How to Import AVCHD Files in Final Cut Express 4

Hello,
I try to import (log) my AVCHD files from a Panasonic HD Cam. The camcorder setting is 1920x1080 25i (HG). The logging-preview is fine but no matter which preferences I use in FCE 4, the clips are not synchronized. Video is a little bit fasterthan audio. How can I synchronize that?
Regards, Huwu

Shoot and edit in standard video formats and use Graeme Nattress' Film Look plugin.
This? http://www.nattress.com/Products/filmeffects/filmeffects.htm
So my best bet is to shoot in 1440x1080 (12Mbps) and a frame rate of either 60i or PF30 when using FCE4?
What is the difference between 60i and PF30 frame rates?
I am using a Canon HF10.

How to Import AVCHD Files?

I recently purchased a Sony HandyCam HDR-SR10 Camera. I love the camera overall but now i have video files that i need to put on my computer. After speaking with Sony Support they said that in order to transfer files i must use the camera as a hard drive basic stuff just click and drag. However i ran into the problem that all of my AVCHD Files were not able to be opened by any program. After reading up and looking around i found that it seems Final Cut Express 4 now has the ability to import AVCHD files DIRECTLY from the camera to Final Cut Express... I really would like to know how to do this in Final Cut Express.... Any Help, Insights, or Tutorials, would be GREATLY appreciated. I really just need to know how to import the files to my computer and be able to edit them.....
-- thanks in advance.... charlie

Imovie freezes osx 10.9.3 & how to import AVCHD files?

Hi,
I have 2 questions:
1. imovie freezes:
Since a few days, imovie freezes when being launched.
I do not know the version I have and I do not think I can find out as ... imovie crashes before it even opens.
I have a macbook pro and got it in May 2014, so the imovie should be not older than whatever version was current back then.
I am not sure when it exactly started crashing, the first time I noticed it was last week when trying to import AVCHD clips from a camera. imovie would not launch so I used quicktime instead.
This brings me to my second question
2. how can I access AVCHD files to use in imovie?
Thanks

I do not have a time machine file available.
I believe the issue started after I imported AVCHD files from a camera by using quicktime since imovie did not let me do it.
After that, it has been crashing ever since.
I found the suggestion to delete all quicktime files in library-quicktime except AppleIntermediateCodec.component and AppleMPEG2Codec.component, but those were actually the only 2 files in there.
I also found the suggestion to delete all com.apple.imovie files in library-preferences, but there are no .imovie files in there at all.

How to import AVCHD files to Aperture3.4.5 from DSC-RX1

According to my Aperture library, avchd files were abile to recognaized at this April.
Is this a problem about Aperture 3.4.5?
Please let me know how to fix it.
Thank you.
I use 1080 i 60 avchd.

Have you changed the folders on your card? Then see this:
Aperture 3.3: AVCHD clips may not import if folder structure on card is alteredhttp://support.apple.com/kb/TS4302
Also have a look at the supported AVCHD formats: 1080i60 should be supported.

How to edit AVCHD Files shot in 24p when they are a 60i Wrapper?

Does anyone have a solid workflow for converting AVCHD files that are in a 60i wrapper back to the 24p they were recorded in so that they can be edited in FCP? I am using a Canon Vixia HF 11 as my camera and it saves its files in the above format, and can't seem to find a clear definitive answer to the question. Thanks!

have you tried using cinema tools, compressor or a third party product like JES De-Interlacer to look at the wrapped footage and try to convert it?
A lot of people on the net have been trying to get canon to provide flag data on camera so programs can handle it easier, but canon seems to say "it's a consumer camera, if you need this, buy our pro cameras"
i use cinema tools to convert my footage and then create a new project in fcp as 1920x1080 24p 48hz and edit it within that, then put it to toast and burn it as a blu-ray on dvd. the footage looks incredible when you do it.
if you plan on using canons 24p(60i) just get ready for a little work.

How to convert AVCHD files on a PowerMac G5?

I have recently bought a Powermac G5 to use for editing my videos, as my Macbook 2005 is on it's last legs.
The only problem is i didn't realise how much trouble i would get myself into in terms of compatability. I need to convert AVCHD to MPEG so i can import my clips into iMovie or Final Cut.
I read in another discussion that VoltaicHD would solve this problem, and does work on PowerPC Processors, but it keeps telling me it is not supported on this architecture.
Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers, Oli

Hopefully you did not pay much money for a Powermac G5...
At the end of the day, unless your time and effort has no value monetarily, you will watch endless while this ancient machine tries to transcode AVCHD video.
The time needed on even the slowest and least expensive of modern Macs (Mac Mini) will be amazing!
When my iMac G5 died, I replaced it with the 2011 Mac Mini and now I do ALL my transcoding on this machine; what a difference!
To answer the remainder of your question: what purpose do you need MPEG video for? Do you mean MPEG-2 for creation of DVDs?
In any event the current version of Handbrake (running on a modern Mac) will handle most anything that you need other than DVD creation.

