AVCHD camcorders from sony and panasonic

Is there any software right now that supports this format? The video is compressed in mpeg-4 avc/h.264 and the file extension is .m2ts. Will apple release a program that supports this formats?

still no support...ok, thanks for the confirm.
Is there someway to play/export .m2ts in windows? I have Sony AVHDC viewer software for windows, but it only reads from AVHDC discs..not the hard drive.
Yes, If I was doin it, i would capture the footage with FCP. But in this particular instance, the .m2ts are being supplied by the client. In other instances, he supplied .m2t files, which I handled with mpegstreamclip fine. but these .m2ts files are trickier.

  • Does FCP7 directly imports AVCHD files from sony cam?

    Does the new FCP 7.0 directly imports AVCHD files from sony cam?
    Does it need any conversion? If yes, how is the conversion time, and does the conversion degrades image quality?
    Thanks in advance.
    Desmond

    Which sony camera? there are a lot.
    Yes, it needs to convert. AVCHD isn't a format that most editing systems deal with natively. You will be converting it to ProRes. The conversion time is dependent on too many factors to give a precise number. Based on computer used, processors, RAM, how much footage, where it will be stored...all of that. The conversion doesn't degrade the image.
    Here...I have a workflow tutorial for this: Tapeless Workflow for FCP 7 Tutorial

  • PS CS6 has no sound with AVCHD videos from Sony Cybershot

    System Specs:
    PS CS6, fully updated
    win7/64 fully patched
    16gb ram, 11+ GB free
    ssd scratch drive, 40gb free
    camera:  Sony cybershot dsc-hx30v
    files: *.MTS
    CPU: intel quad core sandy bridge 2600k, 3.4Ghz
    GPU: AMD 6950 2gb
    The videos play fine in VLC 2.0.1, windows media player, GSpot 2.70a (in thumbnail window). An ancient Nero showtime even sort of plays the video (choppy and partially mangled), but the audio is fine. VLC and WMP play smoothly at full screen, 2560x1600.
    In PS, there is no audio. Both microphone icons have sound waves emanating and I have tried all 4 combinations of mute and play.
    I can edit and save them to h.264, high quality, 1920x1080, 59.94 fps, progressive *.mp4 file. The video plays on the other players, but again there is no sound.
    GSpot shows LAV splitter -> ffdshow addio decoder -> ac3filter -> default directSound device (see details below)
    When playing in PS, the video is choppy. It will play for ~1/2 second and then stutter.
    Searching for a suitable group with key words (photoshop cs6 avchd video no sound)
    yields 505 groups. Looks like any group to have ever had cs6 in a thread. Hmmm.
    It can't be a codec problem if every other video product I have plays the files. It is certainly not a hardware limitation. It looks like a PS bug.

    Meredith,
    It is perfectly legal to decode Dolby to simple stereo with the licensed codec included with Windows 7. There may be some restriction on writing AC-3 content in 5.1 format. If Adobe wanted to, it could read from the licensed, installed codec and write the edited files in any of the audio formats it does support.
    I do not believe it is a can't; it's a won't.
    "... only a few digital cameras on the market with that encoder."
    There are dozens of digital cameras and camcorders from Canon, Hitachi, JVC, Leica, Panasonic and Sony which use AVCHD and many more are on the way.

  • Missing Lensprofiles from SONY and ZEISS in Camera Raw

    Hello,
    A few months ago I switched from Canon to Sony and Carl Zeiss and ever since I am missing some lens profiles in Camera Raw.
    I'm a picture editor and of course miss this opportunity of pre-correcting the lens profiles in the RAW development. I can not create the profiles themselves, like I have already been advised to do by an adobe employee. Now I have been waiting for the latest update and I also changed to PS CC.
    Unfortunately, I still miss these camera profiles: SONY SAL-500F40G, SONY SAL-300F28G2, SONY SAL-100M28, 135F18Z Zeiss, Zeiss 85F14Z, 24F20Z Zeiss, Zeiss 1635Z. I hereby would like to respectfully ask for these profiles included in Camera Raw. My entire image processing stands and falls with the RAW development. If I have to make cuts in the beginning, all following workflow suffers.
    As a premium provider of image editing software, you should not only follow the mainstream (Canon and Nikon), but also the "niche supplier" (SONY and ZEISS).
    I would appreciate any information about that topic very much!

