Mts format to imovie

help
i have 11 minutes on a thumb drive as mts file want it to go into imovie, what do i do?

The two most popular converters are ClipWrap and Voltaic HD.
There may be some free converters out there as well.
In the future, if you can import directly from the camera (or from the SDHC card), you will not need a converter.

  • MTS-files in imovie - Stereo Audio lost

    Happy new year everyone
    I have a Panasonic HDC-HS900 (equivalent to the TM900) which shoots AVCHD in a MTS format.
    Imovie '11 does not support the files directly so I convert them to M4V using Remux 1.1.7 (9)
    The new m4v have audio with two similar channels - But when imported to Imovie the right track is lost, resulting in video with a silent right speaker.
    Can someone help me?
    Thank you in advance.
    Im using IOS 10.7.5

    Kathy -- did you ever figure out the "easy" way to do this? I am having the exact same problem you are. ANd the weird thing is, I was just today at an Apple Store where they demonstrated in front of my eyes how to do this -- import a couple songs into iMovie, do whatever fading/cutting I wanted, then File>Share to Quicktime, and save as an AIFF. No messages about needing video or "protected audio". So now I'm at home trying it, and it doesn't work -- I get the same message you did. Any suggestions? I really want to know the real solution rather than a cumbersome workaround...

  • Converting mts to format for Imovie

    Still trying and trying to find an answer.  So I have tried http://www.iskysoft.com/topic-mts/convert-mtsm2ts-files-to-imovie-on-mac.html which says it will convert it to a version for imovie so I downloaded trial so that I could try it.  TOok an mts file Converted it to the version for imovie.  Tried to drag and drop it into imovie.  Nope wont do it.  Tried converting it to the MPEG format in this trial version nope wont drag and drop into imovie either. 
    Im willing to buy a converter but want to make sure it will work.  Have found nothing thus far that I can figure out how to convert an MTS file to a version that can be dragged and dropped into Imovie. 
    Sigh so frustrated by this. 
    I have mts video files on my desktop in a folder.  Which I had taken from camera.  They are no longer on my camera so I cant download directly into imovie.  Trying to figure out how to convert them to a format for imovie and have tried several trials another of those being wondershare. 
    Maybe I am just slow but have had no success so far. 
    I have spent literally hours so far tonight trying to solve this problem. 

    mts doesn't need a 'conversion' just a re-wrapping.
    two options
    • ReWrap2M4V - google for it, it's a free automator script; to make it run, you have to install two other items, basically to get a functioning installtion of the ffmpeg package - sounds tricky, just follow installtion advices, easy. re-wraps any mts within split-seconds
    • AVCCAM - is a QT-plugin provided by Panasonic; it teaches any QT-based app to handle mts; after DL in installation, use most popular tool Mpeg Streamclip to open your mts; then, without any settings nor conversions, goto 'save as' and choose mov.

  • Trying to convert video in .MTS format to wok on Imovie, frustrated, no format seems to work. What should be best to convert into?

    Trying to convert video in .MTS format to wok on Imovie. Doiwnloaded TotalVideo Converter Light. Tried converting it to Avi., .DV, .mp4, imovie, and then dragging to IMovieHd, but it doesn't accept it. nothing is working.
    Frustrated, no format seems to work.

    iMovieHD means - in Apples officiall nomenclatura - vers 5. A very, very obsolete version...
    is this really your version you're using?
    (click in iMovie under File/about)

  • Using MTS files with iMovie

    I'm having a real nightmare working with .mts video files.  I'm not sure if this is the best forum to discuss, but I'm willing to try anything at this point.
    I have a Canon Vixia HFR20 camera that saves in .mts format, and I'm trying to find a good way to edit/convert those videos with iMove '11 to be posted on a website and burned to DVD.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how best to go about this?  I have found a few free converter programs like WinX, but the results always look kind of crappy - lots of jagged edges and what not.  My other main problem is that the .mts files appear to split after they reach a size of 2.05 GB so even though I'm only shooting one continuous video, I end up with 2 or more files.  If there's a way to import the seperate files as one continuous video that would be fantastic.
    I've recently tried using the "import from camera" feature in iMovie instead of copying the files from the SD card to my computer, but I could not get iMovie to see a camera other than the built in iSight.  Is there a possibility this "import from camera" might be the best solution and I just haven't got it yet?
    I feel like I'm forgetting some important information because I'm kind of flustered so don't hesitate to ask.  I'd appreciate any guidance.

    The format iMovie uses when you edit video after it's imported is Apple Intermediate Codec, it will have the file ending .mov but internally it's set so the Mac can edit individual frames easier and play them back easier at full speed. If you have the option of saving to QuickTime .mov see if there is a pulldown list of all the different "codecs", that's the style or flavor of compression applied to the video frames. If Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) appears on that pull-down list choose that as your codec when you save to .mov.

