TA48312 Hoe laad je AVCHD in FCP

Hoe breng je video 1920 x1080  SD card binnen bij Final Cut Pro of AVCHD ?

en waar vind ik een ondersteuning voor dit probleem want het is zo wij hebben indertijd Final cut pro gekocht aan de prijs van 999 euro zeer duur dus en nu komen jullie op de markt met een Final cut pro X aan een vierde van de prijs en daar wordt vollop ondersteuning voor gegeven .Waarom blijven de mensen met Final cut pro in de kou staan ???????????

  • My report on AVCHD and FCP

    After mucking around with AVCHD files on FCP and mixing them with HDV footage I have finally got a good working outcome which may be of interest to others wanting to do likewise.
    From the same .mts file from a Panasonic SD5 camcorder I made 3 versions via Clipwrap:
    1/ Pro Res HQ
    2/ Pro Res
    3/ AIC
    I then placed each clip in succession on the timeline and carefully observed the result. I couldn't discern an obvious difference in spite of the fact that pro res hq was using a huge amount of memory. I therefore suggest simply using the AIC codec. Another point is that when I have attempted to import my AVCHD into FCE, and Pinnacle, WITHOUT using clipwrap, the 5:1 sound wasn't mixed down to stereo properly. Clipwrap seems to solve this problem.
    So finally I can use AVCHD in FCP, mix it with HDV footage all, with a minimum of fuss and perfect stereo sound.
    I hope this info is of use to others wanting to use AVCHD with FCP.
    NOTE: I havn't checked with fast moving footage.The footage was of a person moving around in a well lit room.

    Your eyes can see digital code when you're looking at a video? Wow, I'd love to have that ability.
    Sarcasm aside, you can't use your eyes to judge the quality of your video, and you can't trust the display of your computer monitor. A well done mpeg2 can look amazing, and most people can't tell, or don't know how to tell, the difference between the DVD movie they bought, and the original it was compressed from. That's why home theater has become so popular.
    The file size of ProRes is bigger because it contains more information. That's a no-brainer. Unless you're zoomed in all the way, looking at the videos on a pixel-to-pixel basis, you probably won't see the difference. Some will, most won't. But AIC is not nearly as high quality as ProRes. And you don't need HQ, as has be said already.
    You can get portable 1TB hard drives with FW800 and eSATA capability from LaCie, and they're only slightly bigger than rugged drives. I use them all the time in the field, and I use ProRes and DVCProHD to edit.
    AVCHD is an amateur codec. It's compressed. It was designed to make acquisition to delivery one step. (You know, film the kids in the back yard, and then show it on your HDTV so Grandma can see them). That's not what professionals use. Even the pros that use these cameras (mostly because of the price, and that the lenses are getting better) are capturing directly to ProRes in the field (using recorders like the AJA Ki Pro, or I/O HD to a laptop) and bypassing the AVCHD encoding altogether. The fact is, you can't improve your AVCHD footage. It will look only as good as it started, no matter what codec you convert to. You can, however, make it worse.
    Early AVCHD used 4:2:0 color space, but the more recent AVC-INTRA uses 4:2:2. If you go to AIC, you're throwing out color information. That being said, if you can't see the difference using your eyes, then your eyes are not reliable. If you understand the reason why different color spaces work (in regard to the sensitivity of the human eye) then you would understand that we all know our eyes don't tell us enough.
    But here's the real crux. If you're happy with the result, and it gives you what you want, then do it the way you're doing it. But I certainly wouldn't advise others to do it your way. It's not a better way. It's just an acceptable-to-you way.

  • AVCHD on FCP 6, what about FCE HD???

    Now that there is some support for AVCHD on FCP 6, does anyone know when the same type of support will come to Final Cut Express HD? Pleass please please please tell me it's coming...

    as Donna said, speculations are not allowed on this board..
    interesting fact is, that FCP needs a conversion first of AVCHD (=doesn't handle that codec 'natively'), and that the conversion allows the options 'rs422' AND 'Apple Intermediate Codec' .. which is well known to FCE users ...

  • AVCHD to FCP for editing

    AVCHD to FCP workflow. I've just upgraded from the dvx100B to the HMC150, and I have a problem that I don't see discussed when I search. I'm surprised, because it's a really simple question:
    I just received my new HMC150 and I’ve filmed something at 1920x1080, 24p. So now I’m trying to figure out how to edit the AVCHD files in FCP (version 7.0.1). I’m running an eight-core Mac Pro w_ 20Gb of RAM. I assume that I need to transcode the HMC150 files to ProRes 422 or 422 (HQ) to work with them in the Browser.
    So, I transfer the data from the HMC150 SD card to my desktop, and I get a folder labeled AVCHD. Inside this folder I see two more folders entitled “AVCHDTN” and “BDMV”
    Inside “AVCHDTN” are two files, “THUMB.TDT,” and “THUMB.TIC”
    Inside “BDMV” are three folders and two files. The files are labled “INDEX.BDM,” and “MOVIEOBJ.BDM”
    The three folders are labeled “CLIPINF,” “PLAYLIST,” and “STREAM”
    Inside “CLIPINF,” one finds three files labeled “00000.CPI,” “0001.CPI,” and “00002.CPI”
    Inside the PLAYLIST folder is one file labeled “00000.MPL”
    Inside the STREAM folder are three files labeled “00000.MTS,” “00001.MTS,” and “00002.MTS”
    I’ve tried using MPEG_Streamclip, but it doesn’t recognize any of the above files. I’ve also tried importing each of the above folders or files into FCP (to used Media Manager), but it doesn’t recognize any of this data either. What’s the workflow that works? Help!