  • Does final cut pro x support avchd files from sony HDR-cx260

  • MTS (AVCHD) files from Sony HDRAX2000 produce HUGE Quicktime files

    Hi,
    I am editing some clips for a Client in Premiere CS5. They provided me with clips from the camera they used (Sony HDRAX2000). The files are MTS (AVCHD). I am able to edit these files in Premiere CS5 (& CS4) as well as After Effects CS5 (& CS4). However when I output the result to Quicktime using the same resolution and settings as the original, the file size is outrageous. For example a 2 minute Quicktime with a resolution of 583 X 329 ends up being 1.8 GB. If I output the file at the same settings as the clip (1920 x 1080) the 2 minute clip is nearly 20 GB!!!
    I attempted to convert the source files to Quicktime using the Adobe Media Encoder (I tried with both CS5 and CS4 versions).
    The original 8 minute MTS file that is 1.3 GB results in a Quicktime file OVER 80 GB!!!! (Both files are the same exact resolution (1920 x 1080) same bit depth (24 bit) same frame rate 29.97. I've tried several CODECS with no substantial difference. Does anyone have any experience with a workflow that would allow the final output to be of a reasonable and manageable size? The goal is to provide the highest quality Quicktime file I can at 583 x 329 and this file will ultimately be used in a web project (Flash) were file size is obviously critical.
    I did also try a couple of "Video converters" available on the web. They can convert the files with excellent file size results but the quality is unusable (looks obviously compressed).
    I do have a fair amount of experience providing these types of outputs/files for similar projects and I've never run into such a problem. Any guidance would be appreciated.

    Thanks for your reply. What I meant was the workflow I have delveloped with the client to provide a quicktime file for their use on their end is what has been proven.
    The whole reason I started this thread was hoping someone had a NEW WORKFLOW that would allow me to do this.
    I have hundreds of clips I have produced for this client that utilze the Animation codec at 100% at a small fraction of the size. In fact I have one clip that is 46 minutes in duration 1920 X 1080 60 FPS using QT Animation codec at 100% and the file is 40 GB. The difference being the source files which were shot with a different camera in DVCPRO HD format.
    So if what you're saying is I should expect an 8 minute clip to be 80 GB I'm a bit lost.
    Anyway thanks for your reply hopefully someone has some helpful advise. I'm not here to argue with anyone or to be proven wrong, I'm just looking for help.
    I'll continue to seach for other options. Thanks to all who have responded.

  • DVD playback is poor on quality Sony and Panasonic players-jagged horizontals are particularly noticeable. Top quality Verbatim DVD-R discs used. Ideas please?

    I'm new to Mac and have not regretted the move from the "other side" until now. I produce many DVDs of slideshows and movies which are frequently shown at public venues or are given to friends and organisations so quality is very important. So far all attempts at producing a DVD free of "jaggies" and other artefacts have failed, the results not being acceptable even when viewed on 22 inch LCD TVs.
    The projects have been created using iMovie which produces excellent quality Quicktime files perfectly watchable on large HD screens or projectors fed from a notebook (and a windows one at that!)
    I have burned the DVDs on the iMac internal Optiarc drive and an external LG one with the same poor results.
    No similar problems experienced over many years of using Adobe Premiere, Cyberlink and WNsoft software. In fact many audiences have commented on the near broadcast quality of the productions.
    Am I preparing the files wrongly in iDVD or do I have to seek out alternative authoring/burning software (not so easy with Mac of course) ? I have Final Cut Express 4 on the Mac also but wanted to cut my teeth on iMovie first.
    Any help will be most welcome.
    Stuart

