No support for AVCHD video

Currently Lightroom 4 does not seem to support .m2ts format video, will that change going forward?
I'd like to be able to get the most out of my Sony A77, or at least be able to down sample it for use.
Thanks!

For those of you have trouble on Win 7 64. Please run this test:
Launch your Windows Task Manager and go to the Processes tab. Is Adobe QT32 Server.exe running?
If not, go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4\Support\DynamicLinkMediaServer\dynamiclinkmediaserver\1.0 and execute it from Explorer.
Verify it is running in the Processes tab of Windows Task Manager
If it is, attempt an import of a video.
Please report back what you find.
thanks.

Does Adobe Premiere CS5 for Mac support .m2ts (AVCHD) video?

I am trying to import video files encoded into the .m2ts (AVCHD) format into Adobe Premiere CS5 on my Mac. Does the Mac version of Premiere CS5 support .m2ts (AVCHD) video formats? I am currently testing this with the trial before I get this new version for the Mac. Could using trial be the problem that even CS5 Premiere doesn't open it on my Mac? Do I need the full version? Thanks.

The trial does not support AVCHD for either platform.
Now, the full-paid version has no limitation, AND Adobe offers a 30-day, money-back guarantee, so if you do not like it, you can return it for a full refund, within 30 days.
Good luck,

The video tag only supports a few formats and MKV (Matroska Multimedia Container) isn't one of them.<br />
Your only option is to use the object (or embed) tag and use a player that can handle that format.<br />
If might be better to switch to the WebM format.<br />

Window 7 has native support for AVCHD after the update today

"21. Improved playback support for video content from digital camcorders and cameras
Customers loved the increased range of formats natively supported by the Windows 7 Beta, but noticed areas where they wanted broader support. For example, one was unable to seek to a specific spot in the video in Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center for AVCHD content that was imported from a digital camcorder. Weve addressed this. Also, while the support for video from some digital cameras worked great, we also got feedback about supporting a broader set of devices out of the box. Weve since added support for Windows Media Player to natively support the .MOV files used to capture video for many common digital cameras. "
http://blogs.msdn.com/e7/archive/2009/02/26/some-changes-since-beta.aspx

Windows media player 11 can play AVCHD very well on windows vista already. And the .MOV native support actually worries me. If that happens, would apple still be making quicktime for windows? will quicktime pro still be on windows? because as far as i know there was no more windows media player on the mac as soon as flip4mac(well, it was made by microsoft..) came out.

Support for RAW Video and Image Sequences

Being a stills photographer who moved into video some years back, I'm very interested in the direction Lightroom is going with regards to video support. I haven't tried it yet but I wondered if LR4 supports Red R3D files? And would it perhaps support other future RAW video formats from the likes of Canon and Sony? It would seem like the perfect application, perhaps intergrating with Premiere in a similar way to RedCine with FCP. Be great to be able to log footage, orginize it into bins and do basic colour correction in LR, edit the project in Premiere and re-touch in After Effects.
Another task LR would seem ideally suited to is combining image sequences into timelapse video. Shooting timelapse as an image sequence on a DSLR is pretty much standard practice these days; and I've used LR to colour correct, crop and scale my sequences (before fitting them together in Quicktime) for years now. It would be fantastic to be able to preview the clip and export the video (as DPX, ProRes or DNxHD) from within Lightroom.
These are obviously fairly long term wishes. In the short term though, the video features are pretty much useless to me without support for exporting ProRes and DNxHD files. With this LR becomes a powerful asset manager that could be used to collect together footage from multiple sources/codecs and transcode it all for editing. As mentioned in a previous thred, XML support would make it even more useful in this context. There is definitly a gap in the market for an application than can handle this kind of task well.
With other manufactures floundering or neglecting their professional user base, Adobe would seem poised to take the video post crown. I wonder if Lightroom could be part of the takeover?

As I understand it Andy, its intention is to remain a photographers program, not a videographers program. The basic video features are available for lightweight management of videos coming from digital cameras, but it's not going too much further than that at this point in time. Of course that may change in the future, but we'll all have to wait and see on that one.

