How to convert mts to prores

Can anyone recommend a good app to convert MTS to ProRes. The client that I am working with unfortunately didn't understand how to organize their footage. Basically I have just been given one humongous folder with .mts files. The Private folders and structures are gone.
I tried opening in MPEG Streamclip and the it won't open them. FCP X doesn't recognize them either.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Yeah...what Tom said about Clipwrap.. 1st class ( I've used Media Converter and wasn't happy with the quality) to which I would add... I believe that VLC media player will play the clips if you wanna do some housekeeping/naming etc. first but it will not convert nada.

How to convert .mts file to Adobe Premiere?

I shoot my family party with my Sony HDR-XR500V with the output video format of .MTS . I tried to do some editing on Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. But it does not support mts file. I have made some searches ,and i found that the Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 can edit the file formats of mpeg2 and avi. So i am wondering how to convert mts file to mpeg2 and avi for me to edit on Adobe Premiere Pro CS4? what software and programme should i need.and where can i get it. Thanks.

As long as you have a AVCHD converter, you can use almost any editing software to edit and perfect your MTS/M2TS video files. What you should do is converting AVCHD video files into the video formats editable by editing software you are using.
As for this question, you can convert MTS from your HD camcorder to MPEG 2,MOV or AVI supportable by Adobe Premiere.
I recommend Brorsoft MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac which is the fastest and best quality video converter i ever used.It can help you to convert MTS/M2TS recording to some playable and editable video formats, like MOV for editing on iMovie,FCP,FCE and Adobe Premiere you are using.
I ever used some video converter which produces video files with the issue of video and audio out of sync, but Brorsoft works fine in this point.

How to convert MTS files for capture in Final Cut Express 4

*PLEASE HELP!!!* While waiting to buy my iMac I saved my Canon Vixia HF200 AVCHD video clips on a PC with backups stored on an external HD. I transferred these to my iMac and they are in .MTS format. I can not open them in either iMovie or Final Cut Express 4. I gather I need to convert the files somehow. What is the best way to do this? _Thank you for your help!_

Here are your options now that you just have the files...

As Tom said, next time import directly from the volume rather than copying the .mts files.

How to convert MTS files

Hello, I have a Canon HD camcorder HG10.
This Camcorder produces *.MTS files.
However, all supporting software is Windows based and not Mac based.
I have searched the web but didn't find any solution till so far (I'm just a user and not a programmer ...).
May be some people here have some experience and have found some solutions?
If so I would be grateful to hear from you.
Best regards!

Here's a great solution using Roxio Toast 9 (it's available as a download purchase for immediate use). Drag your mts files into Roxio Toast and burn a DVD-Video of them (don't make a data file). Roxio will convert them to a video format. You can play this video on your television.
But, you want to be able to edit the files, which are now in a standard video format. Roxio Toast can then be used to extract the video and audio files out as editable audio. And, it's fast.
Previously I used Voltaic and one 4 gig MTS file took over 17 hours to process, and then it would only play the audio on the last 10 minutes (Voltaic won't process the video after a certain number of gigabytes). Using Roxio Toast I burnt a Video-DVD and then extract an edible version in less than an hour.

How do you convert .mts to .mov for Quicktime and iMovie?

I have a bunch of mts recordings from my Sony Handycam. Now I want to import them to my Mac and then put them into iMovie for further editing. How do I do? I heard that mts should be converted to mov format which maintains high quality but compatibale with iMovie and Quicktime. Is there any freeware to convert *.mts files to mov? Thanks for any recommendations.

The best solution is to not convert at all and import directrly from your Handycam, you can do this from the File>Import menu. Check to se if your Handycam is supported here https://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US
NOTE: the following is converting video and is always time intensive so take that into consideration.
For the videos on your disk it is sadly too late for that so you will have to get a converter, I recommend Handbrake http://handbrake.fr . You can convert the file to an mp4 which can handle the same (and better) quality video as mov does and it supports AVCHD video (the same quality as your camra).
Simply select MPEG-4 (mp4v2)
Video Codec: H.264 (this is what is in an MOV file)
and set "constant quality" around 13 or below (the smaller the number the higher the quality but larger file size)
You end up with Bly-Ray quality, iMovie accaptable video.