    Hi
    Still one has to know that DVDs can only be SD-video (it's a standard) any program used.
    But You can get a better result by using iMovie HD6 or FinalCut any version as they can deliver intrelaced video over to iDVD (or Roxio Toast™ or DVD-Studio Pro) - this will not discard every second line as iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 does.
    You might also try to use FotoMagico™ to make SlideShows as this also results in as high quality possibly.
    If You need even better then consider
    • Blu-Ray (Roxio Toast™ Pro bundle incl. BD-component) - Short BD movies on standard DVD disks (BUT neeed Blu-ray player to be viewed (no not on any standard Mac either))

  • How to import AVCHD clips from HD camcorder?

    How I can import AVCHD clips from Sony HDR-TG1 with best possible quality to iMovie '09?
    Camera records clips as 1080i format but when I import them to iMovie '09 quality are cr*p. I have a same problem with iMovie '08. This has something to do with interlacing and single field processing but is there any workaround (other than using PC)?

    Preview playback may not be too good since QuickTime in general doesn't seem to deinterlace very well (when it deinterlaces at all).
    Quality of exported footage varies greatly according to whether or not you select +just the right+ export settings. See this thread for details:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8859971
    If exporting to SD (particularly, to iDVD), see here:
    http://pond.org.uk/misc/imovieandhd/workflow.html
    I'm planning to update this guide soonish with information on how to end up with 720p60 output from 1080i60 input (i.e. in effect treat the input as 1920x540 at 60 frames/sec progressive, turning it into 1280x720 at 60 frames/set progressive).

  • Need help with conversion progrma for MTS video files.  Can't download videos from Sony TX-10 camera

    Have new macbook pro 13".  Can't download videos from our Sony TX-10 camera.  I understand I need some kind of conversion program for MTS video files.  Need recommendation for a good conversion program to convert the video files.
    Thanks, chieftd

    Well, sigh, that's not going to work.
    I love how I can do months of research to choose the best camera for my needs and budget, which is NO easy task these days, but surprisingly find it on the unsupported list when it's a very popular camera.  So, while it seems to support a whole bunch of other AVCHD options from Sony, not the NEX cameras.
    The NEX cameras are the latest generation of mirrorless cameras (which, ironically, are great b/c they give dSLR quality still images while actually producing HD video that always records silently and stays in focus b/c it's mirrorless).  The NEX 7 was just reviewed as Camera of the Year.
    Bleh. Oh well. Maybe someday.
    And, for anyone reading, Roxio Toast Titanium did convert it just fine but it took about 20 min or my time to set up a handful of clips and then a couple hours to complete converting them for the quality I was looking for.  One was about 10 minutes of a kids' performance on Christmas and it took a long time. It's just not feasible given how many video clips I do with the camera a week - well, feasible when you consider all the cameras where this would be seamless.
    Thanks for posting your reply - I appreciate it.

  • Importing and Using Video from Sony DVD Camcorders

    I have a Sony DVD Camcorder (DCR-DVD 92) and I have recently shot a lot of footage which is now on my computer. The file extensions are .BUP, .IFO, and .VOB. I am able to import some of the files into final cut but they are shortened to only a few seconds each when in reality, they were shot for several minutes. Is there a way to make these work or to convert the files so they can be edited in Final Cut Pro 5?

  • Problems importing AVCHD clips from Panasonic GF1

    I'm having problems importing clips from my new Panasonic Gf1. FCE (4.0.1) sees the device ok, and selecting and previewing the clips in the log and transfer window works fine, but once the clips are in FCE (converted to AIC) they play fast in the viewer or when placed in the sequence. Strange, because they play fine in the preview window before importing. Tried this in iMovie 08 and get the same effect.
    I'm can convert them Toast to AIC and they work fine when imported to FCE but this is not my preferred workflow.

