I have FCP 5.1. Can I import AVCHD to it?

You should ask in the Final Cut Studio forum. Better chance of correct answer. This forum is for Final Cut Pro X.

I have a acrobat reader, can I import text delimited data format to a PDF Form so that it can auto fill into forms that was created? If not, what about FDF and XML data

I have a acrobat reader, can I import text delimited data format to a PDF Form so that it can auto fill into forms that was created? If not, what about FDF and XML data

Yes, you can do all of that via Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Import Data, if you have Acrobat.
If you only have the free Reader then you can still do it, but it requires a script.

Can't import AVCHD files since i've updated to OSX 10.7.

Can't import AVCHD files since i've updated to FCPX 10.03 and OSX 10.7. Before it worked ok.
When I try to import files from the Camera, or the Memory Stick they end up looking like offline files. On my other mac (iMac intel core duo 27", with OS 10.6) I can still import these files.

Make sure you don't have Proxy checked in Playback Preferences.

Can't import AVCHD from Canon F10 into FinalCutPro 6.0.4 via USB

Can't import AVCHD from Canon F10 into FinalCutPro 6.0.4 via USB. When opening Log&Transfer in FCP, no files show up (the Log&Transfer window do not seem to recognize the files on the camera). The camera shows up in Finder, though. - Do I need a driver?

sorry, of course USB is available for L&T, I use it every Friday so I should know better, I got two replies mixed up completly so thanks for correcting my mistake.
what I meant to suggest was if the camera does not show in finder or in L&T check the camea menu setting is set to connect to the hard drive and not from the camera or memory card.

Can't import AVCHD in to FCP X...

Hi,
I have FCP X 10.1.1 and I have on my disk backuped AVCHD movies. It's a complete copy of a disk on which they was recorded (complete PRIVATE folder with everything). QT see it and I can play it there, but when I'm trying to import it to the FCP X, I have it grayed ...
I try everything but no change. I can't use import from archve, while is greyed too.
Has anybody any help what can I do to import it to FCP X directly without any transcode or rewraping it?
Thanks.

You may well be doing something wrong, but unless you give a detailed explanation of exactly what you are trying to import and how, we cannot tell.
Just in case it's a problem with FCP X try these general troubleshooting tips:-
Use this free app to trash the preferences. This should be the first thing you try when any problems occur.

2. Open Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3. Trash FCP X using this free app and reinstall it.

If these 3 measures don't work, create a new User Account (Admin) in System Preferences and try running FCP X from that as it sometimes works miracles.

Can't import AVCHD from camcorder Error C0000005 at address:0

Every time I try to import any files from my camcorder I get a fatal error saying it can't import anything with an error code C0000005 at address 0. This is just the trial version as I'm trying to see if it will do what I want and so far I can't get it to so anything. PC is a Core I5 with 4gb ram and 200gb free drive space on Windows 7 64Bit. I don't like the Sony software so I was hoping this would do it. thanks for any ideas.

This is what I want you to try. I am assuming that you are in a NTSC area. Correct the following for PAL area if necessary.
Copy your AVCHD Full 1920 x 1080i (I am assuming recorded at 30 frames per second or designated 60 fields per second) with its 5.1 channel sound to your computer hard drive.
As you open Premiere Elements, set the project preset (new project dialog) = NTSC AVCHD Full HD 1080i30 5.1 channel.
Using Premiere Elements' Get Media/Files and Folders, bring the video from the saved hard drive location into the Premiere Elements Media/Timeline.
If you are not 100% sure of the quality in the Edit Mode Monitor, you could:
a. try right clicking the video on the Timeline, selecting Field Options from the pop up list, and then see if checking Reverse Field Dominance improves the quality of what you are seeing in the Monitor....I suggest that because I think that you probably recording to a memory stick.
b. render the Timeline by pressing the Enter key of the computer main keyboard to get the best possible preview of the end product
Assuming that is a "go" and after completing your edits, head over to Create Menus. Do that. But, remember, because you have selected a HD project preset, the only DVD menu templates that will be available to you will be HD ones (and you are heading for a DVD-VIDEO widescreen). But, continue nonetheless. Let us see what it will look like.
After Create Menus, preview the menu buttons and the video there. If OK, continue to Share/Disc/Disc and burn to disc (do not get tempted into burn to folder or fall into ImgBurn just yet). In the burn dialog, set the preset for NTSC_Widescreen Dolby DVD that will give you DVD-VIDEO widescreen 16:9. In that same burn dialog, make sure that you have a check mark next to Fit Content to Available Space. When you have your DVD disc in the DVD burner tray, you will see a Quality area in the burn dialog. It will display values for Space Required and Bitrate. If the Bitrate is less than 8, the quality may be impacted because the program is having a problem fitting your content in the space required. But, keep moving forward and hit Burn.
Next, play that back on your TV DVD player and see what that looks like. I have gotten some pretty great results taking a AVCHD 1920 x 1080 to DVD-VIDEO 720 x 480 Widescreen playback on TV DVD Player. More details on that later. By the way, Premiere Elements does not offer Dolby Digital 5.1 channel sound for the export, just Dolby Digital Stereo. No Dolby Digital 5.1 channel sound even for BluRay.
I will be watching to see how you do.

