I only have 67 clips, later on this summer I will record some exciting stock footage. Anyway, MPEG Streamclip does not recognize .m2ts and .MTS and apparently you need to buy QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component to be able to convert the videos (from what I read). I haven't try that one (and I don't need to) because I use Adobe Media Encoder to convert the .MTS from my camcorder and if necessary, I use MPEG Streamclip. If you don't have Adobe Media Encoder you can use <a href="http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php">Handbreak</a>, an open source cross platform video transcoder. You can convert your .m2ts file into video format .mp4 and video codec MPEG 4. If you have Windows you can use <a href="http://download.cnet.com/Free-HD-Converter/3000-2194_4-11382363.html">Free HD Converter</a>, which is...free. This one is not that fancy, but all you need to be concern is getting the best video and audio quality possible from either of this programs and later convert it to Quicktime using MPEG Streamclip. Video encoding is trail and error, play around until you get it right. There are no perfect video format and codec...just a bunch of them. </p> <p>Hopes this helps</p> <p>PS: Check put my <a href="http://www.pond5.com/artist/SargeHero?ref=SargeHero">Pond 5 portfolio here</a></p> <p>PSS: Answering this question make me realized that I have 5 video converter<br /> programs. I have 5 because if one fails, I have another. If neither of<br /> the 5 works, I ask Google.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/footages-for-pond5-format-problems#post-68164 Sun, 22 May 2011 02:34:53 +0000 Mari 68164@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Hi, my name is Mari. </p> <p>I have Sony HDR-CX155E Handycam (AVCHD), original format .m2ts. I need to learn how to prepare footages for selling in Pond5. The program advised on Pond5 (MPEG Streamclip) does'not recognise .m2ts. I converted it in to .mov. It did not help, I could not play it at all. I tried to download Adobe AE and Premier but they are too big. Please advise me some soft and give some tips on preparing footages for photobanks. </p> <p>Thank you.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/m2ts-file-converter-for-fcp#post-65967 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 22:17:10 +0000 CraftersOfLight 65967@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> AVCHD is a highly compressed LGOP (Long Group Of Pictures) format. An explanation that was given to me by a Panasonic Tech at a video equipment show last year ran like this.</p> <p>The format uses frame 1 as master. Frames 2-15 are data only of the differences from them to frame 1 master. Frame 16 becomes a new frame 1 master for the next group, and so on.</p> <p>He further explained that 60 seconds of a sunset with a fixed position camera would be a much smaller file than 60 seconds of a busy intersection because of the massive data difference between the two scenes. This makes AVCHD a very processor/memory intensive format to natively edit.</p> <p>With that said, any converting or trans-coding of AVCHD creates a file 7-14 times larger than the original based on the transfer codec chosen. Depending on your computer system this can take some time and major storage space.</p> <p>That explains a little about why your converting takes so long and creates such large files. I am not a Mac user but I understand FCP wants to work with ProRes (422) format rather easily so you might want to look in that direction for a trans-code program. There are many Mac users here that might have input on which to use.</p> <p>I am sure that if any information here is in error, others will contribute to correct it.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/m2ts-file-converter-for-fcp#post-65955 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 15:07:07 +0000 Maung Aye Chan 65955@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi All,</p> <p>I'm sratting to convert 380 GB of m2ts files for Final Cut Pro through <strong>iSkysoft iMedia Converter</strong>. It takes extremely long time to complete. For example, 30 GB of m2ts file transfering for FCP takes over 24 hour. Moreover, converted quality also not good even setting in highest quality. (<strong>unacceptable quality for professional</strong>). </p> <p>I don't want to use FCP and iMovie for transfering because of taking many spaces and time-consuming too. <br />&lt;span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"&gt;I record for my documentry film with AG - HMC 41E (AVCHD)</p> <p>Please advice me to solve this problem. And please recommend me too the best software to transfer m2ts file for FCP. I will make a documentary film for various film festival.

If you go into your menu options by hitting the Function key and scroll down to menu from there in the black screen search for AV/Headphones and select headphones. When your in AV mode you will get the buzzing sound when wearing headphones. Once you select for headphones when you go back out you will see an icon at the bottom of your lcd with a pair of headphones. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hf20-export-problem-help-needed#post-50456 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 14:22:43 +0000 J. Jackson 50456@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hey, thanks for the reply. Yeah, after searching around the internet I found the page you linked to.</p> <p>I usually don't use headphones while filming, but I plugged the headphones in and was surprised to hear a loud buzzing noise instead of the video audio. For me, the noise is also heard in photo and dual shot mode. </p> <p>I'm probably missing a step. Will update if I find a solution to this problem.</p> <p>-Josh</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hf20-export-problem-help-needed#post-50452 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 08:32:31 +0000 cuba1902 50452@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have a Canon HF200 Vixia which is similar to yours only that you have onboard memory as well. Lucky you. You should also have a memory stick that you can put into<br /> your computer if you have the slot for it. If not then you can use the usb to connect<br /> to download to your computer. I myself use Sony Vegas and it recognizes mts files so I can edit easily. Premiere CS3 does not support those types of files; however Premiere Pro CS4 does. I found their link here <a href="http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405978.html" rel="nofollow">http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405978.html</a></p> <p>Hope that helps. Now I have a question for you, have you had trouble in movie mode trying to listen to your talent through the use of headphones? For me it only seems to work in photo and dual shot modes, but not in movie mode. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hf20-export-problem-help-needed#post-46804 Thu, 14 May 2009 14:49:22 +0000 J. Jackson 46804@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi, I have a Canon HF20, and the camcorder requires me to use a certain software (Pixela ImageMixer 3) to load my HD footage into the computer. </p> <p>Now, I want to import my footage into Premiere Pro CS3, but am unable to due to "unknown or damaged file format." The file is H.264 format and ends in .m2ts or just .mts. How can I get my footage into Premiere? </p> <p>Thank you for your help.</p> <p> </p> <p>-J.</p> <p> </p>