    I tried using Toast Titanium 10 for conversion as suggested but there was a slight issue with synch of video and audio. So I downloaded and bought Voltaic HD as suggested elsewhere and the AVCHD files of the Panasonic GF-1 are now playing in Final Cut Express 4 without issues - I am editing with no problem. Given that I can use the Log&Transfer Window (Final Cut 4) for my Olympus EP1 and my Panasonic HD video cam, it's odd that the files of the Panasonic GF-1 don't work in Final Cut (yet), but at least I am back editing. Voltaic HD was $35, a doable expense.... it does work flawless (so far).

  • Premiere Pro CS6 No audio from Sony AVCHD

    Please help, I import AVCHD/mts from any files on my PC but there is no audio/sound, not even the audio 1 track has anything in it, the sound is simply not there??
    I know FCPX needs my Sony files converting is this the case with CS6 now as cs5.5 works ok.
    Thanks

    I had the same problem and a google search shows many other have too for the last couple of years. I tried all the tips everyone has given and none worked for me. When I would import an .mts file only the video was there, no audio. As a work around I recoded the files with ffmpeg from .mts 60 fps to mp4 30 fps. The sound was fine on the imported mp4 files.
    Today the problem was solved and I think I know what the problem was. I upgraded cs6 to version 6.03. When I did, and opened up a new project, I had five times as many presets to choose from. One of them was AVCHD and had choices for 1280x720 with frame rates of 24, 25, 30, 50 and 60. I picked 60 and the .mts file worked great with no recoding needed.
    I think what the problem may be is that unless you pick the correct preset, .mts files have no audio, and I didn't get all the presets when I first installed version 6.0. With the upgrade to version 6.03 all the presets were there and the problem seemed to be solved.
    Another strange thing I just now noticed is that the above preset does not pick up audio on an mp4 file with a 48,000 sample rate but a Mpeg Audio Layer codec. The mp4 files with the 48,000 Mpeg AAC audio codec work fine, as now do the .mts files with an A52Audio aka AC3 codec. Using the cs6 File tab/Get Properties/file choice, the files that don't get audio don't  show any audio properties. So if using the cs6 properties choice doesn't show any audio information you don't get audio on that clip in cs6. Naturally all these codecs work fine in Windows media player, VLC player, etc. but CS6 reads some but not others. I don't know if there is a preset that will read the Mpeg Audio layer codec, but since it was just a test clip I don't want to go through a bunch of presets to find out. Incidentally, the VLC media player is what I used to show all the audio and video codec information, bitrate, etc. for all the different clips. I also noticed that if cs6 doesn't recognize the audio portion of a video clip, then the Adobe media encoder won't see it either.

  • Why i can't import a clip of AVCHD format from iPhoto originaly from my Sony NEX-5N

    why i can't import a clip of AVCHD format from iPhoto originaly from my Sony NEX-5N?

    Hi there. For anyone searching, here are the results of my research and corresponding advice back to Sony...
    Thanks, your comments looked correct but did not solve my problem. You may be interested to know after much testing and research, I was able to ascertain that some of the camera's AVCHD settings iMovie cannot see at all (only some, which made it even harder to figure out!). Plus, if you have recorded movie clips in more than one format to the memory card (MP4 or any one of the AVCHD's), iMovie cannot see any of the AVCHD's.
    Bottom line - forgo the benefits of AVCHD on the Sony NEX-5N and just use MP4 until Apple makes it easier.

  • After Import AVCHD from Sony CX730, IMPOSSIBLE to put the video on the Timeline!!!!!

    I have bought Premiere  three days ago. I am working on a AVCHD project, with clips from a Sony FS700 (1080 50p), and clips from a Sony CX730 (1080 25p). I can import the clips but for the CX730 clips it is impossible to put them on the timeline!!!!!
    I can put the audio (5-1) on audio 4, but impossible to put the video... Everybody told me that Premiere support all the codec on the same project... It is not true!!!
    Why????

    Yes! you are right, every thing work well now!! Thanks a lot!
