Do MTS files rewrapped to MOV by ClipWrap retain ALL their metadata?

I intend to rewrap all my MTS files with ClipWrap to use for archival purposes but I want to check that they will not lose any of their metadata.
Can anyone see any problems with this other than that it will increase the file sizes by around 10%?

Thanks for the link.
I have just discovered one important (to me) piece of data that is not retained  .  .  .  the time and date of shooting.
After being clipwrapped (new verb?) the creation date and time are altered to the those when  it was rewrapped.
I wonder if there is any way of keeping the original without copying it manually? (What an incredibly laborious task that would be!)

  • Is it possible to set up a new library that accesses referenced files from an old library AND retains all my Aperture adjustments

    I am moving files from one external hard drive to another, using the 'relocate originals' file command. This is very slow & tedious. Is there away to shortcut this? I was hoping to just set up a new library that would access the same files & folders on the new hard drive but this only results in preserving my original files, not all the Aperture data, the adjustments and metadata.
    Is there no better way than the 'relocate originals' file command?

    Just copy the library over to the new drive?

  • Help needed. Can I import MTS files directly into FCE?

    I am currently using iMovie, but iMovie doesn't recognise the .MTS files that my Panasonic AG-HMC41E produces.
    I was thinking of upgrading to Final Cut Express, but I don't know if that will solve the problem or not.
    Can anybody confirm that FCE will enable me to directly import .MTS files?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    As far as I have heard, transcoding to Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) makes a file that scarcely looks different from the original MTS; I should remind you that if you were able to ingest the MTS files directly into iMovie or Final Cut Express, they will do the same thing - transcode to Apple Intermediate Codec; they're just doing it within the interface of a capturing process. When they are ready for editing, they are now AIC. An app like Streamclip or ClipWrap is just helping you get this done outside of FCE or iMovie.
    ClipWrap 2 can rewrap your mts file as a MOV and leave it untouched - quality is the same. However, FCE won't edit that without having to render a lot. It's best to transcode it to AIC.
    There is a higher quality codec than AIC, called ProRes, but only Final Cut Pro can edit this.

  • I am not being able to play sound when I import a .MTS file from my folder

    I am not being able to play sound when I import a .MTS file from my folder on my sequence bar of my Premiere Pro CS6. Even if I use my Media Browser to import the file, the video plays fine, but the audio is disabled it seems. I don't know what to do since I have used .MTS files before without hassle on CS5.5. It is quite frustrating. What can I do?

    Hi debesh05,
    Please mention the Operating System that you are using and also make and model of the Camera that was used to capture those clips. Also, try to make another folder with the same name in the same location where the .MTS files are and move all the clips into the new folder and then try to import the files again using Media Browser in Premiere Pro CS6. If this doesn't work then make a copy of one file and rename it as .M2TS and then import that single file into Premiere Pro CS6. Please update if either of the solution works for you.
    Regards,

  • MTS files (and really, they're just MTS, not the entire folder structure)..

    OK, I see lotsa advice about dealing with MTS files...if they're in their proper folder structure.
    Well, that'd be easy, and I'd be importing them now if they were in their proper folder structure. But they're not...I have 503 .mts files, in a folder, that a client copied "for me", and now expects me to import.
    Any advice? Like I said, I only have the .mts files, not the supporting folder structure.

