Best workaround for editing long AVCHD clips in CS6?

Hi there, I've recently switched to CS6 and have run into incredibly long render times using native AVCHD clips (13 hours to encode a 30 minute m2v).  After reading many posts it seems the issue I am running into is a known bug.  So, my question is: is there a good workaround for this issue?
It sounds like this issue is only on long clips.  Is it possible to automatically split the .mts files using another program (virtualDub?) prior to importing?
If transcoding from the native format is required (until the fix) what would be the best method using Windows 7 64bit?  I have heard Avid's DNxHD is a good lossy codec, but I hate to do this if there is an accepted workflow I should learn instead.
Thanks for any advice!

  • Best Program for editing quicktime movies

    What is the best program for editing quicktime movies.
    For example, I have several quicktime movies in the 4:3 aspect ratio, but the video is ment to be 16:9 so there is black on the top and bottom. I want to be able to crop out the black and make the video file a true 16:9 wide screen video becuase my laptop has a widescreen 16:10 aspect ratio lcd. And when playing back these videos, you end up with a couple inches of black on the top and bottom, and right and left, so a lot of screen space get's waisted. The only programs I have found so far that can make a 16:9 quicktime video have not supported the H.264 format, and only stetch the video to 16:9 rather then croping it, so the black remains on the top and bottom and the aspect ratio is off and every one looks short and fat becuase it's not in its native aspect ratio correctly.
    Does anyone have any advice on what program I should use?
    Also, does anyone have any recomendatiosn for how to convert wmv files to quicktime / itunes videos? I have found one program that does so, but it comes out very blocky and the audio is out of sync with the video by a good five seconds.
    Thanks

    MPEG Streamclip (free) can crop and Save As so you wouldn't need to add any new compression to the existing files.
    The make a Windows version now (it used to be Mac only).
    No tips on converting WMP files but you'll find dozens of solutions in the iPod Discussions pages.

  • Best notebook for editing HD videos?

    I consider to buy a MacBookPro or MacBookAir. Which one is the best choice for editing HD videos?

    You don't want a MacBook Air, a 13" or a 2.0 Ghz 15" for professional work.
    You need the 2.2 Ghz 15" anti-glare, high res, MacBook Pro or better. (has the 1GB Radeon 6750M)
    The 17" is prefered because it's screen is 1920 x 1200, so 1080i (1920 x 1080 pixels) is WYSIWYG.
    You need the anti-glare because your going to be using it for professional work in many environments that you can't control the glare, you need to be able to see the entire screen.
    If your ordering online, get the 7,200 RPM drive. Else it's not that much difference from the 5,400 RPM store sold models. Get the 8GB of RAM installed right when you purchase and also AppleCare.
    Good luck.

  • Please help me with this urgent viewing and editing question for a long video clip.

    Hi, I have never used this software before and when I imported a 2 hours and 12 minute video clip of my sister's wedding into the system and added it as one sequence into the program it would only allow me to watch and edit the first 2 minutes.
    Why is that and how can I rectify this so that I can watch and edit the whole clip?
    Also, can such a long video clip be edited by trimming it and creating transitions where I see fit?
    Thanks so much for your advice as I am feeling really stuck right now.

  • IMovie 08 minimum specification for editing with AVCHD

    I recently got a new Panasonic HDC-SD9 camcorder, and I'm trying to work out my options for editing what I shoot.
    I have an early 2006 iMac with a Core Duo processor.
    This meets the minimum published spec for iMovie 08, but I can't find the details of the spec required for editing AVCHD source material.
    I expect it to be sluggish at best, but can anyone advise as to whether its worth trying at all? I'll have to invest in iLife 08 and 2GB of RAM, so... will I be wasting my money?

    I believe you are OK to import/edit AVCHD as long as you have the Intel processor. It can't be done on a pre-Intel Mac.
    Invest in iLife 08? If you are getting it for iMovie 08 because you bought the hard drive cam and that's your only option, since it won't work with iMovie HD6, then I guess that could be construed as an investment. However, I'll bet you didn't do your homework before going with a HD hard drive cam because if you liked iMovie HD6, you may not feel the same about the 08 version. Be aware that it is NOT an upgrade to HD6. A HD miniDV cam would have been a better cam choice, usable with HD6 or 08.
    Never hurts to have more RAM.

  • Best practices for Edit Proxies in Final Cut Server?

