Import file mts from camcorder Panasonic HDC-HS700

I'd like to ask if it is possible to import file mts from my panasonic. I have imac 27" i7 with imovie 11, final cut express 4, but i don't know how to import or read the file saved on my panasonic in format avchd 1080 / 50p.
Is there another software to convert the file ? because in w7 i use the "HD writer AE" (software supplied by panasonic) but is only for pc ant there in no version for mac.
Many thanks.
Paolo

50p will not work directly with FCE.
50i is fine.

  • How do I import videos from my Panasonic HDC-TM55 to my ipad3

    Is it possible to import videos directly from my Panasonic HD video camera to my iPad 3?

    iMovie iOS was made to edit video shot on the device.
    It cannot edit video that cannot be imported into the camera roll, or photos app.
    You will need to convert the video to the same format as the iPad shoots.

  • I'm having trouble downloading video from my Panasonic HDC/TM900

    I'm having trouble downloading video from my Panasonic HDC/TM900. It seems it is designed to work with PC's.
    Can anyone help with this?

    If you have not done so already, I recommend updating Final Cut Pro X to 10.0.5.
    And if that doesn't work, download the following applicaton (FREE) and use it to convert your footage to Apple ProRes, or another compatible video coded/format...

    Also, I recommend installing the PERIAN QuickTime extension (FREE) on your computer...

  • Failing to import files correctly from Handycam DVD camera

    Hi,
    I try to import files directly from my Sony Handycam DVD camera to PRE8 by inserting the DVD in the PC.
    There is only audio at the first part of every file. Approximately the first 20 - 30 % of the total video length. The sound does not appear neither in playback in W media player, Quick Time, W movie maker or PRE. Why am I missing the audio?
    What is the best way to import for editing in PRE?
    What is the best file type for editing in PRE?
    What is the fastest way for converting, if needed?
    My handycam camera provides wide screen option. But the wide screen in PRE8 seems to be "wider" than the camera...

    Seems like this got the answers to most of my problems
    That "More Like This" area can really work sometimes. Glad that you saw it, and that it helped.
    If you have more issues, please let us know and good luck,

  • Im trying to upload videos from my panasonic HDC-SD900 to my macbook pro 2012

    Im trying to upload videos from my panasonic HDC-SD900 to my macbook pro 2012, nothing comes up when imovie is open,and i cannot see any of the videos. anyone know how to upload these videos??

    Have you created a printer instance in your system, that corresponds to the physical printer?
    System Preferences / Print & Scan, click on the plus + button and find your printer: IP, Windows or Bonjour (Default). Make sure the correct driver is selected and that any user-configurable settings (internal drive, duplex unit, etc.) are correctly set.

  • Importing AVCHD Files From a Panasonic HDC-HS9 Camcorder

    I have FCE 4.0 and iMovie '08. When I try to import from my Panasonic camcorder, I get the thumbnail, but when I try to import the video file, both programs crash. I have used VoltaicHD successsfully, but I would like to avoid the intermediate step if possible. Does anyone have any experience with this camera. I have tried different camera resolutions, all with the same negative result.
    Jim

    After searching the internet I ended up buying VoltaicHD for $30 by downloading it from the "Shedworx" website. The way it works is: you attach the HDC-SD9 to your MAC with the supplied USB cable. The HDD and SD card will show up on your desktop. If you open each one, you'll find a file called "Stream" which will contain all of your video clips. Drag and drop each file to the Voltaic window and start the decompression process by simply hitting start. Tell Voltaic where you want the files to be stored on your computer and then be very patient, because the process can take a long time. But it does work. The MTS files in your camera are converted to Quicktime files which can be imported to Final Cut or iMovie. It's time consuming, but you do get HD files out of the process, although the audio is only stereo and not 5.1 surround sound.

  • What is the best way to transfer video from a Panasonic HDC-SD60 camcorder on to a DVD using iDVD?

    I am trying to get my Panasonic HDC-SD60 camcorder to transfer video over to a DVD using iDVD.  The iDVD wants the firewire connection to be used,  No mini USB to firewire line exists.  Any help?

    iDVD is part of the iLife suite of apps.
    in this collection, iMovie is the 'importer', esp. via usb from AVCHD-devices like yours.
    plus editor, I mostly doubt, you haven't to 'clean' here&there your recordings
    from there you 'share' to iDVD.
    you'll notice a loss of quality in this process due to  cam is HDef, any videoDVD is always SDef .....

  • I'm having trouble importing video from my panasonic hdc-tm900 into iPhoto.

    it used to work fine (at 1080p/60) and when i plug it in to the computer it shows the older videos i have already downloaded, but not the new videos. they are all 1080/60. I'm running a new macbook pro with mavericks. i believe this is the first batch i tried to download with mavericks... i can only load the videos in one bunch ono the desktop and open them with quicktime, but can't export or import to iPhoto. curious!

