.MTS File export

Anyway to export a .MTS file into a rec. format for Final Cut Pro without losing any quality. I continue to try doing it in Toast and it really kills the quality even in the best settings?

Why don't you use Log and Transfer function to Convert it to near lossless ProRez format in Final Cut?
Or just use Clipwrap or Rewrap2M4V to convert it to mp4(m4v).
Actually I like Re-wrap thing with these, because even if I can not edit on Final Cut, I can play with Quicktime Player.
It is easy to organize clips.
I often have NO TIME to convert all clips to ProRez, don't I?
But It's very lossy format and terribly heavy.
You can "Cut" edit with mpeg editor something like MPEGStreamclip or SimpleMovieX with partial quality loss.

Can CS5 export *.MTS files?

I use a Panasonic TM700, which records videos in the MTS format. I've had no trouble importing these into Premiere Pro, and the format works really well for me. But I'd like to take my projects, and _export_ them to MTS fils which I can then load onto my video camera's memory.
Here's why. I can attach my computer to my HDTV, but I can only use it as a monitor. I can't play full hi-def 1920x1080 video and have it look terribly good that way. But, I can connect my camera to the TV. So if I can get the video on the camera...
Is there a set of export settings that will create an MTS file that I can load onto my camera?

Hi Brian, have you found another method, or different software, to export mts files? I need to do the same for a similar reason.
Thanks,
Chris

What export settings do I use to creat a .mov from a .MTS file?

Hello!
I have a .MTS file that needs to be exported to a .mov file for online submission guidelines. The picture quality is bad when there is movement. I inserted screen shots of the codecs for the native .MTS files and the export settings I used for a .mov files. I played around with the settings a lot. Thank you so much to anyone who helps, I really appreciate it :¬)

I will drink to that...

Cannot re export avcd / MTS files

Hi when i export avcd / mts files cannot re edit them they flicker so much. i think it maybe something to do with 25.00fps beucase cs6 only exports that frame rate when the source is 50.00fps, i may be wrong. i use sony fs100 and a77. please help some times i trim a long shoot then edit the best bits on my laptop but when i use exported files it flickers toom much.
i have i7
premiere cs6 / production premium
12gb ram
gtx 295

Don't use those exports for further editing, use only the originals.

Computer shuts down after exporting H.264 from mts file

My computer shuts down after trying to export a H.264 file from a .mts file. I did this with no problems a few days ago, twice! This time line is longer, about 6.5 minutes. I have a I 5 processor, a gtx 660 graphics card and 8 megs of ram. I exported audio as a wave file and added those to the timeline. In the events panel, I get a message: "file importer detected an inconsistency in the file structure of audience_end_short.wav. Reading and writing this files metadata (xmp) has been disabled". it said the same for another short bit of audio, .wav file. I thought maybe there was a over heating issue, but to no avail. Do I need to get an I 7 processor? Please help!

sorry about the spelling! Still going. About the driver issue. I was updating Geo Force drivers and my friend said to revert to the original install, which I did a while ago. That helped, but obviously didn't cure it. Wonder if I should do the same for windows updates. So although I'm still rendering after 2 hours, perhaps the new user acount will get me through this. So strange that I was able to render/export the exact files the other day. Like I said, this mts clip is longer by a minute. Plus, I got rid of the wav files that had a meta data issue. Thanks for helping me everyone. I'll keep you posted. But I do believe an I 7 processor will at least help in the speed department right?

How can I convert an .mts file to mp3?

I would like to export just an audio clip (2 minutes) to an mp3 file. I have deleted the video in the timeline but it still leaves a 91Mb file - far too big of course to usefully use. I have found the Zamzar site who will convert but of course the file is still too unwieldy. Is there a way please?
I am using Prem El 9.
Most grateful.

Hi MissMoppett,
Thanks for posting Adobe forums.
You can also try to use a 3rd party software Format factory to convert .mts file .mp3.

AVCHD: how to deal with the .MTS files in FCP 5 or iMovie 08

I just bought a Canon HF10 AVCHD camcorder and stumbles into the difficult editing process with FCP 5. Here are my steps:
- Conversion of the camcorder .MTS files with iMovie 8; they are then transformed into a .MOV sequence. A 14secondes sequence recorded in the highest quality (FXP, 17Mbps) is captured as a 28MB .MTS file by the camcorder, rendered as a 231MB .MOV file by iMovie 8, and it took 53 sec to process it !
- I export the sequence as: Share >Export Final Cut XML…
- In FCP 5: import XML…then I tried different modes: AIC 1080i60 (image is overstreched), AIC 720p30 (proportion is OK, but I captured in 1080…), AIC DV NTSC 48kHz (not HD…) BUT none of the resulting sequence is rendered, I still have the red bar above the timeline.
For financial reason, I’d like to avoid to go to FCP 6, which seems to work natively with the AVCHD format.
My questions are:
- is there a way to reduce the size of the iMovie converted files: 900MB per minute ?
- is there a way not to have to render the imported files in FCP ?
Can anyone help me ?

