How do I import .MTS files from Card into I-Movie

how do i import files from my HD camcorder to iMovies?

Quite a few but mine specifically is the Sony dsc hx200v.
My New Mac desktop with Lions latest updates?
18.2 mp camera and 1080p HD video
The video files AVCHD movie quality will not transfer to IMovie .mts files need to be converted. I'm looking for the best process for Mac.
Also where do I show as running Tiger?
Thanks.

  • How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card to Final cut Pro 5.1.4

    How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card (recorded with the Sony HVR Z 7E) to Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 – is this possible at all?
    I managed to import the files to Premiere, but it was just a test. I am working at a very huge documentary project with Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 thats why I would prefere not to change the program or the version.
    Simply exporting from Premiere back to final cut is also very complicated.
    Thanks for any ideas.

    First, copy the card to a hard drive connected to your fcp workstation.  I always back up all card based media at least 2 or three times.  All hard drive will eventually fail.  It's a question of when, not if.
    I'm not familiar with this particular camera, but examine the contents of the copied files and see if you can find any .mov files.  You can try importing these directly into fcp.
    If you don't, you can try something like clipwrap
    http://www.divergentmedia.com/clipwrap
    or
    Magic Bullet Grinder

    But, I'd really advise upgrading to at least fcp6 or ideally fcp7 if you can find a copy.  HDV is a problematic format.  Although you can certainly work with it and it's a fcp approved format, converting your media to prores would make your life much easier.

  • How import mts file from sony nx5 in final cut pro

    how import mts file from sony nx5 in final cut pro

    LOG AND TRANSFER.  I have the full workflow here:

    Make sure you are running FCP 7.0.3.  That version deals with files from the NX5 the best.  If you are on a previous version, like FCP 6....you will need to use CLIPWRAP2 from Divergentmedia.com.  As the specific AVCHD format the NX5 uses is something that FCP 6 cannot really deal with. 
    Gotta love new camera formats.

  • Mts files cannot imported with audio in pro cc6. how i can import mts files with audio?

    when i am importing mts files in pro cc6. every time it is being imported without audio. though original mts files have audio. how can i import mts files with audio in cc6?

    To clarify Media Browser suggestion - very important that you copy ALL content from SD card to hard drive before importing using Media Browser. If you only have the .mts files alone, there is stuff missing that is needed for Premiere to properly interpret the video/audio.

  • Importing MTS Files from Canon HF100

    I am unable to import MTS files from my Canon HF100 SD card (or camera with card inserted) into iMovie 08. The files are grayed out. I have no problem importing standard definition files from the SD card. There are conflicting posting on this topic (some people appear to have no problems). Apple support tells me I need to get a conversion program. However, the Canon HF100 is listed as a compatible camcorder. I would appreciate any assistance. Thanks.
    Jeremy

    It seems like you shouldn't have to convert the files in case there is any loss in quality or file info. If you've only saved the .mts files to your hard drive you might try re-loading them onto the camera using the software that came with the HF100 (i forget was this is called and whether it even works on a Mac - i used a PC). The file structure will be reestablished and then the mac should be able to read it, whether the camera is plugged into the computer via usb, or if you plug the SD card into the usb port.
    I haven't tried the whole sequence described above but I've used a variation of it to put movies back on the camera, and also to convert the file structure back onto an SD card that was read by iMovie and a Playstation 3.
    In the future remember to download the entire file structure from the SD card if you want to save to a hard drive.
    I'm about to install Final Cut Express 4 and work with my HF100 videos so I guess I'll find out soon enough how easily the HF100 files are imported with that.

  • How do I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library on my laptop

    How can I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library? I put the flash drive into my laptop, selected " add file to library", selected the songs I wanted from the flash drive, and it looked like they were added as the names show under " recently added". Then I removed the flash drive from my laptop But when I select one of the songs and try to play it a message saying "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"  So it seems the actual files did not transfer. What do I do? I have done this. With a cd in the past with nsomproble,.