    What version of iPhoto do you have?
    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Try to import some videos from the camera and the Desktop to test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

  • How to import DV/AVI from camcorder

    Hi,
    Please bear with me as I am very new to all this. I have a miniDV camcorder (Panasonic). I have about 10-15 tapes which I would like to import and copy the content onto an external HDD (space is no issue). I think mini dv tapes store information in dv or avi - is that right? I would like to get the video without losing quality or converting into any format and save them onto the external HDD. This is just like a backup so that in 10 years I can do stuff with them if I want to.
    The problem is when I import the file into imovie it seems to convert it to a .mov project. I am not sure I want it to convert it from dv to .mov and then back to dv again. i am not going to be editing or playing around with the footage now - I just want to store it for now.
    What is the best way to store these videos for long term with converting/compressing them? And how do I do it in imovie? I am using iMovie HD 6.0.3.
    Please help
    Thanks

    Hi Shanno,
    The importing format is an issue. It is the exporting format that you can select. The best way to go about it is to import your DV (digital video) into iMovie and then export it via the file menu to your ext hard drive. When you select export/share you can change the quality settings to 'full quality' and the destination folder to your ext hard drive. Unfortunately, you can't import DV directly to your hard drive. Placing the actual iMovie project onto your ext hard drive may cause compatibility issues in the future, whereas, exporting a .dv movie to your ext HD will give an enclosed copy that you can import into future versions of iMovie.
    And, a mini DV camera cassette has a shelf life of around 5 years if stored in a cool, dark, dry place. It's also recommended to fast-forward and rewind the tapes once a year to make sure they don't freeze up.
    Hope this helps clarify things for you.

  • Can I use AVCHD videofiles (*.mts) from a Panasonic videocam with LR4?

    Hi,
    At the moment I use LR3.6 to manage and develop my pictures from a dslr. I've read a lot about video files and LR4. Can I use LR4 to manage the video files (AVCHD 1080p50) from my Panasonic videocam HDC-SD909?

  • Lightroom 4.4 cannot import files exported from CaptureOne Pro8, but LR5 can??

    I am a recent new user to PhaseOne's CaptureOne Pro8 software.  I am using it for some RAW conversions, but still want to use my LR4.4 product to catalog, and further edit, those conversions.
    I have tried exporting TIFF, DNG, and JPG from Pro8, but NONE of those files can be imported by LR4.4  I can selected the file, and then LR hangs on "Importing files...".  Oddly enough, I can move to other LR modules, like Develop, and the software still works, but the import never completes.
    I downloaded a trial LR5.6 via Creative Cloud, and that version of Lightroom imports the JPG files just fine.  I have not tried to see if TIFF or DNG can be imported.
    So my questions come down to :
    Are there any LR4.4 users here who also have CaptureOne Pro8?  Can you import Pro8-exported JPGs into LR4.4?
    Is there any insight as to how LR5.6 handles files differently than LR4.4 that could explain why LR4.4 cannot load these files?
    I have no other issues with any other software package that can read JPGs, only LR4.4.  Keep in mind LR5.6 works fine, as well.
    Hmmm?
    Thanks for any help, insight,
    Mike

    BKKDon - Thank you so much for the Photoshop Family route.  I kinda found myself going in circles on the Adobe support pages, and thought this user-to-user forum was my only option for LR4 support.  Appreciate the link.
    And, I believe you have helped me greatly narrow the problem down.  I was not familiar with JFIF, and now I am.  I was able to find some utilities to essentially strip all of the APP markers within the JFIF, and now I can import those files into LR4.  I suspect that CO7 did not utilize APP marker in the JFIFs, CO8 does, and LR4 stumbles when it sees APP markers.  That's speculation based on how I made the LR4 import work, and not by doing direct inspection of different JPGs or JFIFs.  Thanks for the tip on JFIF, that gave me a lead that panned out.
    Now if I could just figure out why DNG and TIFF seem to be similarly afflicted, LOL.

  • Importing Digital8 Video from Camcorder

    I am having problems importing digital8 video from a Sony camcorder. The import process starts out fine with each clip tagged with the correct date the video was shot. At some point, the import process results in a clip for each second or so of video, meaning that there is a thumbnail for each second or so. I notice that the affected clips have a errant year code - 65590. Any thoughts on what is causing the problem, and what I can do to fix the problem?

    hey there Beverly,
    i had a similar issue when i got my 1st MiniDV cam & i couldn't import because i hadn't installed the battery to set the clock & calendar. coming from analog cam, i didn't care about superimposing the time & date on my footage. so, then i actually read the user manual, found that little bit of info about the button battery.