    We just bought Final Cut Server, and for the most part are pretty happy with the product. We are a small production facility, and primarily work with DVCPro HD footage at 720P. One feature we'd like to use would be the edit proxies feature in FCS, but they don't seem to be working for us.
    _Hosting Computer_
    We're using a mac mini server with snow leopard server and final cut server 1.5.
    Problem
    Whenever we specify in the Administrator Pane of FCS, Under Preferences and Analyze, we'd like to use a custom transcode setting for the edit proxies, keeping Frame Size, TC, and Frame rate the same, but changing the codec to h264 least quality, the effects are a different compression than expected. We tested out the compression settings using Compressor on the server, and we get the desired results:
    Input: DVCPro HD 720P Quicktime 960X720 (1248 x 702) 23.98 fps
    Output: H264 Quicktime 960X720 (1248 x 702) 23.98 fps
    Also did the same outputs using Apple Prorez, Photo Jpeg and got the following outputs:
    Output: Apple Prorez Quicktime 960X720 (1248 x 702) 23.98 fps
    Output: Photo Jpeg Quicktime 960X720 (1248 x 702) 23.98 fps
    (We also made new transcode settings for these compressor settings and we not able to control the compressions through FCS with these settings as well. Our target codec is H264.)
    After connecting the new compression settings on the Mac Mini Server to a new transcode setting in the FCS Admin Pane, we restarted the Java Client, logged in to FCS as an FCSadmin, opened the Admin Pane, and under preferences/analyze change the edit proxy setting to the New H264 setting that worked perfectly when using Compressor. After uploading a final cut project, with one associated media file (DVCPro HD 720P Quicktime 960X720 (1248 x 702) 23.98 fps), the resulting edit proxy did not match the specification: 384 x 216, 23.98fps, TC matches source.
    Also did not dynamically connect when checking out the project from FCS and selecting edit proxies and keep media with project and saving to the desktop.
    Question 1:
    Does anyone have any best practice transcode setting(s) to create for DVCPro HD 720P using edit proxies that dynamically connect and are smaller size than the original? H264? Photo Jpeg?
    Question 2:
    Why is Final Cut Server's Compressor giving a different output, when the same settings work well with just Compressor?
    Question 3:
    Does H264 work in creating dynamically linking edit proxies (ie, no need to reconnect)?
    I can imagine this information to be very useful to the community, so any input or solutions will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    H.264 is a puzzling choice of codec for edit proxies. H.264 is not an edit-friendly codec since it is a complex long-GOP structure and will require a ton of rendering just to play back the timeline. ProRES 422 Proxy would be a much better choice for editing. I'm afraid I can't account for the differences between Compressor and FCServer in this case, but my gut tells me the non-I-frame codec you are trying to use for edit proxies might have something to do with it. Maybe for an edit-proxy workflow to operate properly on the server-side the codec must be I-frame? Is there any reason you do not want to use ProRES 422 Proxy? They are about 1/3 the footprint of 720p24 DVCPRO-HD, which is already very efficient. For that frame rate and frame size they would be roughly half the heft of good ol' DV25.
    So my answer to all three questions would be to try ProRES 422 Proxy for your edit proxies and see if everything lines up.

  • What is the best file for editing?

    I have movie clips that I need to burn onto a DVD-R. This DVD will be given to a friend and he will edit the contents in his own editing program (Pinnacle software). He asked for the highest resolution possible.
    Of the following, which is the best file to create for him so that he can edit it?
    - DV
    - AVI
    - MPEG-1
    - MPEG-2
    - MPEG-4
    Thank you!!

    if your source is from a camcorder, the native codec DV is 'best'.
    iMHD imports those streams from tape 1by1, it is a 'clone', a bit-identical 'copy' from the tape.. couldn't be an better...
    avi - is no codec nor 'format', just an old Windows media container. can contain literally all kind of codecs..
    mpeg1 - historic (=old) codec, Standard don't allow a higher res than 320x240 .. antiqué, therefor veery compatible.. not meant for editing, a delivery codec, e.g. on VCDs...
    mpeg2 - comes in many flavors, as on videoDVDs (.vob), .mod (JVC camcorders), .ts (transport streams from digital receivers), and in many 'versions', as h263, h264.. again: delivery codec by concept.
    mpeg4 - 'inbetween' version of mpeg1 and mpeg2, comes again in many flavors.. delivery codec by concept.

  • I want to play AVCHD videos in ipad from my JVC camcorder.which is the best tool for converting the avchd videos to formats that ipad can play?

    I have a JVC HD camcorder that creates videos in AVCHD format that ipad cannot play. Which is the best tool to convert these avchd videos to the format ipad can play?

    Airplay is a wireless streaming protocol. It allows content to be pushed from the iPad through the Apple TV onto your connected HDTV.
    If she wants to see the iPad displayed on the big screen and/or play games that involves mirroring. As long as it's an iPad 2 (or later) then you will be fine. More info on both has been referened below

  • Best workflow for editing Logic Pro 8 regions/tracks in Soundtrack Pro?

