Could you recommend what to convert .mts to for FCP

I am cutting my first HD project, so apologies for my gaps in knowledge ahead of time...
I am cutting footage that was supplied to me as .mts files (native to the camera). These were given to me on a drive, so I do not have the camera. My question is what do you recommend I convert these file to for cutting in Final Cut Pro 7 (Final Cut Studio 3).
I am using iSkysoft Video Converter. I can do it as .mp4, which makes for smaller files (about 4GB)... I can also do ProRes 422, which makes large files (about 32 GB). When I do a visual a/b look at these, there are very finite difference in the detail, but not enough to matter for this particular project. Therefore, what do people recommend that will cut the best in FCP?
Also, when I import into FCP, do I still go with DV-NTSC for the main setting in FCP Easy Setup? Or? Eventually will be out-putting this for a friend that will burn onto a blu-ray.
Thank you in advance for helping bring me into the modern, Hi-Def world of editing!

ProRes 422. or ProRes LT if that option is available. It's about 2/3 the size of 422. FCP does not work with MP4 files. It might APPEAR to, but issues will arise.
And no, you do NOT use DV/NTSC. That's an SD format, and you are working with HD. Just make a sequence, add a clip to that sequence and click YES when FCP asks if you want it to match the clip settings.

I am working through a tutorial based on Illustrator CS6, but I am using CS5. The tutorial requests that I open "Image Trace" but I don't see this function on CS5... please could you advise what the equivalent tool would be? Thank you!

I think in CS5, it was called "Live-Trace." Whatever it's called, it should become available on the options panel (the context-sensitive control panel at the top) when you select a trace-eligible raster image on your artboard.

Could you recommend gaming notebook?

Hi,
I was wondering could you recommend gaming notebook My requirements:
- 17,3"
- Matt display with good luminance/contrast
- i5 or i7 processor
- good Nvidia graphics
- support for ATA password (HDD password) and/or eDrive BitLocker
- HDD would be exchanged with M550
MSI GE70 2OE would be almost ideal for me but unfortunately it seems it doesn't support ATA password and I am afraid also eDrive wouldn't work with it...
Price does matter!

When I got it, it came with the TB HDD option with the 8GB SSC. Eventually I would like to upgrade to Crucial's TB MX200 SSD, but for the moment I can't really justify it. However, something I am looking at doing in the near future is upgrading the stock 8GB to the 16GB Ballistix kit located here:http:// www. crucial. com/ usa/ en/ ideapad- y510p/ CT5801981 I'm really looking forward to the RAM upgrade! Usually I'm a very patient indiviual but I'm finding it hard right now haha! So far as the heat is concermed, I've experienced the same issues. General use isn't that bad, but when I've been gaming for a couple of hours it does start to get uncomfortably hot. My previous cooling pad's USB connector busted, but my girlfriend got me a cheap replacement from Wal-Mart and it's been working marvelously. As soon as I start feeling it get warm I plug in the cooling pad and the issue is gone. The cooling pad I am currently using is lcoated here: http:// www. walmart. com/ ip/ Onn- Laptop- Cooling- Pad/ 16794998

Convert mts files for editing in Final Cut?

Is there a way to convert mts files for editing in Final Cut Express or Pro?

Well, first, if you are talking about AVCHD video, FCE & FCP can directly import it from your camcorder. They will also import AVCHD from an SD card or even your hard drive provided you have saved the entire AVCHD folder structure, not just the .mts files by themselves.
If you only have the .mts files (without the surrounding AVCHD folder strucutre) then you should be able to use MPEG Streamclip to convert them to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec for editiing in FCE. MPEG Streamclip is free and works great.
If that doesn't work, then look into ClipWrap, which has a $49.99 price tag.
This will work the same for converting .mts files to ProRes assuming you already have FCP installed, which gives you the ProRes codec.
FCE & FCP do not, however, directly import video from DSLRs because the camera manufacturers have each done some proprietary stuff in their implementation of video in their DSLRs. However, if you have a Canon DSLR & FCP (that is, FCP 7) there is a Canon EOS video plugin that will enable you import the video directly from the DSLR into FCP7. Not sure it's supported on Lion (10.7.x) just yet, but if you have a Canon DSLR it's worth a look.

Could you recommend a dual phone (VOIP and landlin...

Hi,
I want to buy a dual phone to use it for landline calls and for Skype (credit and a monthly credit). Could anyone recommend a phone that works well?
I´ve read some phones have problems either with the landline reception or using skype monthly payments.
Thanks

Brendan made the personal decision to not only step down from CEO but to also leave Mozilla. This has lead to some individuals and article writers assuming he was fired or forced to resign.
I get the feeling that you came to the (wrong) conclusion that Mozilla only found out about his support prop 8 donation (made in 2008) after he went from CTO to CEO and the board then must have fired or forced him out after. This is not true as Mozilla knew about this donation since March 2012 due to a article that was written at time. Thanks to California law where such donations require name, employer and it be public record somebody found it and wrote about then. If the board did not support Brendan for who he is then perhaps he would not have been made CEO right?
You should keep using Firefox as Brendan Eich would want that and because Mozilla did not fire nor forced him out.
In fact he could probably come back to working at Mozilla in some role if he wanted to as the Mozilla board encouraged him to stay in some capacity when he chose to leave.
Chris Ilias made a long post about what happened and the support that Mozilla and people at Mozilla have for Brendan. Was going to quote it here but the forum software does not quote very well.