How to import AVCHD files to imovie

Hi Apple community, I just got a Cannon Vixia R300 and I can't import AVCHD to iMovie. Any suggestions. Thank you.

This camera should work easily by taking the SD card and putting it in a USB (or built-in) card reader.
Open iMovie and it should recognize the card. If it does not after a minute or so, try FILE/IMPORT FROM CAMERA.
If you import by hooking a USB cable to the camera, make sure that the camera is plugged into AC power, not batteries only.
What have you tried?

Ipad 3 AVCHD files

Does anybody know how to import AVCHD files direct into an ipad 3 using the camera connection kit without having to download and convert in a Mac first? Motion Jpeg and jpegs are fine but I much prefer the quality of AVCHD, any suggestions very welcome!

You will need to at least "remux" them as long as these files are not interlaced. In most cases (except, again, for interlaced footage), full, time-consuming and quality-degrading reencoding isn't necessary.
Please read, for example, http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/review-video-converter-ivi-pro-ipads-iphones for more info on remuxing.

How to prevent color banding in AVCHD files on import?

Hi!
I am trying to import some 1080 60i AVCHD files from my Panasonic G3 camera into iMovie '11. Once the files are imported they show very strong color banding/pixelation, that does not show up if I play the clips on the same computer/screen directly from the SD card in Quicktime player. Here is a screenshot from of the original frame, and here is exported movie.
I am using all default setting for export to Quicktime movie (1080 HD, "Best" quality).
For import I tried so far:
1. Import into iMovie at full quality from the SD card;
2. rewrap AVCHD into MOV (with ClipWrap) without resampling then import
3. convert AVCHD to Apple Intermediate codec (with Clip Wrap), then import
No difference!
Is it even possible to avoid such banding/pixelation with iMovie or another video editor that's available for free/cheap? If yes, how is it done?
Here is a 40 Mb mts file if you want to try to test your method: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40852067/00011.MTS
Will appreciate any advice!
Thank you in advance,
Vlad

Finally found a solution to this problem:
Remove saved state for Fireworks CS6 on Mac OS X Mountain Lion
Quit Fireworks.
In the Finder, navigate to /Users/Your User Name/Library/Saved Application State/com.macromedia.fireworks.savedState
3 files in folder:
data.data
window_1.data
windows.plist
Prefix files with 'OLD' just to be safe.

How do I play my MTS (AVCHD) files on my TV?

I have read alot bout media players like Roku and WDTVbut it appears that almost every piece of hardware out there does not support .MTS (AVCHD) files. Which is insane to think Canon sells HD camcorders that saves in a format that isn't supported anywhere...Maybe they should make their own Smart TV or media player...of course that's beside the point.
Anyway, from my cursory research, it seems there are only a few options:
1---Convert my .MTS files to some file that's readable on a media player or Smart TV
2---Connect my laptop to my TV with VGA cable or WiDi
3---Use the PLEX channel on Roku
So far PLEX seems like the easiest solution, but I wanted to get the forum's opinion. My main concern is that converting/transcoding video into new formats will lose HD quality. Similarly, I'm concerned that streaming my videos on TV through WiDi does not provide the same HD experience. With that being said, would PLEX be any better that those other options?
More concise: How do I play my home movies on my TV retaining the highest HD quality?

Well ,first you should know , if you compress your video, no matter what format you convert to , it will defenitely has the quality loss, even you will not notice by your eyes. But you can improve it manually. During your conversion , (whatever converter app you use), it may have the option to let you imporve the Bitrate and Frame rate. That two will help you improve the quality. But try to keep the balance between those two or you will get some blurred video.

How can I import or download AVCHD files on a memory card to FCE?

How can I import or download AVCHD files on a memory card to FCE?

What camera is this from? Make sure it is actual AVCHD and not some variant such as AVCHD Lite which is not supported.
Also, try this: In the Log and Transfer Pane, click on the Gear icon do set the preferences and set the Import
Preferences > AVCHD Plugin > AC3 Audio to Plain Stereo.
You can also download a trial version of Clipwrap and see if by converting the files to AIC with that software, then importing the files to FCE you have better luck.

TS4293 How can I make iMovie to show me the AVCHD files importet by iPhoto?

My iMovie 11 shows the videos from my iPhone importet by iPhoto, but not all the videos importet the same way from my camera. It works fine with the videos recorded in MP4 but not at all with the AVCHD. How can I make iMovie to show me the AVCHD files? iPhoto imports and shows the AVCHD fine. Also I could import the AVCHD files with iMovie but then they would be twice on my computer and use a lot of space.
thanks for your help

Right now, iMovie won't edit AVCHD wrapped files. You have a few options:
1. Import the videos with iMovie. Afterwards, you may add the imported movies to iPhoto if you want.
2. Import the videos with another app. (Too numerous to mention.)
3. Convert the videos with a third-party tool.
4. Wait for a future version of iMovie that adds this capability.