    Greetings all from Jakarta - i have a feeling this is going to be a lengthy response and will only be of interest for those currently suffering from MTS file issues, but I do believe (while my solutions are not perfect) I have found some answers. What I have not found, unfortunately, are the hairs that I pulled out of my armpits in frustration over these MTS issues.
    Background info: My office purchased the Panasonic HDC-TM700 to provide back-up to our Panasonic 170EN and we have been quite happy with the results. We have also been converting the MTS files to .MOV files on both Toast Titanium, and Final Cut Pro.
    SITUATION #1
    After a day of shooting I downloaded the TM700 files (full structure) to the hard disk. On day two after a full day of shooting I realized I forgot to format the camera's memory card so i had 50 MTS files that I already downloaded. Ever the smart guy, I highlighted file #51-#102 and dragged them into the STREAM file of the previous day's download. Then I formated the camera so i wouldnt forget the next day.
    Well during log and transfer in FCP ONLY THE FIRST 50 FILES could be read, because that is what the metadata in the info supported ..... FCP couldnt even locate the other 50 files. I nearly fainted at the thought of getting fired. Thank goodness, when we dragged the MTS files into TOAST TITANIUM they could be read and converted!
    SITUATION #2
    The new guy (seriously, it was the new guy!) ONLY DOWNLOADED THE MTS files and since I wasn't there I wasn't there to see the havoc when neither FCP or TOAST could open the files. I was called in and my first idea was to take an old file structure, copy it, and slip the MTS files into the STREAM folder.
    Well, it worked!! kind of.... The interesting thing is that the files could be converted in TOAST (FCP would not open the files) BUT ONLY TO THE TIME CODE THAT was equivalent to the original file. So if the original file was 1 minute and the file that I only had the MTS file for (and which corresponded to the file's number) was 5 minutes, only 1 minute was converted.)
    So what I did was I took the TM700 and I shot five minutes of my foot. Then I downloaded the full file structure. Since I only took one shot of five minutes there was only one file in the STREAM folder, which was a 598mb file numbered 00000.MTS
    I know I will regret it one day but i deleted the MTS file of my foot. Then I placed in one of the "homeless" MTS files into the (now empty) STREAM folder and changed the name to 0000.MTS -
    When opened in FCP log and transfer - IT DID NOT WORK. However, in TOAST I am happy to say IT WORKED, yayyyy. And the file that was converted was the length of the clip. What I thought might happen is that if the clip was only 30 seconds long but the foster file was 5 minutes then there would be 30 seconds of footage and 4.5 minutes of black empty space on video. That wasn't the case.
    THE SHORT TERM SOLUTION:
    Over the years I have been very very very lucky with all the help I have gotten over the internet and in my own small way I hope the following helps out others. So here is what I have done, with instructions.
    PLEASE NOTE I AM INDONESIAN LIVING IN INDONESIA SO WE USE PAL ..... 25 frames per second. .... Hopefully if someone in North America likes this idea and can help out, they will post a NTSC file structure.
    OKAY INSTRUCTIONS:
    1. Double click this link and download the file structure. The the file structure is only 68kb all your (and mine) frustrations for 68,000 bytes!!
    www.klirkom.com/helpout/AVCHD
    2. If you look inside the folder (AVCD->BDMV->STREAM) you will see AN EMPTY STREAM FOLDER. This is where you will place your "lost/not working" MTS files. Sorry, but this file structure only supports two files at a time. The first file is 5 minutes long, the second file is 33 minutes long (i was going to make it 10 minutes but I forgot about the camera being on and left it for 33 minutes ...)
    3. Change your first file name (preferably an MTS file less than 600mb so that the 'foster' file can cover it) to 00000.MTS. Now change your second file (preferably less than 4GB, but unless you are filming the whole wedding this should be okay for most people.... the important thing to remember is that if you want your full file converted without missing any parts at the end, the files should be smaller in size than the foster files) to the name 00001.MTS
    4. Now drag your newly named and newly placed MTS files into TOAST TITANIUM. Click convert. I have not tried this with other software but hopefully it works for you.
    5. If you want you can now rename your original MTS files to their original names and continue with the next two files. I know with 500 MTS files this is a HUGE pain in the buttox .....
    Okay, good luck all!!

  • Can't open MTS files (AVCHD) - help please

    I'm having trouble understanding a good workflow for my Canon HF S10 AVCHD camera. This stores files in the standard HD file structure (AVCHD -> BDMV -> STREAM), in MTS files.
    I always shoot in 24p and need to do pulldown removal all the time. While FCP 7 allows you to access MTS files (as long as you keep them in their original directory structure) in the Log and Transfer window and ingest them just fine, there's no option there to do the pulldown removal there. Furthermore, Compressor will not allow me to open MTS files (whether or not they're in their original directory structure) to perform the pulldown removal I need.
    As far as I've seen, the only thing I can do is to Log and Transfer first into ProRes, then go to Compressor and do the pulldown removal on those ingested files, writing back again to ProRes. But that's the old "making a copy of a copy", which I'd think would degrade the quality.
    I'd like to open the MTS files and convert them straight to ProRes while simultaneously doing the pulldown removal so I can avoid recompressing several times and degrading the quality.
    Ideas?

    Yes, it's annoying that in Log and Transfer it won't remove the pulldown, but here's the workaround.
    Log and Transfer as usual. Then create a droplet using Compressor that will remove telecine and transcode into your intermediate codec of choice (ProRes 422 or ProRes 422 LT would be my suggestions). Drag your original files onto the droplet and let it transcode them.
    VoltaicHD is a good program for doing this in one step, but it is really slow in my experience. I find it faster to do it in two steps using FCP and Compressor than doing it in one step using Voltaic.

  • Importing .cpi and .mts files into iMovie

    A friend provided me hundreds of .cpi and .mts files of footage he shot on a Canon Vixia camcorder. The files are on a DVD disc. How do I import them into iMovie 09?