How do I convert MTS to MOV on my macbook mountain lion 10.8.5?

Hi,
I need to convert MTS files to MOV. I'm using a Macbook late 2008 OSX version 10.8.5 Mountain Lion.

Thanks...

10.8.5 is not available yet. We can't discuss unreleased software on this forum.

Convert mts to final cut pro

Using either media encoder or premiere export cs6, how do I convert mts files so that they will be editabe in final cut?
Thanks.

It's not a good idea to be using H.264 as an export format for further editing. Ideally you should be using something more robust like UT (found below), DNxHD or ProRes.

However, FCP should be able to deal with original MTS files (from the camera) by itself.

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.

How to rescue MTS files with no AVCHD folder structure?

Occasionally friends ask me for help with AVCHD cameras but as I have not yet got one I have to rely on what I read on the forums.
I have experimented with AVCHD clips from the DVD accompanying Tom's FCE 4 Editing Workshop book and have a couple of questions.
1. From my tests it appears that the whole folder structure is not necessary. Just having the BDMV folder and all its contents appears to be sufficient for FCE 4 to recognise and convert the files. Is this correct?
2. People who accidentally destroy the folder structure and just save the MTS files find that FCE cannot recognise them.
I have found that RevolverHD and VLC can both play the basic MTS but only VLC can transcode them and that is only to a limited number of codecs. However, once transcoded the files could then be put into Streamclip and converted to AIC.
Rather a complex and potentially degrading process.
So what other apps would be better to use for converting MTS to AIC or ProRes?

Let's sort through a few things. Yes, only the BDMV folder is needed, but you need the whole folder, in which case you may as well have all the metadata and take the whole folder structure for archiving.
1440x1080 does not need to be converted to 1920x1080. 1440x1080 is anamorphic AVCHD and is included in the AVCHD specification. In fact there is a 1440x1080 preset in FCE and that's all you have to use. The media is anamorphic, and it displays in normal 16:9 widescreen as 1920x1080.
The same clip when simply rewrapped as an H.264 changed from 23.5MB to 31.4MB.
This appears to be because it was automatically given extra pixels to stretch it out to 1920x1080.
The file size difference is not the pixel size. If the media is 1440x1080 H.264 mts rewrapped to QuickTime the file will be larger because the QT file structure. It will still be H.264 1440x1080.

How to convert .tod extension files

how to convert .tod extension files for use in final cut pro

DLewis from rocklin wrote:
Unfortunately you can not convert .TOD file extensions for Final Cut Pro to use. The .TOD is something proprietary that JVC used a few years ago. The best thing to use is MPEG Streamclip and convert the .TOD files to a Quicktime file using the AIC codec from the convert settings in the MPEG Streamclip program.
Good advice, except for the AIC codec part. The native codec for FCP X is ProRes. Use ProRes 422.
(AIC was used by FCE and is still used by iMovie; while you can use it with FCP X, it is not the preferred codec).

Convert mts files for editing in Final Cut?

Is there a way to convert mts files for editing in Final Cut Express or Pro?

Well, first, if you are talking about AVCHD video, FCE & FCP can directly import it from your camcorder. They will also import AVCHD from an SD card or even your hard drive provided you have saved the entire AVCHD folder structure, not just the .mts files by themselves.
If you only have the .mts files (without the surrounding AVCHD folder strucutre) then you should be able to use MPEG Streamclip to convert them to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec for editiing in FCE. MPEG Streamclip is free and works great.
If that doesn't work, then look into ClipWrap, which has a $49.99 price tag.
This will work the same for converting .mts files to ProRes assuming you already have FCP installed, which gives you the ProRes codec.
FCE & FCP do not, however, directly import video from DSLRs because the camera manufacturers have each done some proprietary stuff in their implementation of video in their DSLRs. However, if you have a Canon DSLR & FCP (that is, FCP 7) there is a Canon EOS video plugin that will enable you import the video directly from the DSLR into FCP7. Not sure it's supported on Lion (10.7.x) just yet, but if you have a Canon DSLR it's worth a look.

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.