    Hi
    What's AIC? It's not listed as a Target Format in the Log&Transfer Preferences
    not even if you click on the "ProRes 422" name? It should drop down and show at least Apple Intermediate (others if you have specialized workflows installed eg RED) or FCP 7 offers ProRez 444, I think.
    Anyway if you have lots of Disk Space ProRez is a Higher quality CODEC ... but both AIC and ProRez are bigger "containers" (ie better 'quality') than AVCHD. If your footage was shot well, both will work well. Experiment for yourself and decide your needs.
    IMO it's best to provide Vimeo and YouTube with a file which is *exactly * the size, frame rate and CODEC (including bit rate ) they want to play. That way they won't have to re-process your image at all and potentially introduce distortion.
    Vimeo have a page that specifies exactly what the want .... an MPEG 4 with H264 encoding, 720P (for HD ... deinterlaced if shot at 1080i) capped at 5000Kb/sec bit rate (check it out yourself though. I'm sure YouTube has a similar page). You can set that up in compressor as a new setting, or go on the internet (try Limewire) and find a copy of Visual Hub (V 3.3 is good) with a serial #. It's no longer sold, supported or developed so you won't be able to pay for if if you wanted to! But it still does a great job of You Tube /Vimeo' ing movies. I've loved it for years!
    For DVD Studio Pro, Compressor's presets are fine.... though they only make Stanadrd Def DVD's. I wouldn't recommend the HD-DVD option which is still listed. The HD-DVD format is now obsolete.
    You can make a "BluRay" DVD using your FCP Movie and a Copy of Toast 10 Pro with the( Blu Ray Plug In). It will put up to 20mins of BluRay Data (actually H264) on a 4.3 Gig disk that plays in a BluRay Player. I think there are some options in FCP Studio 3 for BluRay, but I don't have it yet ... maybe it can do the same thing?
    Hope this helps

  • Help importing/exporting AVCHD in FCP 6.0,6

    I have been having numerous problems in Final Cut Pro for the proper procedure on how to Export HD footage at its fullest quality. I shoot with a Sony NX5U and after im done exporting the footage, it always looks terrible. meaning that the footage is distorted and when i go to view full screen it almost looks like Standard Definition... Im not shooting without any gain on the camera so i know that cant be a factor in this case. My import settings are.. Sequence settings " Apple Pro Res (HQ) 422 1920 x 1080 30P" (for when im shooting 30p of course) Capture Preset "HDV Apple Pro Res (HQ)" when i export as a "quicktime movie" set to current settings it always looks bad! I have been messing around with this for a while and i cant seem to figure out what it is that i am doing wrong.
    Could it possibly be that i am using a older version of final cut that i dont have the current up to date capture preset/sequence settings?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    we just bought a volume license and were shipped 6.0.1 studio. the AVCHD plug in at the panasonic site shows a 6.02 and a 6.03 version. I went to the apple FCP support downloads and do not see an update to 6.03 or 6.02. these are on new IMacs in a tv lab.
    thanks.

  • AVCHD and FCP?

    Are there different file extensions within the AVCHD format? I have a Panasonic HD camcorder from some years ago which I think is m2ts files which FCP hates.A friend of mine is using a new Sony 550/VE with FCP and not getting any trouble.Any ideas?

    I purchased clipwrap and simply "Transferred" the .mts file to .mov without changing the clip. I then imported it to FCP and it tells you the "imported video is different to all possible sequence settings, do you want it to match?" and I clicked "No". The red rendering line appeared and after rendering it worked fine. If you answer "Yes match the clip...." the clip plays very badly, in fact the same as the pre-transformed clip.
    I transcoded the rendered clip to prores hq 422 1920X1080 and that worked fine as well.

  • Using AVCHD with FCP 7

    Hello
    I import my footage from my JVC HD GZ HD40, using the function "Log and transfer"
    Does it transfer the files on my MAC HD in "full quality" ?
    Will I need the originals files that are on the HD of the camera when I will make the .mov file ?
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Best
    Cyril

    Since FCP cannot edit AVCHD, it re-encodes the video into a codec that is better for editing. The Apple Pro Res codec is a very good codec. You can select which codec FCP will transcode to by opening the log and transfer window and by clicking on the gear at the top middle of the window. It will let you select preferences, and from there select which codec you would prefer to use - so if you prefer a different flavor of Apple Pro Res, you can select it there.
    I think you need to decide if the video is "full quality" when it is imported into Final Cut. Of course, it will converted from the original, but my experience is that very few people can tell the difference between the original and the imported file.
    The decision with what to do with your original files is up to you. Since you could archive the imported files just as easily as the files on your camera HD. It depends if you want to keep the originals for any reason, and only you can decide that. If it were me, I would leave the files on the camera while I was editing, in case something happened to my imported files. The I could return to the camera to recover the files. But once the edit was complete, and I had archived off the elements I used, I would probably delete the files on the camera HD.
    Sorry that this is not more helpful to you.