HT5251 Can't import AVCHD into iPhoto after upgrade

I created a new iPhoto library after doing the upgrade and tried all the suggested methods for importing my avchd folders and it didn't work! Am I missing something? The quicker they dump avchd the better!

I have the same problem with iPhoto 9.3's advertised ability to import AVCHD videos, and I also carefully followed Apple's instructions. (I am using the latest version of Mac OS X too; 10.7.4.) I get lots of "unreadable files" due to "unrecognized format", even with MTS files.
In addition, Apple's instructions imply that the camera should either mount and allow AVCHD movies to be imported in the usual way, or not mount at all, in which case Apple's instructions for copying appropriate folders should be followed. However, my Panasonic FZ150 mounted normally, but no AVCHD movies showed in the list to be imported.
I reported this to Apple via "Provide iPhoto Feedback" in the iPhoto menu.
Has anyone got this to work with the publicly-released version of iPhoto 9.3?

CS3 with Codec MainConcept DVCPro HD CODEC v7 7 0 23862 rar - can't import AVCHD (m2ts files)

Hi,
I have a Panasonic hdc-sd9 and just looking for a programm with which I can import the AVCHD (m2ts files).
I saw here( http://www.videoaktiv.de/200805171688/News/Camcorder/Panasonic-Broadcast-AVCHD-goes-profes sional.html ) that Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 with the Codec MainConcept DVCPro HD CODEC should work for the Panasonic File Format.
I have saved one video as a mpg file. I imported it to Premiere Pro CS3. I could import the mpg File but I had not audio sound in Premiere Pro CS3, but the mpg movie, for example when I start the movie in Windows Media Player or VLC there is sound.
Somebody can help me or provide me another programm which work?
Do somebody have the same problem ?
Thanks
Cheers
Flo

Hi Harm,
Thanks for the answer.
But can an mpg File have 5.1 sorrund sound ? Is this not yet Stereo ?
This is one of the problems...
Do you maybe have an idea regarding the importing problem with the m2ts file too ?
Thanks a lot
cheers

Can't import AVCHD footage from my canon HG10 camcorder

I have a Canon HG10 that shoots AVCHD high def footage. I've always gotten it to import footage into final cut pro 7 and iMovie (before switching to osx lion) Now that I have final cut pro X, I try to add the camcorders files into the import bin and it gives me an error saying the following:
"AVCHD" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure.
Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
I tried the "log and transfer" in the old previous version of final cut pro (which always worked for me before installing lion) and it also gives me an error. Same thing with iMovie now.
Is there some way I can get this to import into final cut pro X? If not, is there any other 3rd party transfer program or any other solution to get my footage onto my hard drive to edit in final cut pro X?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Okay, so I made a disk image of my camcorders hard drive. I mounted the image and tried importing the archive. It still does the same thing. Let me also clarify one thing. Only when I click on any folder contained in the image does it give me the error message:
"AVCHD" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure.
Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
When I click on the actually disk "CANON_HDD" it appears in the import window for a half second before dissapearing. Sorry, I didn't mention this earlier. Can anyone please give me a solution for this?

Can I import AVCHD to iMovie and edit

Hi - new to this, but have just been bought Panasonic HDC-SD800 HD camcorder. Before I play with it, the instructions suggest that the only format I can use with imovie11 is 'i frame' which is 960x540/25p. As I already have a similar 'standard' canon camcorder with similar definition, is there any point in keeping the new Panasonic. Am I missing something here, or is this 'new' Panasonic just not Mac friendly?

