Video Codec High Definition). AVCHD was jointly established by Sony Corporation and Panasonic Corporation in 2006 for use in their digital tapeless camcorders.

The AVCHD format records video using the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video codec, and audio in Dolby AC-3. Other than the video and audio codecs, AVCHD also contains menu navigation, slide shows and subtitles. The menu navigation allows access to individual videos from a common intro screen, the slide shows consists of a sequence of AVC still frames accompanied by background audio track, and the subtitles are used to timestamp recordings.

For many mac users they really would like to purchase Final Cut Pro X but they would like to check one thing: if Final Cut Pro X will import .MTS AVCHD files. We understand the methods of importing into Final Cut but I don't know if FC will work with these files. The truth comes that.

Final Cut Pro X contains improved, but not complete AVCHD support

Keep in mind that we can't import .mts files directly from the Finder. If you navigate to them from the Import dialog, it will have them grayed out. FCPX doesn't work with them directly, you must import MTS files directly from the camera, from a memory card (with the original file structure in place), or from a camera archive. But having to use camera archives is stupid.

The real way to import .MTS to Final Cut Pro X

We just need a way with no require with ingest supported with additional software and no use camera archives method. So the AVCHD to FCPX Converter is recommended for you, with this you can achive the mts final cut pro x convertion. It's designed directly to convert AVCHD.MTS (1080p60/50 included)to FCPX supported formats MP4, MOV, DV. So no matter the AVCHD files are single .MTS files or directly from your camera, you can transfer it to FCPX compatible formats and directly import it to FCPX.

Guide on converting Canon EOS 550D video to fcp

High-definition video capture has rapidly become a must-have feature in this year's digital SLRs, with advanced amateurs and budget-minded professionals alike excited by the possibility of using the same camera body and lenses for both still and movie shooting. Most digital SLR video modes to date have had limitations in terms of control and output formats that have tempered this excitement somewhat, however.

The Canon Rebel T2i's includes similar video functionality to that of Canon's semi-pro EOS 7D model, with an unusually robust feature set that gives the photographer more control over their movies, as well as the ability to record audio from an external source. Both shutter and aperture are available for manual control, and the T2i also provides multiple frame rate options, including three that match the HD television timing specs. Unlike most digital SLR video modes including the EOS 7D, the Canon T2i caters to advanced amateurs by allowing continuous autofocus during video recording, albeit with AF noise clearly picked up by the T2i's internal microphone. Pros will likely want to control focus manually regardless, but amateurs will need to decide whether the convenience of AF is worth the drawbacks.

Video Capture
Movie Mode:Yes
Movie Resolution:1920x1080, 1280x720, 640x480
Movie Frame Rate: 30/25/24, 60/50, 60/50

"Can a Canon EOS 550D record HD video straight to computer?

Have a review of Sony Alpha DSLR-A350

With its 14-megapixel CCD, flip-up LCD, sensor-shift image stabilizer, and built-in wireless flash controller, the feature-packed Sony Alpha DSLR-A350 seems like a cornucopia of photographic goodness for the budget shopper. And you wouldn't be far off the mark: there's a lot to like in the A350, and I suspect it will garner its share of fans. Unsurprisingly, however, Sony made some compromises so that the A350 could lay claim to the title of highest-resolution budget dSLR. Sony does offer an almost identical 10-megapixel model, the Alpha DSLR-A300, which lists for about $200 less.

Sony offers the A350 in three packages: body only, a kit with the SAL-1870 18-70mm f3.5-5.6 lens, which we tested, and a dual-lens kit that adds the SAL-55200 55-200mm f4-5.6 model. Those two lenses, plus the 75-300mm SAL-75300, currently comprise Sony's complete entry-level lens lineup. For other inexpensive alternatives you'll have to turn to compatible A-mount Konica Minolta, Sigma, or Tamron offerings.

A bit heavy at 1 pound, 8-plus ounces, the solid A350 has a solid, rubbery grip that's very comfortable to hold, and the extra heft makes it feel more substantial than competitors such as the Canon EOS Rebel XSi. Another positive aspect of the extra weight: it doesn't get overbalanced when using accessories like the HVL-F42AM I tested it with.

The good: Sensor-shift image stabilization; useful Live View implementation with flip-up LCD.

The bad: Kit lens could be better; mixed performance; small viewfinder; interface annoyances.

The bottom line: Unless you're prepared to spend a disproportionate amount of money on a really good lens, the resolution bump offered by the Sony Alpha DSLR-A350 isn't worth the price.

