  • How do I import AVCHD video files from a PC to my Mac?

    I have a project that I need to import on to my Mac to work on.  They have downloaded the footage on to a PC and is in AVCHD format.  The original footage no longer exists (I know, I know...) so my only option is to convert it and import it into FCP.  What is the best way to do that to keep picture quality as high as possible?  Thanks in advance.

    If you no longer have the original card or a copy of it with the entire directory structure intact, you might be able to take the raw files into MPEG Streamclip (free) and transcode them. If that does not work, you will need a copy of Clipwrap II ($50) which will do it. You should transcode to ProRes LT.
    Clipwrap has a trial mode which will enable you to test it first. It will transcode a maximum of one minute of footage per clip.
    I have a tutorial for MPEG Streamclip here: http://www.secondchairvideo.com/?p=694

    Connect the camera to the computer with a USB cable and use the camera as the card reader. Make sure the camera is in playback mode.

  • How do I import my video files from old iPhoto - in time machine - to new iPhoto?  Photoes came across, video said incompatible.

    how do I import my video files from old iPhoto - in time machine - to new iPhoto?  Photoes came across, video said incompatible.
    i have moved from a mac pro to a mac mini,
    Mini now has mavericks and latest iLife stuff, I clicked import, was all good, then at end, no videos came across.
    Is Mavericks,/iPhoto having a compatibiltiy issue with some video formats....???
    Your help is appreciated gang.: )

    Please describe exactly what you did. In moving to a new machine no importing is involved. The best way is to simply connect the two computers together and drag the iPhoto library from the old one to the pictures folder go the new one and launch iPhoto

  • How to play back AVCHD video files without jerkiness result?

    Hi all, I have an iMac 27" 3.06Ghz as well as the new MacBook Air 13 1.86Ghz, and both have 4GB of RAM. When I tried to play back AVCHD video files (*.mts) recorded from my Canon HF200 HD camcorder, the play back is always jerky and choppy. I have tried various software like Perian for QT, VLC, MPlayer Extended, all have the same result. However, I can play back other 1080p files like MKV and MOV just fine.
    Is the jerkiness problem that I am seeing due to underpowered hardware? or is it I am not using the correct software? Note that I am not trying to edit HD videos, I just want to be able to play them back smoothly. I can play the same files on Windows 7 natively without any issues.
    I am curious if any of you have the same problem. Please help!
    Thanks in advance.

    Swaza,
    Just thought I would jump in and share some experiences with .tod and .mod files.
    I too have the JVC GZ-HD7 camera and I can confirm that the new version of the MPEG-SC 1.93beta will open and convert .tod to .mov for use with iMovieHD. I am not sure that the files can be used with iMovie08 since I have not tried, but it will work in iMovieHD just like any other qt or .mov file import.
    Also, you can use the QTpro plugin that came with the camera (should be on the CD as the only MAC software available.) This will allow you to open the files in QT and convert them to any other format needed. This plugin unfortunately does not allow QTpro to open the older .mod files of previous JVC cameras. For that you can still use MPEG-SC.
    In my experiences over the last few weeks, having mistakenly dumped all of my footage onto my hdd as I used to do with my older JVC cameras, I am now stuck with 3 hours of footage on my HDD as .tod files. I have been struggling to find the right blend of codec type, compression amount, fps, and quality to convert these files in an acceptable resolution (1920x1080 full - another mistake since iMovie08 will not import this quality but will import the 1440 CBR mode.) Converting these files is a nightmare and has become a stain on my otherwise wonderfu lexperience with this new camera (It is an awesome camera despite what negative stuff the "Canon fanboys" are saying!) It takes an unbelievably long time to convert. And you will find that when viewing these files in QT either as .tod or even after converting to .mov, they will be jerky and stutter. I believe this is more to the fact that the files are just really huge. Playback inside of iMovie06HD was perfect for me though.
    Hope this helps out and I hope others may offer solutions as to what codecs they are using and what settings they are using to keep the quality as high as possible when converting these files.

  • How do you import a video file that has extension gp into i movie.  also rotating video

    How do you import a video file that has the extension gp into ivmovie?  Also how do you rotate a video . (the video was taken from a phone.)

    Hi, your video file needs to be converted to eg. a .mov or .mp4 file before iMovie will recognise. I use 4Media MP4 converter and it works excellent.
    For the rotating I do not have an answer, but if you would manege you would end up with a very narrow image either way.
    Good luck

  • HD videos from Sony NEX-3 sound like the Chipmunks

    My Sony NEX-3 720p MP4 videos sound like the Chipmunks. Video frame rate appears ok but the sound is way too fast. The files play nicely e.g. in Preview though.
    iMovie imports the files nicely, using the internal SD reader in my iMac. However, the sound is out of sync in the imported files. From the sound of it, it seems the audio runs at least at 2x the speed.
    Currently I use Handbrake for converting the camera clips into 25 fps m4v and then importing these into iMovie but it is a pain.

    Can you tell me how you imported the video from your NEX-3 to iMovie?  When I try, the camera automatically opens iPhoto and imports it there.  If I open iMovie, all of the selctions are grayed-out so I can't import them.  I've tried getting the video straight from the camera but can't seem to do that either. Can you help?

