Converting AVCHD Format with FCPX

I just purchased my first "Prosumer" level camera and it records in AVCHD format. Do I need to get a third party software program to convert my footage to Pro Res or does FCPX do this automatically when I import my footage. Still usung FCPX 10.0.9
Thanks,
Jon

You don't need a third party converter. FCP X will now open and work with the native media.

Converting video format with quicktime

how do you convert the vido format to make it compatable with ipod using quicktime?

Once you convert it to avi, you'll need IMAQ AVI Read Frame from Vision Acquisition Software, http://search.ni.com/nisearch/app/main/p/ap/tech/lang/en/pg/1/sn/ssnav:sup,catnav:du,n8:13.79.7820, to read each frame.
Then, use match pattern function in Vision Development Module, http://search.ni.com/nisearch/app/main/p/bot/no/ap/tech/lang/en/pg/1/ps/10/sn/catnav:du,ssnav:sup/q/..., to detect your object, and its position.

Trouble with flickering after converting AVCHD files to Apple Pro Res 22

Hi guys.
I have figured out that Apple Pro res 22 is the best format for my AVCHD files.
But I am having trouble with the files after converting them to this format.
Every 60 frames I have a blurred frame.
This results in a flickering effect when watching the clip.
The original MP4 clip (AVCHD) plays fine on the Mac but when I convert is it flickers.
I have captured a still shot of the frame here

Here are the settings I am using for the conversion

Here is the converted file in Apple Pro Res 22 format with the flickering
http://www.willpower.net.au/DOWNLOADS/SANY0007.mov
I'd appreciate any help that you can offer.

Actually I think I might have found the answer.
After diggin deaper into the camera manual I have discovered that the setting I had it on "Full HD" actually is interlaced not progressive. Even though tha badging on the camera says Progressive"
So I think something got lost when converting the files to apple pro res.
I just shot a 10 sec clip on "Full HR" which is the progressive function and it converted nicely.
I'll come back to this post after shooting and making a little test movie today.
Thanks for your help.
PS. I wonder what codec it actually shoots in. Apparently it is not AVCHD but MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression (I thought that was AVCHD)

Will the AVCHD format from the Lumix FZ100 work with iMovie?

I'm looking to buy a camera, the Panasonic Lumix FZ100, but was wondering if the format AVCHD works with iMovie? I intend to use it for vlogging and don't want it to overcomplicate things..
Thanks

Does this from Matti Haveri help?
To convert a DVD or MPEG to DV with MPEG Streamclip (v1.5.1 or later):
Open a desired .VOB on a DVD (DVD/VIDEOTS/VTS_011.VOB, for example) or a MPEG file. Select the In/Out points if you want to extract just a portion of the video. Choose "File/Export to DV.../Compression: DV (DV25)".
Choose "Split DV stream in Segments" if the content is more than 9 minutes 27 seconds because iMovie 1-4 can't reliably handle longer clip files and it might be a good idea to limit the converted .dv file's size anyway (segmented clips play seamlessly in iMovie).
MPEG Streamclip can optionally resample audio to 48 kHz which DV (and DVD) use (use this option when converting (S)VCD 44.1 kHz audio for DV).
Other settings can usually be at their defaults. Sometimes you have to check whether the input/output is PAL or NTSC.

Any way to convert PDF document in to Tiff format with inbuilt IBR features

Is there any way to convert PDF document in to Tiff format with inbuilt IBR features?
In our Webcenter Portal app, we create the PDF document with the content of ADF pages and check it in UCM using RIDC api.
There will some batch job which will retrieve the documents from UCM and send them to client internal Document management system. The client / batch job will only process TIFF files. So we need a way to convert the PDF into TIFF. We are okie to have both PDF and TIFF stored in UCM.
When i have done research, i could only see components like PDFexport or TIFFConverter which only converts the other formats into PDF. But i am expecting a reverse conversion. Is it possible ? Thanks

FCE Compatibility with AVCHD Format

Does anyone know if Apple has announced, or if we should otherwise expect, updates for FCE or FCP to be compatible with the AVCHD format a few newer cameras are starting to use?

I doubt you're right, but then we'd be speculating.