    You may have already resolved this issue, but I found out some great information today from Sony directly.  I was having the same problem, and I was convinced iMovie (i'm using iMovie 09) couldn't import MTS files.  I was wrong iMovie does it very easily.  The problem iMovie has is when you connect your camera, most people click the "video camera" icon so they can see the videos on their camera they wish to import.  What I found is that if you haven't cleared off your video camera in some time, and have over 10 gigs of video on the camera, iMovie has a real hard time, because it has to search the camera and bring up the clips in that lower window pane and often times it will basically time-out, and if you click that camera again the iSight camera launches.
    What I did was go thru the clips on my video camera that I could delete (actually watched them on the camera itself), this can be time consuming.  But, once I cleared down the content on my camera under 10 gigs, iMovie saw the information quickly.  Here's another thing I did, that also may help...instead of clicking on that little camcorder icon, use FILE, Import from Camera at the top menu bar instead.  When I did this, it started looking for my attached video camera.  From now on I will clear off my video camera more frequently so that iMovie doesn't bog down looking for possible imporatable videos on the camera.  Recommendation from Sony was keep it under 10 gigs.
    Hope this helps.
    Tim
    P.S.  There is no truth to the idea that iMovie does not import MTS files.  My Sony HD Handycam takes all MTS files and iMovie has no problem with them at all.

  • FCPX not seeing video track of rewrapped MTS files

    I accidentally formatted an SD card containing AVHDC files that I needed, so I used a data rescue program to rescue the MTS files. Getting them into FCPX has been very trying. I used Smart Converter to "rewrap" the files as .mov, and Quicktime can read both audio and video, but for several of the files, FCPX only imports the audio track. I tried several different conversion programs, and even used a program to create an archive directly from the MTS files, but FCPX is refusing to see the video track on several important clips. Since Quicktime can read the video, I know it's there, but how can I get FCPX to see it? Thanks in advance for any help, I have been ripping my hair out over this one...

    The fewer times video is "stepped on" the better so, I do want it to leave the original video alone if at all possible. Audio... don't really care. Most 44.1/128kbps stuff is good enough for me (partial hearing loss...) but, I am meticulous, so all my audio is at least 48kHz 24 bit AIFF for production. FCPX does quite well with AAC, but obviously it should be analyzed and fixed on import... it is not an editing format. *My* camcorder exports AVC/AAC audio. AAC is usually an MPEG-4 Audio format and pretty much the current standard for AVCHD video.
    I have never seen SC Pro change the frame rate. However, I do know several consumer grade camcorders actually "lie" about their frame rates. Everything is shot at 59.94 and "interpolated" to the "advertised" optional framerates of 24 or 30 (technically: 23.98 / 29.97 p) if those options are selected by the camcorder user. If the video is 1080 -- it's 60i -- it doesn't matter what framerate you think you set (gotta read the fine print on these cameras!) 720 is actually 60p. SD is 60i interpolated down to (usually) 30i (and some cameras have the option of 30p.) So, Smart Converter must be seeing the original h.264/AVC video in it's native format when passing it through as 59.94 interlaced. That is not a bad thing. However, in FCPX, a 1080 project should be manually set up for 29.97p and have the 1080/60i media conformed to the 30p framerate.
    PS - I've actually seen perceptible color changes/loss of dynamic range after using ClipWrap (it was trying to do a transcode...) so, not convinced. Quicktime 7 Pro is the best app to use IF it can open and play the original video. Every conceivable/available export option (depending on system installed codecs) is available, so ProRes + Apple Lossless (AIFF) audio conversion and considerably less trouble to use (and 20 bucks cheaper) than Compressor. Unfortunately, it is no longer included with the OS and part of the FCP toolbox [free "Pro" activation when installing FCP Studio — which is too bad].  The best scenario is having FCPX import/ingest the original video without the use of a extra or third party app. That is, however, not really an option for the OP.

  • I have MTS files imported from a Canon HD cam. They import into I movie and I see them in the Finder folders and they preview fine. I have a new project and some of the clips are freezing and some audio is now gone? Do i need a file converter and convert

    I have MTS video files that import from a Canon Vixia HF S20 HD camera. I imported into I Movie. They converted into MOV files and I see them in the movies folder in finder. They view fine and run through the events folder in Finder. In I Movie, I created a new project and used a "Theme". The project worked fine at first but then some clips started to freeze and some lost audio. The effected clips are the same in the project library and in the event library, meaning they are froze in both places. As I said when i view through finder the MOV files preview and work fine.  Is this inherent to MTS files using in I movie. SHould i consider using a file converter to convert to MOV files prior to importing into I movie.
    I found on Apple support site info that states the MTS files can only be imported through the camera. I am developing my back up procedures and now I am faced with backing up in the original MTS files but not being able to reload if necessary into I movie. Any suggestions?