    I've searched for a solution for the below question in several forums and to no avail. Thanks in advance for any help!
    What is the easiest workflow for editing Logic Pro 8 audio files with Soundtrack Pro 2? And I'm thinking of a process very similar to the Final Cut Pro timeline audio-to- Soundtrack Pro Audio File project workflow.
    I'd imagine that a good amount of the time, I'd be editing regions rather than full audio files -- as in, once in a while, while mixing sessions that another engineer has tracked, I'll hear clicks and pops from pre-amps clipping; or I'll hear an air conditioner blower running or something.
    Basically, I occasionally hear noise in the arrange window while mixing that I'd like to edit out with Soundtrack Pro, and I need to know the easiest way to send that audio clip to Soundtrack Pro and then back to Final Cut Pro.

    Connecting your FS Mobile to powered speakers will not increase latency. Latency is simply the fixed amount of time it takes for your computer to process sounds. Once the sound is processed and available at the outputs of the FS Mobile, it can go anywhere; to a PA mixer, a separate monitor mixer, headphones, etc. One thing you will want to consider when playing live is to have a personal monitor very close to you and pretty loud. The reason being is that the physical distance between you and the main PA speakers will itself induce a type of latency since sound travels at about 1126 ft/sec or 1000 msec of delay for every 1126 feet. Adding this delay to your latency could make holding a groove or pitch for that matter nearly impossible. The delays add up pretty quickly. For example, if your speakers are say 50 feet away from you, you would likely have around 20 msec of delay right there. Add this to your system latency of 20 msec and your up to 40 msec which is like trying to play a rubber guitar underwater. Even if your PA speakers are closer, the delays add up quickly. So having that nice loud monitor right up next to you will insure that you only have to get the feel of your system latency.

  • Best workaround for iPhoto library on timecapsule

    Hi,
    I've got a macbook here, with a time-capsule connected.
    I would like to work with the iPhoto library on my time-capsule, as the library is quite big.
    Extra info: I've already noticed that if I put the library on the time-capsule iPhoto is real unstable (could be the timecapsule, could be the more then 20.000 images).
    Q: What would you suggest as the best workaround?

    WHat sort of connection do you have to the TC? Wireless? A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.

  • Best Practices for standardizing long text for EP GUI version

    Hello, I have a question that is related to standardizing best practices for all portal applications that use EP
    1) The portal team has recommended activating the GUI version from portal to allow the long text to have the same features as the standard GUI.  Since this solution is per transaction, we will need to identify what transactions need to have this temporary solution built in.  Also, business users will need to remember which transactions they will access via portal or GUI.
    (2) Even though the long text function is activated via GUI per transaction, the system will prompt a message of u201CRuntime Error!  Program C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXEu201D.  This may create frustrations to the users each time they maintain the long text.  The risk of this may be losing the use of long text throughout the maintenance orders, production orders, notifications, material masters, equipment masters, maintenance task lists, production routings, etc.
    All feedback welcomed
    Thanks Mark

    I found the solution, make everything in Illustrator (well text anyway) at a big size then bring it ibto Photoshop in a dicument 1024 x 576 (so no widescreen pixel ratio) then when saving document bring size of Image to 720 x 576 then you get great anti aliased pictures.
    Solved.

  • Best quality for editing fcp with p2 standard definition and canon elura 100 widescreen

    I am editing on FCP 7. Three cameras were used. Panasonic HPX 500 set in standard def 4x3, another small panasonic that shoots standard def was used only it was set a 16x9 and an even smaller Canon  NTSC Elura 100 was set on widescreen (16x9). My mistake is I want them look the best they can (at 16x9 or 4x3) when burned to DVD. I would prefer to go with 4x3 and crop the 16x9s. I have a Mac Pro 1,1 ; 2 Dual Core Intel Xeon 2.66 gHx and AJA Kona card. The question is: What is the BEST setting for log & capture of each device and what is the BEST sequence setting to build my project on. Right now everything looks like it has a soft shadowy image (basically low quality image - probably because it is mostly low quality... even the HPX 500 looks bad because I expanded it to fit the 16x9 screen of my sequence. And here's a strange event, even though my sequence setting is 720x480 the screen aspect ratio comes out 16x9... go figure. I seem to know less and less about this business every day. If anybody is willing to offer some advice on how I can make Chicken Salad out of this Chicken Shi_, I'd love to hear it. I hope it's just a settings problem on the ingest or sequence side.
    Thanks,