10.10.3 breaks support for ATI video cards

The 10.10.3 update has broken support for a bunch of ATI video cards that worked just fine under 10.10.2. This is for my Mac Pro 5,1. Some folks also reported issues with breaking support for Nvidia cards, but have mentioned that the latest Nvidia beta drivers might work.
There is a thread that may be found here that has some details:
OS X 10.10.3 Update
and here (reverting back to 10.10.2 fixes things):
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1864352
Specifically, my Visiontek Eyefinity 6 7750 stopped working, and another users Radeon 7770 stopped working. Yet, the 7970 continues to work. Reverting to the old ATI 5770 that came with the machine renders it usable. This is a problem as the 7750 only took a single slot, and the two 5770s eat up 3 slots so I can't use my USB 3 card, etc.
I remember this once happened before. I think it was with the 10.9.2 update which borked a bunch of video cards that worked fine under 10.9.1, and then were again made to work just fine with the 10.9.3 update.
All the 'standard' fixes have been attempted. Clean installs. Fix permissions. Etc.
Not sure why apple would seemingly disable support for these cards, other than by accident, I assume, much like happened with the 10.9.2 update.
Also not sure if just copying the correct driver from 10.10.2 might solve the problem until Apple get's around to fixing the issue. Has anyone tried? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, i am using dual Cinema Display 30 and 23 with a HIS ATI 7750 1 GB on a Mac Pro 3.1. Post upgrade from 10.10.2 to 10.10.3 my display eded unusable blurry. Therefore I have tried to replace the 10.10.3 kext with the previous 10.10.2. But it did not work out as expected. I managed to get some video output but no acceleration at all. Therefore the system is unusable. Therefore i full downgraded to 10.10.2 now.
Never the less it might be a good starting point for someone to get acceleration running. This is what I did:
I have to set the nvram variable kext-dev-mode=1, but be warned this will allow any unsigned > .kext to load, including rootlets, malware, etc.
I did this in order to allow me to modify the kext if necessary and to ensure that if 10.10.2 kext might be locked that they still be loaded and the computer will not be prevented from boot.
sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1"
sudo shutdown -r now
Post this i copied from my other Mac running 10.10.2 the file /System/Library/Extensions/AMDRadeonX4000.kext to my Mac Pro 3.1 running 10.10.3 with no proper video output. Basically i copied all ATI related kext from one mac to the other.
copied [MAC10.10.2]/System/Library/Extensions/ATI* ----> [MAC10.10.3]/System/Library/Extensions/ATI*
copied [MAC10.10.2]/System/Library/Extensions/AMD* ----> [MAC10.10.3]/System/Library/Extensions/AMD*
someone needs to do a diff here to identify the file with is necessary the only one i found with a significant change seems to be AMDRadeonX4000.kext
I forced to rebuild kext cache manually
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions
sudo kextcache -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions
And reboot!
sudo shutdown -r now
After the reboot I had display output but no acceleration at all. Seeing the video out put made me happy but the system is unusable to to the lack of acceleration of the display. I am really looking forward for Apple to fix the update and to reapply support for the ATI GPUs hence it allows to save environmental resources to keep good products like the Mac Pro 3.1 running...

No support for avi video files in symbian belle

well, the os is super impressive and the video player too.. But there is a problem while playing avi files. There is no preinstalled support for this type of file. While mp4 works fine without any problems. (i'm talking about nokia 600,603,700,701,n8,,etc)

Yeah, there are some issues for some codecs. But you should be fine for aac/xvid files. I can run them without any problem. Also i can run .mkv files.

No QuickTime support for playing video?

I have an iPhone 3G and a iPhone 3GS, I might just have never noticed it before but I recently tried to play a .mov file on my server via an HTML file (that plays on my PC and Mac) through iPhone's Safari with no sucess. I find it rather interesting given the 3GS capability to record Video and the iPhone being able to play video from Itunes and Youtube that it doesn't seem to support Apple's native Quicktime format to play .mov files from the internet.
Am I doing something wrong or missing something? I have 3.0 OS on both phones.

The iPhone includes QuickTime support - you can watch videos via Apple's website and other websites with video provided via QT, but the video must be in the proper format for the iPhone. YouTube converted all YouTube video for the iPhone's YouTube app in QuickTime format or in a video format that is supported with the iPhone via QT.

Native FCP support for AVCHD

Hi,
Does anyone know if Apple has indicated that it plans to eventually support the AVCHD codec natively? If so, could someone point me to where that information might be posted?
Thanks,

There was a FCP Supermeet at IBC in Amsterdam last September.
Apple representatives were at the meet, and indicated somewhat vaguely that native editing would be supported.
Whether that will be done or not remains to be seen, as well as when and if the revised version of FCS will be released.
There is a video of the presentations at LAFCPUG.org that you can view.
http://www.lafcpug.org/ibc08_podcast.html
Actually, I prefer working in pro res HQ due to its 10-bit and better color space capabilities.
HDD space is cheap.
But it's your call, and remember that if it is supported, expect to get the fast CPU you can. It just won't work on anything but.

