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.

  • Importing AVI files from Adobe Premiere into Final Cut Pro 5

    I am editing a video for someone who captured the footage on a PC with Adobe Premiere, and he gave me a hard drive with the AVI files. Is there any way I can import them or convert them to import in Final Cut Pro 5?
    If not, would settings should he use when he exports the captured footage so that I can use it?

    Hello there,
    you can use QuickTime Player to convert the files. You need QuickTime Pro for export functionality, though.
    Step by step as follows:
    1. Open the AVI file in QT Player, select "File > Export".
    2. In the "Export:" pulldown select "Movie to QuickTime Movie".
    3. Select "Default settings" in the "Use:" pulldown.
    4. Click "Options" right to the first pulldown menu.
    5. Click "Settings" in the "Video" pane.
    6. Set Compression type to "DV/DVCPRO - NTSC".
    7. Set other options (interlaced/progressive) as needed.
    8. Click "OK".
    9. Set audio options in the "Sound" pane using the "Settings" button. (I don't have an AVI w/ sound here, so please see FCPs DV-NTSC Easy setup for approriate audio settings).
    10. Click "OK".
    11. Optionally: name the file.
    12. Click "Save".
    For the remaining files, use the "Most recent settings" option in the "Use:" pulldown of the export dialog.
    Unfortunately, while QT Player can export multiple files simultaneously, it has no batch capabilities, so you have to open and export each file by hand.
    Also, I'm not sure if QuickTime recompresses the files or just changes the container (even if the codec is the same).
    Other than that I always recommend Flip4Mac's Episode for this kinda work. This app even has a conversion preset for this. Also Episode allows for changing the container format (AVI -> QuickTime) without recompressing the frames.
    Hop this helps, Oliver

  • How do I get the compressed files from MPEG streamline into Final Cut Pro X?

    I'm on a deadline and I'm sitting here stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks

    Streamclip is a converter tool.
    FCPX is an editor.
    so, what do you want to accomplish? or, is the question?
    If you like to convert any sources, choose in Streamclips' many export settings the codecs corresponding to your Project settings in FCPX, probably proRes + resolution + framerate ....

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Cant import raw files from sony rx1003 into iPhoto

    Cant import raw files from sony rx1003 into iPhoto.  with rx1002 no problem! any suggestions?

    Every model of a manufacture's camera have a different  RAW format and, therefore, you'll have to wait until Apple receives the necessary information from Sony so they can create a RAW Compatibility Updater that includes that model.
    In the meantime you can try the Adobe RAW converter with might support that camera model to create a dmg file that iPhoto will recognize and begging shooting the highest resolution jpegs until the updater is released.

    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.)

  • Best way to export from Motion 2 into Final Cut Pro 5, working in DV?

    I am working in DV in Final Cut Pro 5, and I would like to get the best quality from anything I bring in from Motion 2 into Final Cut Pro 5, I keep hearing use the Animation codec. I would like to hear from the Panel of experts.
    Happy Thanksgiving,
    Sebastian

    The Best way is to round-trip from FCP. Or simply import the .motn file directly into FCP. If you require an alpha channel and for some reason don't want to bring the .motn file in, Animation with millions+ for the colors (+ is the alpha channel) will work, But if you just want straight DV, you should export a DV file.

  • From iTunes Store to Final Cut Pro

    How do open a song I downloaded from iTunes Store, into Final Cut Pro?
    I tried Opening it, in Final Cut, and I tried importing it. But it comes out as silence. Final Cut knows how long the song is, but that is it.
    Then can I edit the song in Final Cut?

    You can't and shouldn't.
    Your license doesn't permit it.

  • Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro

    I'm sure you've seen this before and I've tried to search for a thread on it here and fell asleep, so sorry if this is a repeat.
    I have edited projects in Premiere Pro (on my PC) and I have tried to transfer them in FCP. It worked with the exception of two things:
    1. the error message, "Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro"
    2. the quality *****! watching it on the playback in FCP it looks great, but then when I burn it to Disc it's pixelated in spots and generally has a lower quality picture.
    I know that it's Standard Def. and can't expect the best, but I've done it before (once or twice) and it didn't seem this bad.
    Can someone suggest anything to help the quality? Should I run my AVIs through MPEG Steamclip to make it a QT file and if so what is the best format in that since there are many to choose from and most I'm not familiar with?
    Thank you,
    Crayton

    I did compress them to DV NTSC then burned it to DVD and the result was no bueno.
    I thought what I would do is try compressing them again before I send them on over to DVDSPRO. Here is a simplified break down of the situation:
    - I have edited the raw footage in Premiere Pro on my PC. They were recorded and captured as SD.
    - I rendered them in Premiere, then transfered the rendered AVI file to FCP.
    - When went to place the files in FCP, I received the warning message; "Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro" but I went forward anyways and it allowed me to do so.
    - Originally I went ahead and compressed them from FCP to QT Movie as a DV NTSC, which ended up poorly.
    - Therefore my question is, should I compress them using another file type (other then DV NTSC)? Which leads me to another program that I have called MPEG Streamclip, which offers tons of file types of which I am unfamiliar with most. I want the best quality of course but don't know what file type is the highest going from AVI to a format that can be accepted by FCP and ultimately DVDSPRO. Keeping in mind that I only have FCP5 and do not have Prores.
    Did that make sense?
    Thank you again,
    Crayton

    Only the edited version which is no good without the audio?
    Please  Help

    What format is your problem clip? Are there wave forms visible in the section without sound?
    Right click on the clip in the event broswer and choose Reveal in Finder; open the clip in Quick Time to confirm that there is sound throughout at that stage of your workflow.