  • Mts format file to an iPhoto friendly format

    I recently  made a movie project and my movies are .mts format. I need to put them in iPhoto in order to edit them but .mts is not a recognizable format on my mac (Mac OS). Could somone plese help me convert these files to an iphoto frindly format.

    I have the same issue and have been researching the answer. Here's what I've discovered. imovie doesn't recognized .mts files. I've read that final cut pro does. It's expensive though. I've also read that if you import directly from the camera you can import into imovie. I guess there are other files when you record that are imported with the .mts files and enables imovie to do it's thing. I used a pc to save my videos onto an external hard drive and only have the .mts files. You can use a 3rd party app to convert the file. Look at Old Toads post above.
    This is a link with some info on .mts files. Put .mts in the search field.

  • May i read natively MTS format from my SDcard Camera into MacBookPro ???

    Before buying a MAC, some questions
    May i read natively MTS format (full HD) from my SDcard Camera into MacBookPro ???
    Embeded intel 3000 graphic card is it enough to edit video in fullHD (1920X1080) or do i need absolutely a 15 inches with 2 graphic cards embeded ? (for imovies)

  • Mts support in iMovie

    Still no RAW MTS support in iMovie even after iPhoto added raw support

    Yep.
    iMovie must first convert the .mts files to an editable format.

  • How can i change the Creation Date of a video (mts-Format)?

    I work with Phohoshop Elements 13 an i use Online-Album (Revel)
    My Problem:
    I would like to change the Creation Date of a Video-File (mts-Format). I don't no why but the date (in Metadata) is wrong and i would like it to change. If i change it in Photoshop Elements the Date (Edit... Change Date...) it seems that the date has changed, but in reality in the Metadata is still the wrong date (see attachment).
    Why this ist important for me:
    The Adobe Revel (Online-Album) takes always the date from the metadata which is wrong.
    Any idea how i can resolve my Problem?
    How i can change the Metadata?

    Hi,
    Did you get help ? Or do you have a work around ? I have about 20.000 Pictures and countless videos to organize myself.
    I just ran into the same problem. Except that after a while Adobe will undo the changes I have made to the date.
    Here's a  screen shot I just made of one of the files.
    Look at this one ! This one is really interesting:
    After changing the date to : 1889 . Adobe changed it to 01.01.1970 00:59

  • I've been giving HD videos in MTS format and convert the for editing in FCE.  Looks good in the program, but when I export the finished film, quality had been noticeable diminished.  Is there any way to prevent FCE from lowering the output quality?

    Hello -
    I've been sent HD footage in MTS format and converted it to Mp4 for editing in FCE.  It looks good in FCE but when I export the movie, the quality is noticably diminished.   Is there any way I can prevent FCE from lowering the quality on export?
    Thanks.

    >I use Foxreal video converter for Mac to convert the MTS using the Apple intermediate codec setting and the problem is that I don't get image, just audio
    My thought would be to NOT use Foxreal video converter.
    Use MPEG Streamclip or Clipwrap.

  • Video: MOV/H.264 format for iMovie

    For years I have used a Sony HandyCam with digital tape, inside of a Sony underwater housing to do underwater video.  Great quality and editing it in iMovie is a piece of cake.  I have had no compatability issues.  Trouble is hauling the housing, the tapes, etc.  I am thinking about buying an Olympus TG-2 IHS which records in MOV/H.264 format.  One camera to do it all.
    I am concerned about editing in iMovie since this format is a compressed format versus the digital tape.  Does anyone have any experience to share with this format in iMovie?

    That will require conversion to a format that iMovie can use, which will give slight quality loss.

  • Best clip format for iMovie 8?

    I have a few .avi clips from a Nikon CoolPix which load alright into iMovie, but they take a long time to load. Is there a better format for iMovie and should I convert the clips to that format?
    Thank you,
    ray

    iM is meant by concept for camcorder imports.
    its internal codec is appeleintermediate.
    I doubt, a 'manual' conversion is faster than iM's.
    but give it a try, a popular (and free) tool is Mpeg Streamclip

  • Why can't I import h264/x264 format in iMovie?

    Is there any reason that I can not do this? I understand what files are compatible with iMovie and all, but I just want to know why it is that there is no support for these formats in iMovie?

  • Sony HD camcorder .mts format

    Hello All,
    I just bought a Sony Handycam HDR-XR200V. Because the software with it is not Mac compatible, I just mount the drive and transfer the media and import into Final Cut. Unfortunately, FCP does not recognize the .mts format of the clips. After Effects does, so i guess I could render from AE and then bring into FCP, but obviously I'd prefer an easier method. Any ideas?
    I am running FCP 5.1.4.
    Many thanks
    Shelley

    You'll need at least FCP 6.0.5 and an Intel Mac to transfer in FCP.
    Otherwise, try:
    Toast 9 or 10
    VideoPierHD
    VoltaicHD
    to convert.