Could you recommend me a JDBC connetion POOL?

Hello,
I need a JDBC connection POOL for my web project. But I dont know which is best to choose.
Is "proxool" be the best?
Could you give me some idea?
Thanks a lot!

Sorry, I've forget the requirements.
I think it should be fast and stable, well documented, and can be intergered in tomcat5.5 slidely(means not have too much change in the servlet code)
Thank you very much!

How do you know what the data usage was for and why? It shows you date and usage but not the reason.

How can you see what data usage was for on the bill? It only shows the date and usage but not the reason for the usage.

You can not see this info on VZW's site. There are apps for smartphones that will break down the info though, but by site or what was downloaded

Converting through PavTube for FCP 5

I just purchased and downloaded the PavTube HD Video Converter for Mac. I shot video with a Canon Rebel T3i and saved the footage in a folder. I then uploaded it to the PavTube Converter, chose Apple ProRes 422, and tried to convert, but I received this error:
The current profile requires FCP 6 (or above versions) to be pre-installed.
I have Final Cut Pro 5. Is there any way to make this work? I really need FCP to work with this footage because the raw footage going directly into FCP is VERY slow and requires lots of time-consuming rendering.
What do I do???
Thanks!

Sorry, FCP 5 doesn't do ProRes. ProRes was introduced with FCP 6...so yeah, you pretty much have to have FCP 6 or 7 in order to work with ProRes. FCP 5 won't even WORK with ProRes footage. The options for FCP 5 are DVCPRO HD (that's anamorphic HD...not full raster like ProRes, but what you have)...or uncompressed HD. But that requires very fast hard drives to play back. DVCPRO HD is your best bet if you are stuck on FCP 5.
Editing the raw footage is NEVER recommended in FCP.

HT1338 what i bought a mac book pro, i would assume that it will be able to play a movie on a VCD format. i'm back in bangkok thailand now and if you recommend what simple program I could use so my macbook Pro will be able to read VCD formats.

Dear Sir/ Madam,
I have bought this apple power bookin 2011 with the best options they have. Now that i'm done with my studying,i am currently working in Bangkok. the compputer seems to read DVD formats fine but somehow movies that are in VCDs, I couldn't. if you or one of staggg coud suggest me a program to install. I think tried using iytune thismorning seeing if it wouldf work, but it didn't.
Thank u and i look foward to hearing back from u.

What is a good codec to convert MTS too for edting?

I heard that MTS or AVCHD footage is not good to edit with. What is a good codec to convert too?

No.
"Rendering" in working through PrPro is actually just telling the program to take the instruction set for an area selected and create new previews for that section. They are NOT really to be used in any final export process (there are only about two format/codecs that would work that way, and likely no one reading this is using them ... ) but JUST for playability in "real time" in the monitors during editing.
It is needed if between the computer specs & drive layout, the number of effects called for in a clip, and the particular codecs used, the playback causes the GPU to "drop frames" or get slow/erratic in motion. You simply select that section of the sequence, then right-click or go to the upper menu system or keyboard-short to "render selection". You computer runs for a bit, then ... playing back that section should be full-speed.
Someone who say uses mts files (which can at times be a bit of work behind the scenes for the hardware) and never needs to render before he's done with a project and exports it is saying that his computer handles mts file just fine with the level of effects he uses without needing to render any sections or suffer 'dropped frames' on playback.

What is the easiest way to convert .MTS files for use in Final Cut Express

I initially downloaded my Sony Alpha7 files into iMovie. As the production requires a little more professional software I then tried to import files into Final Cut Express. As these are now .MTS files what is the easiest way of converting them?

Hey Martin et al,
Related question...
After you convert files from M2TS or MP4 into something usable in FCE can you trash the original M2ts/mp4 files ?
I recently used Mpeg Streamclip to convert Mp4 into AIC for FCE for example..
Is there a general rule of when you have to save original files so everything works in FCE?
I'm running out of HD space.
Thanks a lot,
Al

Can you help me to convert mts movie clip to mp4 and DVD format eventually?

I have three window movie file format(wmv) and three mts file format (H 264 1280 X720 16:9 20676 kbps 25fps)).
I eventually need to combine all these files and make this as dvd. What is the best way to do it?
As far as I know, I have to use Premiere Pro and Adobe Encore.
I am pretty familiar with Adobe Premiere Pro, but I am not that familiar with Adobe Encore.

Could you explain what is the result (whatis the use) with the persona's ?

I just want to know what is changed (or what is it used for) if I choose a persona ? Is it the "Google" picture which is changed on the startimage ? Or what is it ? Can anyone simply explain this to me ?

Firefox Personas is simply a way for users to personalise their Firefox browser by adding a different look to the Graphical User Interface (GUI).
If yo go to http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/ and hover a Persona, you will see the changes take effect immediately.
Firefox Personas does not change anything in your browser; it literally jus adds a fancy image to Firefox's window, without distrubing the contens of pages.