    Glad you pointed to that thread; the message was proven repeatedly to be erroneous and misleading.  Windows natively supports AVCHD (e.g., Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center).  All new consumer and most new professional HD video capture devices (including all forthcoming Nikon D-SLRs) use AVCHD rather than, say, the .MOV format that you do support which actually is NOT supported natively in Windows and requires a QuickTime install.
    Again, it is a trivial task to have Lightroom recognize/catalog/playback AVCHD files.  About an hour's work programming-wise to incorporate AVCHD capability into Lightroom's shell (and Adobe can simply let pre-Windows 7 users know that they'll get AVCHD support when they upgrade to Windows 7).

  • ITunes 11 won't import .mov video files from external hard drive but will from internal.

    Hi Everyone
    I'm having a problem with iTunes 11.0.1. I can't import .mov video files stored on an external hard drive. I can however import .m4v files from the same external drive. Using either the add to library option or dragging files from the finder.
    I can add .mov files from the internal though. Strange I know.
    The reason behind this posting is that I'm using iFlicks to convert my TV and movies from my external drive for Apple TV and add all relevent meta data, keeping the files on the external drive and having iTunes link to them.
    I would like to be able to simply create a general iTune compatiable file using iFlicks which only takes a minute or two per file to convert. I'm currently converting them to .m4v just for the sack of being able to import them into iTunes from an external drive takes 45 minutes per file.
    Has anybody else had this problem? Any ideas on a fix to allow me to import .mov files from an external drive into iTunes without copying it to the iTune library file.
    Many Thanks
    Dave

    This might be worth a shot - basically seeing if Vista permissions could be the culprit.
    Give yourself FULL control and ownership of the exHD, let's call it M:
    How to Take Ownership and Grant Permissions in Windows Vista
    Take control of the top level folder and ALL subfolders.
    Try creating a new blank ITL file on M: by pressing *and holding* the shift key while itunes starts. See if you can add everything again.

  • How to play video files that are in Drop box on iPod?

    How to play video files that are in Drop box on iPod?

    I am going to have to write a technote about this, because it comes up a lot.
    Flash Player itself is designed to play SWF content as a browser plugin or as an ActiveX control (when it's IE Windows).
    There is a standalone Flash Player, but that's something Adobe  provides directly as a feature of Flash CS4 Professional. It gets installed with Flash. We have made some standalone players available on http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, but not all (and I don't know why.  Looking into it)
    There are numerous 3rd party standalone SWF players out there though.  Some designed to just play video, others that play full SWF. I suggest a google search of 'play SWF standalone' and read the results.
    On the Mac, consumers who want to play SWF content off their desktop can use the Adobe Media Player. You can import a local SWF (and FLV and other video) and play it in AMP.  Get it here:

    That's Mac only, doesn't work on Windows.

  • Audio component not apearing when importing AVCHD .MTS files

    When importing AVCHD .MTS files into Premiere Pro the Audio component is not available (also in After Effects and Media Encoder)
    What am I doing wrong :/

    You could most likely convert them using a program like 5DTORGB, and then pull them back into Premiere. Although there is a chance this won't work, however in most cases I find it usually does work. Just be prepared to lose your metadata.
    If your on a PC I'd recommend downloading their beta version it will allow you to transcode your AVCHD to ProRes HQ.
    http://rarevision.com/5dtorgb/
    All you have to is provide them a correct email address and they'll send you a download link. When you transcode though keep in mind that it's going to make your file sizes much much larger, however this because ProRes is much less compressed than AVCHD video is. You do need to keep in mind though that ProRes HQ is visually lossless. If you chose to use another free converter program you'll most likely get stuck chosing a lossy format. Another nice thing though, is that it works on MAC too. Your shooter needs to know not to do this again though, because as you already know at this point. It can cause big issues...

    You don't. File transfer, by Bluetooth, has never been supported on any iPhone. To import pics/videos in your camera roll, read here:

  • Importing AVCHD .mts files

    I'm trying to import AVCHD video clips to iMovie from my Panasonic camera, via the SD card.
    Had no success so far - what do I need to do?
    Thanks

    iMovie should see your SDHC card from a USB card reader, or from the built in card reader if you Mac has one.
    It is important that your SDHC card be unmodified after removing it from the camera. In other words, it still contains all the folder structure that the camera put there, even the empty folders. iMovie needs all that to import.
    In iMovie, click FILE/IMPORT/FROM CAMERA and see if it sees your card/camera.
    If it does not, it is helpful to put your card in the camera and use the Camera's menu controls to initialize (or format) the card.  Do not do this if you have any valuable clips on the card, however, because this will erase them.  You may want to try this with a blank card (and then shoot some test clips) to see if it helps.
    If that does not get you anywhere, post back and there are a couple of other steps you can take to rescue your footage.

  • Importing AVCHD  video archived onto DVDs using Roxio Toast ?

    Can Final Cut Express import AVCHD video that has been archived onto DVDs using Roxio Toast 10 Titanium? The video is originally shot on an AVCHD camcorder (Canon HF-10), then burned into DVDs preserving the AVCHD files using Roxio Toast Titanium. I'm just wondering if you can simply insert the DVDs and import the AVCHD files into FCE. Has anyone tried it? Does it work?

    The only thing that matters is that the entire folder structure is preserved from the chip. If the software is picking out the video files then it will not work. The whole folder structure which is a data wrapper for the media is needed by FCE. It doesn't matter if you use Toast or Disk Utility to make the data disc.