I have the same camera and the reality is you're going to go through that translation from AVCHD to some sort of Quicktime file format no matter which tool you use. I do it with FCP6 and it needs to do the same translation from the .mts files to (they recommend) ProRes files. AVCHD is a highly compressed format and when you move it to an editable form, the file(s) is going to get much larger. It is HiDef content after all which can be quite large.
In my case, once I do the transfer to ProRes format nothing needs to be rendered in the FCP timeline unless I add some sort of filter or effect to it.
The rendering problem you are describing is often caused by the Sequence setting not matching the content settings. This is automated in FCP6 where it detects the content format of the video you're trying to add and changes the sequence settings to match the content. Take a look at the sequence settings and see if they match the structure of the content and that should resolve the 'everything needs to be rendered' situation.

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.

Rewrapped AVCHD MTS files not playing correctly

I'm using a Panasonic HDC-TM700 camera to record 1920x1080 60p. The camera records to the AVCHD format which yields a .MTS file. Final Cut Pro X still does not support importing from this camera. I've tried the various tricks mentioned in these forums such as creating a camera archive, importing directly from the SD card, using Panasonic's AVC CAM restore tool, etc. Nothing has been sucessful, so it looks like it's back to re-wrapping the .MTS file to a .m4v file. To do this, I'm using the Rewrap2M4V apple script combined with ClibGrab as described in other discussions. My newly wrapped m4v clips play just fine in Quicktime Player. The movie inspector reports a FPS of 59.94 and a resolution of 1920x1080.
When I import these clips into Final Cut, however, I see two green or black empty frames about every 28-30 frames. This occurs when I'm previewing the clip from the event library and when the clip in in the timeline. The timeline is set to 1920x1080 59.94p, though I've tried 60p and saw the same behavior.
When I export the clip to a h.264 .mov file, I don't see the green or black blank frames, but the picture is garbled in those places.
For what it's worth, I've installed the updated QT codecs. Any ideas?

I don't know what conversion engine clipgrab uses, but i have had success with the old Final Cut Express using ffmpeg based software to re-wrap the .MTS files from my panasonic GH2. I use Media Converter (an ffmpeg front-end) and if you go to their presets page you'll find presets i made to do it. Give that a shot maybe. Another thing you can try to do if that still does not work is a 'standards conversion' of the re-wrapped video to ProRes in JES Deinterlacer.
good luck!

How do I save individual edited MTS files in CS6

how do I save individual edited MTS files in CS6

Set the work area on the timeline to the limits of the clip that you want to export. Then File>Export>Media.
You need to consider what the exported file is intended for, so you can determine a suitable format and preset for the export.

Cannot ingest .MTS files from Canon Vixia HF S200

I have an iMac, OS 10.6.8, Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I'm using FCE 4.0.1 and MPEG Streamclip 1.9.2. My camera's parameters are: video compression MPEG-4 AVC/H.264; 1080/60i frame rate; FXP (17Mbps) mode.
With the camera powered and plugged in (USB), when I select File>OpenFiles in Streamclip and select all ".MTS" files in the AVCHD>BDVM>STREAM folder I get the following message: "Unrecognized file type". If I choose download anyway and choose File>Export to QT, I get the following error message: "Can't read the frame size".
If I remove the SD card from the camera and download onto my 2TB HD and move one ".MTS" file into Stream clip, I get the following message: ""WARNING "00304.MTS" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media".
I also tried moving the entire BDVM folder (which includes a BACKUP folder [empty]; a CLIPINF folder; INDEX.BDM; MOVIEOBJ.BDM; PLAYLIST>00000.MPL; AND STREAM into Streamclip with the same results.
Simply put, I can't get Streaclip to recognize the camer's output. I can't figure out what's wrong. It would seem that what I'm trying to do should work, i.e., convert the camera output to AIC for input to FCE.
George

MtD,
It's my understanding that FCE 4.0.1 can only ingest DV or AIC using Log and Transfer. I thought that one had to use something like Streamclip when h.264 is involved by converting to AIC.
Also, among my many attempts, I'm pretty sure I tried Log and Transfer and received a similar message.
By reading other posts, I'm wondering if I'm trying this at the wrong layer, i.e., at first I accessed just the ".MTS" files, then I tried the STREAM folder. I wonder if I have to bring over the the whole BDVM folder, or possibly the whole AVCHD folder.
This is my first attempt to work with this camera. That's why I'm a bit screwed up. Previously, I used a Canon HV10 and downloaded into iMovie HD. Then, later versions of iMovie started giving me poor results so I bought FCE. At about the same time I broke my camera and bought the HF S200.

Problem editing .mts files

When I try to edit my .mts video files in Premiere Elements 12, I feel like the hd quality of the videos is lost. Sound is great and the image doesn't lag, but it still looks quite fuzzy. Will I recover the quality when I finish my movie?

janlubs
A lot more details needed to be included for us to help you.
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
Then the other usual questions, to get them out of the way,
a. do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 12?
b. are you running the program as Run As Administrator or from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
c. do you have the latest video card driver version according to the manufacturer of that video card.
Then we get to the project itself and its setup, importing of media, and export.
a. What are the properties of your source media...video and audio compressions, frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive frame rate, duration, etc to go along with your .mts file extension?
b. What are you or the program setting for the project preset so that the project preset matches the properties of the source media?
c. What is your export choice and how are you viewing the export?
a. Share/......., preset, and export settings under the Advanced Button/Video Tab?
Is your computer optimized? Do you multitask while editing and exporting a Premiere Elements project? What does the rendered Timeline look like in the Edit Mode monitor before you export your video?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thanks. Looking forward to your follow up.