Skype Update Broke Support For USB Video Capture D...

We use video to USB adapters to integrate Skype into our classroom set ups and the most recent upgrade seems to have broken support for these types of devices. The only solution we've come up with so far is to downgrade to 6.1.0.129 and turn off auto updates (which is a band-aid at best). Any idea why Skype chose to do this and what might be the best way around the issue? The issue is with everything from cheap StarTech USB dongles all the way up to Black Magic Design's Intensity Shuttle. Our class capture cameras do not support USB unfortunately.

I believe at least starting with 6.2 the video support was being reworked in one way or another, possibly from the ground up. It appears a lot of compatibility especially with virtual video devices/overlays was lost. I don't believe that was intentional. The only thing you can do is continue to use 6.1 until a future release restores compatibility.

Support for 3g2 video format?

I'm using Premiere Pro CS3, and I don't see how to export to 3g2 format for my Samsung phone. Does PP CS3 support 3g2? If so, how do I get to that format? If not, is there some other way to output to 1 format and convert to 3g2? Thanks in advance to all replies!
I'm a newbie to PP, so please be gentle! ha!

Minimum Hardware Requirement for AVCHD-Video & Final Cut Express 4

Hey there,
I am currently searching for a computer to cut my private HDTV-Video (AVCHD format) and tend from rather buying a 4-core water-cooled Windows-PC to switch to a mobile apple solution.
Who knows which models of the current MacBook Pro - line are fast enough to handle AVCHD-Videomaterial in real-time? Is a 13inch 2,4GHZ Core 2 Duo fast enough, or the 2,66GHz version required, or even the 15inch with the better graphic card an issue?
Thanks,
Tom

You can edit AVCHD without to much of a problem on any Mac model. Most operations can be done realtime, though some it will be impossible to pull of in realtime. If you are using Final Cut, the operations that can be performed real-time are clearly indicated. Those that aren't realtime are typically things that go beyond basic composition.
For non-realtime manipulations, the speed is directly proportional to the CPU and bus speeds of the Mac.
When you export your finally rendered edits, however, that process can take time, depending on the nature of the transcoding and rendering involved. There's not much you can do about that. Even a dozen CPUs won't typically speed that up. However, there's hope that future versions of iMovie and Final Cut will support GPU-accelerated codecs that will improve that situation a lot.
That said, what's really important for video editing is: gobs of fast storage, and a really big display. Imagine that you are editing 1080i content. At full resolution, that's 1080x1920 pixels. If you're video editor is a typical NLE, you've got to accommodate the timeline window, the viewer, the canvas, and the clip library on screen all at once. In a pinch, you might be able to work with a tiny screen on the go (with the windows overlapping one another, or tabbing between them), but you're going to want to do most of your work using something with a LOT of pixels. AND, if you are doing it professionally, you're going to want to make sure that the displays are properly color-calibrated.

Aperture support for AVCHD?

I imagine aperture supports video as well as photo files. But for some reason I cannot get Aperture to recognise my video files from my Sony 5n shot in AVCHD. Is there a particular way to import these files?
Thanks

AVCHD is a very compressed HD quality video format. It's designed for creating material to be edited and then the edited version to be exported to a more usable format.
In Video it's common to think in terms of Production and Delivery formats. Production Formats are massive because video creates huge amounts of data. (For instance, an hour of miniDV - a compressed standard def format - will use about 13 gigs of disk space.) But Production formats are editable at high quality. So the practise is to shoot in production format, then edit, then export the edit to a compressed format like mov, mp4, avi etc. These Delivery formats are excellent quality for viewing, have (relatively) small file sizes but are not good for editing as they are lossy and heavily compressed..
So, if you're not shooting to edit use the other video format on your camera - mov, avi - and if you are shooting to edit, bring the material into your editor - FCP, iMovie - and add the finished product to Aperture.
It's broadly analagous to shooting in Raw, processing and then outputting to Jpeg...

PRE9 and support for 1080P video

Does PRE9 recognize 1080P for import and export to YouTube and disc burn? Thanks, L.

We're seeing a lot of reports of problems with that camcorder lately.
The problem is that, for some reason, Panasonic has designed it to record as 50p or 60p rather than the standard 50i or 60i. This makes it incompatible or difficult to work with most consumer video editing systems!
About the only software that's guaranteed to work with it is the software that comes with the camcorder. Although a post on the community forum at Premiere Elements support site Muvipix.com seems to indicate that JohnF has found a hybrid solution.