  • Re: Can you import 1080 60P material in Elements 11, as an example from a Panasonic HDC-TM900 camcorder?

    It is not about a slow computer (míne is new and fast) or an apple computer (I use windows 8) but it's about video quality and editing usability. Down under are the specifications of my camera, you can see the panasonic has different options and the MOV 50p had better quality (because of the higher bitrate), it is easier to use then the highly compressed AVCHD with video editing and I can use it also on a MAC (if I would like to). That is because I use MOV (and professionals like it too). So I need a MOV 50P setting and nog the AVCHD setting (I already installed the AVCHD setting as described above). It is true the panasocic is new and it is not very common in the consumer market to use MOV (most camcorders use AVCHD indead) and most DSLR don't have the 50p resolution yet it is still rare these days.
    I hope there is anybody with a solution (I wish someone good give me a MOV 50p setting for PE11 and I'm happy!)
    these are the video specifications of the Panasonic GH3

    One of the beauties of Non Linear Editors is that at final output rendering, it goes to the source.  It is not rendered twice.
    The single most confusing subject I've run into trying to learn editing is how this works.  Here is what I think happens.
    First, you have to have a project setting that accepts your source files so that you can work in real time preview with smoothness.  The computer is doing "real time project rendering" for preview.  So, if Ann's suggestion works during the editing process, you're fine.  In other words, you may not NEED an exact match between your source footage and your project preset.  Let PrE pick the best it can when you slide the first clip to the timeline.
    Second, when it is time to make your final product(s), you set the "output render" or "transcode" setting in the Share+Publish area.  You might need something optimized for YouTube, an iPhone or Hollywood.  The editing software then looks at what you have been doing in real time, goes to all the markers and transitions you have set and makes an entirely new file, the "video", by reading from your 50Mbps source files. 
    Somewhere here there is a long post from an Adobe tech who tried to explain it to me.  He emphasized that there was some relationship between the project setting and the output files, but the most important part was the output settings.
    In the Share+Publish section there are a lot of presets.  For some you can change the frame rate and bit rate.  You should find something pretty close.
    Your GH3 is so new, I've read little about it.  A 50 Mbps rate is twice what we've had at the consumer level for the last few years.  Have fun with that camera!

  • Importing from a Panasonic HDC TM700

    I just got this Panasonic which is able to shoot video at 1080p 28Mbps. I know that this format is not AVCHD compliant, and currently not recognized by iMovie 09.
    Does anyone know of a work around? The first step is getting the files imported into the Mac, and then the next would be to see if one of the converters could convert it to AIC, which I was hoping would work as they are .mts files.

    This is what I know so far.
    1. Clips shot at 1080i 17Mbps can be imported straight from the camera to iMovie 09. These clips I understand are converted to AIC, and edited. If the movie is exported to iDVD via share to Media Browser, the resultant movie is .mov file, and an acceptable SD DVD can be made. I felt that the colors in the movie were changed a little (there was a yellowish cast) and there certainly was a degradation in sharpness. I did the export at Large setting, and have not tried HD yet, but plan to do that next.
    2. Clips shot at 1080p 28Mbps have to be copied from the camera memory manually. I then converted the .mts files to MPEG4 (.mp4) movies using Handbrake. I found that before these .mp4 clips could be used, it was necessary to deinterlace (with JES Deinterlacer), converting them to .mov files. It was not that you couldn't import the .mp4 files to iMovie, but that the DVD resulting from that process was full of artifact, and totally unacceptable. Importing the deinterlaced clips, editing and sharing to Media Browser at HD setting resulted in the best quality DVD I have made yet. Sharpness was acceptable, even though not the same as original, but again, there was a yellowish cast to the colors. If you had not viewed the original, you probably would have thought that it was a fine effort. I will add that all these movies look fine when viewed through the viewer on the Mac. I will probably also be looking at other alternatives, such as Streamclip, and maybe even the converters that are not free to see if improvements can be made.
    There are other ways that have been pointed out to import and edit movies for different forms of playback, such as off a media player or PS3. So far that has not been my goal, which has been to produce acceptable DVD's to distribute to family and friends. For those other forms of playback, I think that you can get output practically indistinguishable from original.

  • 1080p recordings from Panasonic HDC-HS700

    I just purchased a new camcorder that records in AVCHD and has a setting for 1080p/30 recording (as opposed to 1080i/60). FCP has no problems with the 1080i clips in Log and Transfer, but won't see the 1080p clips and the Panasonic documentation mentions that iMovie cannot recognize these files but makes no mention of FCP.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to acquire the 1080p material in that format? Perhaps by capturing off of the cameras HDMI output (which supports such playback) somehow?

    1080p60...yes. 1080p60...no.