I need to convert AVCHD to work with Final Cut Studio

I recently purchased a Sony HD camcorder only to discover it records in AVCHD which is not supported by apple FCS.
Also apple is not supported by sony so the software that came with the camera does not work with my Mac Pro.....
Is there any way i can convert AVCHD files on my mac to work with FCS??
Thanks lee

This probably doesn't answer your question but I'll chime in.
I have the Sony SR1 camera. I'm not sure if that's the one you have. Anyway, I purchased the Blackmagic Intensity card for $250, now I can capture directly from the camera into whatever codec you want. Well almost. At least you have the option of using Uncompressed, DVCProHD, ProRes etc.
I tried editing AVCHD natively using Vegas, but that's not the way I want to work. I also havent found any decent way of converting the files. It's a huge headache. I'm not sure I'd want to edit AVCHD native anyway. It's pretty processor intensive, and I just don't see much of a difference between the files the camcorder captures, and transcoding them upon capture through the Intensity card.

Convert Quicktime to Flash Format with Controls Strip ?

Hi everyone...
I have a Quicktime movie on a website that my client would prefer in Flash format... I have successfully been able to export to Flash format Flash CS3, but I have been unable to add the auto controls strip that's included when you place a Quicktime movie using GoLive CS2. Does anyone of any software out there that will allow me to import my original Quicktime movie format and export in Flash format with these controls included (sound control, play, pause, forward, backwards). It's sooo frustrating as I know the Quicktime format is fine... but my client just feels that Flash would be more cross platform popular.
Any ideas... any help?? much appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Anthony

Hi Edward... and thank you for your reply... the page in question is listed below. I don't know how to add in the control buttons in Flash CS3... that's why I was hoping that there might be some small drag and drop standalone application that might create this control panel for me and automatically add it to the Flash video. In GoLive CS2 when you place a Quicktime movie you get options to show the controls or not... add a Flash movie in GoLive and you don't have this option. My client wants the controls and I am not knowledgeable enough to be able to fabricate them in Flash CS3.... so that's why I was looking to find out if there was some small app available that would do this function...
Again... thank you for your reply...

How do I get AVCHD footage into FCPX?

I have a Panasonic HMC 150 HD camera that records in AVCHD. The files have an ".MTS" extension on them. I'm using Final Cut Pro X and trying to get the files to import using the "Import" function under "File." No luck. Do I have to convert these files using another program. If so, what's the best way to do the import without losing any quality?

One way I import older .mts flies I have stored on hard drives without archiving the complete folders and such (just the files) is using toast 10.
I go to make a blu-ray video disc, drag all the video MTS files I want to the new disc to make. I turn off menus and set automatic encoding. When I make a disc image I set it for DVD for the disc size as FCPX seems to like it over BD
Also it will not reencode the files if they are all they same format. I was doing this to add old footage in to imovie and it seems to be working with FCPX. Just mount the disc image and FCPX should see it as a camera archive disc.
Questions, just ask, sometimes I have trouble instructing.

I want to buy a Panasonic HC-X920 camcorder but websites are making me fear it is incompatible with FCPX. Is this true?

I am not a video expert. I have and use FCPX for family videos and projects. Currently I have been using a Canon T3i and have no problem editing video, but I've grown tired of the complications of DSLR for video and want to move into something a little simpler. After some research I found that I want the Panasonic HC-X920. A google search of the x920 and Final Cut Pro X leads me to websites and companies trying to get me to download software to convert video from the X920 to be compatible with FCPX because they say FCPX isn't compatible with AVCHD. I find that hard to believe. Are they just scaring consumers into downloading their product or are they correct?
I would assume that when I import the file from the X920, I could just optimize it for FCPX with FCPX. Am I correct or not? Thank you.
Here are some example of websites looking to "help" convert video for FCPX:

according to Panasonc
http://panasonic.net/avc/camcorder/hd/x920/specifications.html
your camera uses standard AVCHD and iFrame as formats = fully supported by FCPX, no additional software nor manual conversion needed.
Hint:
NEVER mix formats (AVCHD and iFrame) on one media! Esp. the huge int. 32GBs memory is seducing to try out all settings optional .. One media (SDcard or int.Mem) = one format = all savvy.

AVCHD manageable with FCP 5.1.4 and Intel iMac 2.16 MHz ?

Hi,
I am looking into a new camcorder Sony HDR XR 500 (520) and one of the reviews I have read mentions that the AVCHD format requires specific software and the latest computers. Do I have no chance to work those files with my current configuration? What would I need? Thanks!

Hi gogiangigo,
Thanks for that information!
I have read in the FCP 6 marketing page that AVCHD is supported natively — if the text syntax doesn't disguise the truth! But in some other comments I read, FCP will convert AVCHD on import into a transitional format and the files size is blown up. What's the truth about it?
And will a dual 1.5GHz PowerMac G5 also handle FCS 2 and AVCHD ? (seemingly not)