Take a look at iriver

IRiver is a brand name for portable mp3 (digital) sound recorders.
Portable digital sound recorders are like "tape-less" dictaphones which can be used for dictation or recording sound for later use within presentations or to create "podcasts".

iriver's current products can all play MP3 and WMA audio files. Some units support text viewing, Ogg Vorbis audio files, Macromedia Flash, and/or BMP files. The company also supports Microsoft PlaysForSure, which allows recent products to support subscription-based music download services, including URGE, Napster, Rhapsody, and Yahoo! Music Unlimited.It also lets users disable its DRM functionality.

A nearly unique feature of the newer iriver players is the direct MP3-recording capability with selectable bitrate of internal (FM, microphone) and external (line) sources.

Most iriver players include a unique feature called study mode. Users can quickly jump back and forth within tracks by a certain time interval, set from three to 180 seconds in current models.The option was designed to help people listening to recorded language lessons.SonicBlue removed this feature from its Rio Volt models, causing some users to hack their players with iriver firmware from other regions.

Samsung HMX-H104 an AVC camcorder

The H104 isn’t an AVCHD camera but its video specifications are very similar. Video is recorded at resolutions up to 1,920x1,080 at 25fps in AVC format, just like cameras bearing the AVCHD logo. Audio is recorded in AAC rather than Dolby Digital format, but the quality of these two formats is indistinguishable.
The most surprising aspect of the HMX20 was its massive CMOS sensor. At 1/1.8in, it's still the largest in any consumer camcorder, and the 6.4-megapixel resolution was also market leading at the time of release. In contrast, the H104 and its siblings sport a much more modest 1/4.5in CMOS sensor with just 2.2-megapixels. Samsung still promises 4.7-megapixel still images, at 2,880 x 1,620, but this is clearly with a hefty dollop of interpolation, even if the end results are satisfactory for a camcorder.

A similar array of shooting resolutions and qualities are available to the HMX20. The top resolution is 1,920 x 1,080 Full HD, operating at 25 interlaced frames per second. But you can also record at 1,280 x 720 and 720 x 576 with 50 progressive frames per second. You can shoot time lapse footage, too, with one frame recorded every 1, 3 or 5 seconds for up to 72 hours at a resolution of 1,280 x 720. However, the slow motion options offered by the HMX20 have been left out. There are three quality settings, with the top Super Fine mode allowing around two hours of Full HD footage within the 16GB storage. There's also an SDHC slot if you need a bit more capacity.
Video quality from the Samsung HMX-H104 is very good. In good light, the detail and color is outstanding and I couldn't ask for much more. The Schneider lens does a great job of delivering low disortion images with great color temperature. One shortcoming of this video camera, as well as all others in it's category, is that the small sensor makes the depth of field very great. Good for getting everything in focus, but bad if you want to get a subject in focus and the background blurred. A much larger sensor is needed to create this effect.

Tutorials on burning video to dvd on mac

".... Ive recently just bought a mac and have no idea how to burn cd/dvds.
What program do i use?"

The process couldn't be easier. For this tutorial, you will need a blank DVD-R or DVD-RW.
Before you get started, you should first check to assure that your Mac has a drive capable of burning DVD discs. Chances are good that it does.

The majority of recent Apple computer's were manufactured with Apple's Super Drive burners, which are capable of burning both CDs and DVDs. However, Apple did sell some computer's that had a Combo Drive, which was only capable of burning CDs.

To check to see what kind of drive you have, start by clicking the Apple logo in the upper left hand corner of the screen. Select the first option, About This Mac, from the drop down menu.

The About This Mac window should now be open. Click the More Info… button to open up the system profiler. Once the system profiler opens up, select Disc Burning from the left hand side Hardware drop down menu.

This should bring up information about your Mac's drive. Look for the section that looks like this:
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RW
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
If you see the DVD-Write part, your Mac is capable of burning DVDs.

Now, on to the DVD burning. Start by creating a new burn folder on your Mac's desktop. To do so, right click in some empty space on the desktop and select New Burn Folder from the quick menu.
If you do not see an option for New Burn Folder, you are probably running Snow Leopard. If this is the case, just select New Folder instead. Rename the folder to your liking.

Go ahead and insert your blank DVD into your Mac's Super Drive, if you have not yet done so.
It's now time to add some content to burn to the DVD. Locate a file/files that you would like to put on the DVD. If you are using a standard recordable DVD, you will be able to add up to 4.5GB of information.
Add your files to the folder that you just created by dragging them over the folder, and dropping them in. After you have your files added, double click the folder to open it up.

The final step to burning a DVD on a Mac is to start the burn. If you are using Snow Leopard, click the icon that looks like a gear, from within the folder, to activate the drop down menu. Select Burn “Your folder name” To Disc from the drop down menu.
If you are using an earlier version of OS X, such as Tiger, you should have created a burn folder rather than a regular folder. To start burning your DVD, simply click the Burn button, located in the upper right hand corner of the window.

That's all there is to it. Now all you have to do is wait for your DVD to finish burning. That's how you burn files to DVD on a Mac.