Need help with managing .mts files from Canon XA-10

I capture a lot of lectures and other long events. As such, I need to import my files and then put them into the Premiere Pro CC timeline in order but when I do, it looks like they're skipping a frame when arranged chronologically. Usually I find the footage on the camera through the Media Browser and then bring that one big file into the timeline and export it that way. This process takes FOREVER. I'd prefer to be able to copy the individual 2GB .mts files and add them to my timeline. Any ideas or solutions out there?

Ok, so, perhaps explaining my workflow in detail would help better address my problem:
1. record lecture, let's say 1 hour
That will make around 5 2GB .mts files on the Canon XA-10 Built-in Memory(64GB)
2. connect camera via USB 3.0 port to computer and create a new PP project for this lecture
3. through the Media Browser tab, I locate the file on the camera and drop it into the timeline of the new project
4. wait for the file to conform(depending on the length of the file, could take many minutes, sometimes an hour)
5. after conforming, I export the file in it's entirety to it's appropriate project folder on the computer(this will take at least as long as the file length, most times longer). On the export screen, I check the box to import file into project upon completion.
As you can see, importing my tapeless assets from the camera can take up to an hour and a half, sometimes longer, before I am able to start editing them. Obviously, when I simply copy the 2GB .mts files from the camera to a project folder through Finder or Windows Explorer, it takes a considerably less amount of time. The problem I then encounter is that when I then try to place them into the PP project timeline as individual files, they appear to skip frames at their edit points, or about every 11.5 minutes. I just tired JSS1138's idea and I get the same problem as before.

Should I delete all my .MTS files? Help with workflow desperately needed

I use a Sony NEX 6 to film a lot of personal projects. My workflow has so far been
Film Import to lightroom Export as H.264 to hardrive Import to iMovie
But now I am going to start using final cut pro x. Apparently Final Cut X is unable to import .MTS files so again, workflow at the moment is
Film Import to lightroom Export as H.264 Import to Final Cut Pro X and convert to ProRes
My hardrive has quickly filled up and I've realised that I stupidly have my footage saved in 3 different locations. Lightrooms catalogue (.MTS), the file on my hardrive that I export the footage from lightroom to (export as H.264 but file type says it's mp4?) and Final Cut Pro's catalogue (ProRes).
I want a system where my footage is saved in one place on my laptops hardrive, then I will back my computer up with an external hardrive.
How does this workflow sound?
Film Import to lightroom Export as H.264 Import to Final Cut Pro X Delete footage from lightroom Delete exported file on computer Backup laptop on external hardrive
Can anyone suggest a better workflow?
Will I come across any problems in the future by deleting everything except the ProRes files?
Is lightroom a good enough program to be exporting my footage from or should I use a dedicated converter?

Thank you for your help, yes I will be backing up elsewhere. I'm a massive noob at all this and after an afternoon of searching I think I've got my head around it. Best option for future footage
Import AVCHD directly from camera into Final Cut Pro. Convert it to ProRes if I have the space or if I'm not happy with the speed of working with native footage.
For all the footage that I have in lightroom but no longer have on a memory card my plan is to
Rewrap the files (I'm using a trial of clipwrap which changes the .MTS to .MOV).
Import the .Mov files into FCP, transfer file into FCP catalogue
Delete the movies from lightroom and the lightroom catalogue

Ability to Recover Dropped Frames in Spanned MTS Files?

Hi everyone,
I know there's a previous thread about an issue similar to this, but it's been a long time since someone commented so I'm trying to get a quicker more specific answer here. I'll keep this short:
Using a Sony NXCAM, and I was not aware of needing to use the Content Mangement Utility to export footage onto my editing machine. I realize this is how you get the spanned MTS files back into a single file. I now have over 200 GB of footage shot over a week long period. I just copied over the MTS files ONLY to my editing machine each day, then reformatted the cards to make space for the next day's footage.
Now, when placed in the timeline, all the clips have the dropped audio frames where they were split.
My question is, is there a way to recover/recombine these files AFTER they've been taken off the memory card, and I no longer have anything but the MTS files only - not the PRIVATE folder, or any of the accompanying stuff.
Am I SOL here? Or is there a way to recombine the spanned files at this point?
Using Premiere Pro CS5.5, but also have access to CS6 if needed.

I was not aware of needing to use the Content Mangement Utility to export footage onto my editing machine.
You don't. In fact, I always recommend no special software is used. Just Windows Explorer or Finder. BUT...you do copy over the ENTIRE CARD. Once on the hard drive, you do not delete, rename or otherwise alter the contents of any of those folders.
The dropped frames you're seeing are common when you do not copy over the entire card. I am not aware of a fix.