If you have the camera, your best bet is to shoot a minute of footage with it and see if it will import to iMovie. I think it will. Check your owners manual for recording mode. You should have several choices, including 50P, 50i, 25P and iFrame. If you choose 50i, 25P, or iFrame, it will work with iMovie. If you choose 50P, it will not be editable in iMovie without some bit twiddling. I think you will like 25P the best, but if you are shooting sports, you should also try 50i. In fact, try it anyway so you get to see both and choose the one you prefer.
iFrame produces movies that will look almost as good as the AVCHD (you probably will not be able to tell the difference) but the import is much quicker, and the fill sizes are much smaller.
Let me seeif I can decipher the manual for you.
"This unit is based on AVCHD format/MPEG-4 AVC file format.
Video signals for the AVCHD that can be played back with this unit are 1920x1080/50i, 1920x1080/25p and 1440x1080/50i. Video signals for the iFrame that can be played back with this unit are 960x540/25p
Like I said, stick to 50i or 25P if you want to edit in iMovie and/or play back on a TV set. Use 1920x1080 for highest quality (but this will also be the biggest file size. 50i and 25P are about the same in file size. (50P would be 4 times bigger in file size - but do not use 50P mode if you want to edit it.)
When motion picture is recorded in iFrame format
You can play back on Mac (iMovie11)
It is not compatable with motion pictures recorded in AVCHD format."
This means basically that you can edit and play on the Mac. From there you can share to a Blu Ray, DVD, Apple TV, iPod, iPad, iPhone, the Web, etc. etc. The key message is that you cannot edit the iFrame on a Windows computer.
It is also possible to record in 1920x1080/50p at maximum quality.
Quote-
"The scenes recorded in 1080/50p can be saved or played back by this unit or the HD writer AE 3.0"
It is possible to record in 50P at maximum quality, but what they are telling you is that you will be limited to playing it back on the camera. Television sets will not play 50P. iMovie will not natively edit 50P. I assume the HD writer AE 3.0 is a proprietary Panasonic disc burning program. It is likely Windows only, so it will not work on your Mac.
If you want to edit 50P on your Mac, here is an excellent blog post on how to do it. You can judge for yourself whether you feel comfortable doing it.
From the above, can I move HD from this unit into iMovie and edit without too much hassle or do I return it and stick with the perfectly decent 5 year old Sony not in HD that just 'works'. I have happily played with iMovie for 3 years and want to be able to tidy up family videos.
If I were you, I would keep it and shoot at 25P. I think you will really like the HD quality.
Keep in mind that if your final result is DVD, then evertying will be converted back to standard definition anyway. You will need to find new ways to share your results with your family.
The Apple TV is a great way to do this. Also YouTube does a great job these days making it easy to share 1080P video with friends and family. Finally, you can invest in a BluRay device. I don't generally recommend this, because if you want to give copies to family or friends, they would need a BluRay player as well.
There are a lot of nuances to BluRay. Come back and ask if you want to go that route.
Good luck.

How can I import AVCHD files from my hard drive?

- How can I work with .mts files from my Sony camera that I dragged from the camera to a folder on my computer. If I understand it well, if I import the files with a Log and Transfer, they will be converted to another format.
- do they lose quality with the Log and Transfer conversion?
I want to erase my sony camera hard disk but do not want to lose the original files, that is why I ask.

Hi -
In order to use the files from your camera easily (without 3rd party software) you need to not only drag the mts files, but the ENTIRE DIRECTORY STRUCTURE of the camera storage to your hard disk drive. Many people find it most convenient to use Disk Utility to make a disk image of the camera storage media, and keep the disk image on their hard disk, available for re-use at any time.
The additional folders that are present on the camera storage give necessary and valuable information to Final Cut as to how to "unpack" the extremely compressed video files. Without these files as guides and instructions, it becomes a much more difficult process.

How can I import avchd or .mts format

When connecting my camera to my mac. Final Cut Pro X recognizes my camera but the video clips are no where to be seen. And it when I tried to import them directly from the sd card the .mts file was greyed out. What should I do? I have the Sony DSC-HX9V in case you were wondering what camera I have.

Hi,
Remux freeware will do this in seconds!

Convert to any format just by changing the container. No quality loss.
Good Luck!