    Thank you!! This worked. It does seem there should be an easier way but this did work.
    Dragging the files to "Automatically Add..." is pretty easy once you know where to look.  Just make sure iTunes is running when you do it; otherwise the files will just sit there until the next time you open iTunes.
    (Interestingly, the way you originally tried to do would have worked fine except for one little detail:  you have to first go into Edit > Preferences > Advanced, and check the box for "Copy files..."  If that is not done, iTunes will reference the files on the flash drive, which of course are not accessible once the drive is removed, as you saw.)
    Anyway, glad that all is now sorted.  Enjoy the music!

  • How can I import Raw files from a canon eos 6d?

    How can I import RAW files from a Canon Eos 6D into aperture?

    Doesn;t look like the 6d is supported yet. I'm surprised, thought it would have  been in the latest update, 4.02.
    In the meantime you can shot RAW+JPG and use the JPG's now and then switch to the RAW's once it is supported or else you an convert the RAWs to DNG using Adobe's converter and import the DNGs.
    While I can't say for sure  Canon cameras are usually supported fairly quickly so hopefully you won't have to much longer to wait.
    regards
    And in the meantime let Apple now you want this see Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback

    Luis,
    Just to clarify one point…in order for Streamclip to convert the MTS I believe a plug-in like the AVCCAM QuickTime importer from Panasonic needs to be installed. (Credit David McClain over at the FCS boards for that info.)

  • How do I import audio files from itunes to my project?

    I know this could be very easy, I've imported music files from disc to projects before, but they keep going off line. So I want to find out an easier/better process to import music files from itunes into my FCP projects.

    #5 Imported music from CD or iTunes
    Shane's Stock Answer #5:
    To get music into FCP, it needs to be an AIFF file at 48khz, 16 bit stereo. So if you want a song from a CD, you go into the iTunes Preferences and set this up under the IMPORTING tab:
    File > preferences > importing > import using - AIFF encoder > Setting - Custom
    Sample Rate - 48.000 kHz
    Sample size - 16 bit
    Channels - Stereo
    If you have an mp3 that you want to use, then you can convert it thru iTunes as well.
    If the piece of music you want to use is something you purchased thru iTunes, I'm afraid I can't help you there. There are copywrite issues that prevent files from being converted into the format that FCP can recognize.

  • How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto?

    How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? Or how do I export individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? My final goal is to have a DVD of individual photos from a video I recently shot. Thanks

    Here is one way to do it, although you will see there could be variations.
    1) Open iMovie
    2) Start a new project - name it Stills for iPhoto (or a name of your choice)
    3) Go to your EVENT. Find the spot with the cursor that you want a photo of. Right-click (or control-click if you don't have a mouse) and select ADD STILL FRAME TO PROJECT.
    4) The photo should be in the Project called Stills for iPhoto.
    5) Right-click (control-click) on the photo and select REVEAL IN FINDER.
    6)When the finder window opens, right-click and select COPY. Go to your Desktop or a folder of your choice and right-click PASTE
    7) Drag the photo from your Desktop to iPhoto

  • How to import MTS files from Canon Vixia HF M40 to Mac for editing?

    I recently bought a Canon Vixia HF M40 and I have been able to import the MTS video files to iMovie, but now that I want to edit in Adobe Premiere, I am at a loss. Can someone tell me an easy way to import these files to either my computer or into the program itself for editing. It is entirely too time consuming to import into iMovie and convert every single file to quicktime only to import into Premiere and export yet again (not to mention the quality loss). Thank you for any help you can give me.

  • Import .MTS files from Panasonic HDC SD700 ( AVCHD )

    Does anyone know how to import .MTS files with FCP7?
    I have already tried it via the log and transfer way, that does not work for our .MTS files, even when I do it the same way described on this website for importing AVCHD footage from SDHC cards via the log and transfer.
    Is there maybe a codec missing? Adobe Premiere can use the .MTS files natively.
    Thanks,
    Petra

    The SDHC card gives 3 folders: MISC, PRIVATE and DCIM when I keep the original order and don't change anything in the folder it says when I use log and transfer-> adding files ->
    "MISC" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
    All the properties shown after adding the files are 00:00:00:00 and I cannot play or preview the files in the log and transfer screen