    I'd like to add that after I import these clips without thumbnails, iMovie does give me an error and say that they could not be imported. No explanation as to why, though. Again, they play fine on my camera.

  • Rewrapped AVCHD MTS files not playing correctly

    I'm using a Panasonic HDC-TM700 camera to record 1920x1080 60p.  The camera records to the AVCHD format which yields a .MTS file.  Final Cut Pro X still does not support importing from this camera.  I've tried the various tricks mentioned in these forums such as creating a camera archive, importing directly from the SD card, using Panasonic's AVC CAM restore tool, etc.  Nothing has been sucessful, so it looks like it's back to re-wrapping the .MTS file to a .m4v file.  To do this, I'm using the Rewrap2M4V apple script combined with ClibGrab as described in other discussions.  My newly wrapped m4v clips play just fine in Quicktime Player.  The movie inspector reports a FPS of 59.94 and a resolution of 1920x1080. 
    When I import these clips into Final Cut, however, I see two green or black empty frames about every 28-30 frames.  This occurs when I'm previewing the clip from the event library and when the clip in in the timeline.  The timeline is set to 1920x1080 59.94p, though I've tried 60p and saw the same behavior.
    When I export the clip to a h.264 .mov file, I don't see the green or black blank frames, but the picture is garbled in those places. 
    For what it's worth, I've installed the updated QT codecs.  Any ideas?

    I don't know what conversion engine clipgrab uses, but i have had success with the old Final Cut Express using ffmpeg based software to re-wrap the .MTS files from my panasonic GH2. I use Media Converter (an ffmpeg front-end) and if you go to their presets page you'll find presets i made to do it. Give that a shot maybe. Another thing you can try to do if that still does not work is a 'standards conversion' of the re-wrapped video to ProRes in JES Deinterlacer.
    good luck!

  • What export settings do I use to creat a .mov from a .MTS file?

    Hello!
       I have a .MTS file that needs to be exported to a .mov file for online submission guidelines. The picture quality is bad when there is movement. I inserted screen shots of the codecs for the native .MTS files and the export settings I used for a .mov files. I played around with the settings a lot. Thank you so much to anyone who helps, I really appreciate it :¬)

    I will drink to that...

  • Converting .MTS files to .MOV files

    I'm converting .MTS files from my new Sony AVCHD camcorder to .MOV files with a software called VoltaicHD. It works well but it takes for ever to transfer large amounts of footage. Anyone aware of a way to batch convert these files? Also, am I loosing quality with this conversion? Is this the fastest way to import those files in FCP running on a non-intel Mac?

    I'm afraid that you have discovered one of the downsides to working with AVCHD footage. Voltaic is known for taking about 12x realtime to transcode AVCHD footage. The only way that I know of to do it any faster is to get a new Intel Mac and FCS2, but even then it is going to take a while. FCP cannot edit AVCHD natively. It has to be transcoded to wither AIC or ProRes.

  • .mts and .m2ts HD movie files

    I have a problem which thousands of other users seem to have as well. I read many discussions about it. Many opinions and no clear answer.
    I have a Canon HF 100 HD camera. It generates .mts and .m2ts files which I want to edit in FCE 4.0.1.
    1.) Is it possible to edit .mts or .m2ts directly or do I have to convert?
    2.) What is the best converter software? I don´t mind paying for it
    3.) Which is the best format FCE can handle? I want no loss of quality.
    4.) What about ProRes? Does it work with FCE or only with FCP? Or do I have to use the Apple intermediate codec? How is the quality.
    Thanks in advance.
    Message was edited by: hoelp005

    Hi and welcome to the forum!
    1. FCE can not edit .mts files natively. However, it does support the AVCHD file format through the Log and Transfer process (check the manual for more info). If you have access to the full file directory or just plug in your camcorder and start Log and Transfer going within FCE, it should work fine without any need for extra conversion software.
    2. You don't need extra software. If you transferred the clips to your computer without their directory structure you can use ClipWrap to convert.
    3. FCE supports AVCHD frame sizes of 1440x1080 and 1920x1080 at frame rates of 60i/30p and 50i/25p. Shoot in one of those and edit in a sequence with properties to match.
    4. FCE does not come with the ProRes codec and it is not supported within the program. AIC is a high quality codec that should fit your needs perfectly.