  • AVCHD Crashes FCP on Log and Transfer *SURPRISE*

    OK after days of scouring the net I've not been able to come up with a solution...
    I'm running FCP v7 on a quad core Intel mac with 8Gb's RAM
    Whenever I open the Log and Transfer window to attempt to import my AVCHD footage I get the beach-ball of death and a crash.
    iMovie crashes as well if I attempt an import.
    The files are .mts from the new Sony Pov cam
    And yes, I've disabled Perian
    Failing a solution I'm about to ditch Final Cut and go with Premier Pro which now seems to be streets ahead of FCP!
    Any help would be much appreciated

    Sounds like Premiere is indeed the best option, if it's working for you now, and there's a deadline ahead.
    Best of luck with it.

  • Need an app to import avchd into FCP 5.1

    I've been running FCP 5.1 on a G5 in 10.5.8 for a long time, and always been able to do everything I wanted to with it. However, my tape video cameras are dying one by one, always with failure of the tape drives. Tape is dead. Time to move on to AVCHD videocams.
    So, if I am going to eventually have to move to an AVCHD videocam, the problem is that FCP 5 does not import video  from AVCHD videocameras, only from tape.
    This means that I am either going to have to find some app that will import AVCHD from a videocam, and convert it into a form that FCP 5 can use, or else I'm going to have to move up from FCP 5 to FCP 6 or 7, which will also necessitate moving from the G5 to a Mac Pro box. Which also means that my Adobe CS2 software will not work anymore. Jumping up to an Intel box from PPC could get very expensive due to all the software upgrades necessary.
    So to start with, I'm investigating the least painful solution, which would be to find some app in 10.5.8  that I can import AVCHD from a camcorder into, and then move the video from that app to FCP 5.
    Can anyone suggest such an app? Or is this a vain hope?
    Tom

    Thanks Shane. I believe FCP 6 will import AVCHD. If I were to buy a used Mac Pro from someplace like Ebay, and switch from FCP 5 to FCP 6 (which is much cheaper than buying 7), and continue to run 10.5.8, would that not solve my problem?
    This assumes Mac Pro boxes can run 10.5.8. Can they?
    If they can, then that seems like the least expensive way to acquire a version of FCP that can import AVCHD.
    Unless there is some other fatal flaw in this reasoning.

  • Editing codec for AVCHD in FCP

    I shot a film in AVCHD 1080/60i. I want to start editing but the Apple Pro Res 422 files are too big and won't play in realtime on my timeline. I have a MacBook Pro (last years) and a new Drobo 4-bay with plenty of space on it and I'm using FCP 6.  Is there a way to transfer the AVCHD files into a different codec that's just for editing, and then convert it/transfer/export them out to their original resolution once the film is edited? I'm looking for a lighter, faster, more compressed codec just to take a load off my computer in editing and speed things up, but still output to high quality HD video in the end. Please shoot me your thoughts!

    hmm I wonder why? I thought drobos were a lot faster than they used to be.
    Aja has a utility that will test your drive speed
    http://www.aja.com/support/konaNEW/kona-3-3x.php
    "AJA KONA System Test (included as part of the driver download)
    A Macintosh utility for measuring system performance with AJA KONA Video Capture cards. The application includes disk drive speed tests and Macintosh video data copy (DMA) speeds. The disk speed tests differ from standard disk I/O performance applications in that they specifically test the system under conditions typically encountered with video capture, playback and editing. Note: most of the disk performance tests are generic and don't require an AJA KONA Video Capture card. The DMA performance tests do require a KONA card and AJA KONA Driver software to operate. The DMA tests are not compatible with AJA Io products."
    At least you'll have an idea of how fast your drive is, and if it's sufficient for your needs.

  • Capturing AVCHD Crashes FCP

    I've been using the new Panasonic camera hmc 151 AVCHD. I've been using it fine at work without problem except I've found a problem with some footage settings and the Perian plugin.
    I've taken some stuff home to work on but when I click on the 'add to queue' button in the L&T window, FCP just pooofs off the screen.
    Does it everytime without fail.
    I want to post the log file but it's massive, before I do, any ideas?
    OSX 10.5.6
    iMac 2.8 Ghz intel duo core
    FCP 6.0.3

    QT 7.6.2

    hmmmm,
    1920 by 1080 comes in fine but 1280 by 720 crashes FCP.
    The clips play fine in the L&T window but won't transfer.

  • AVCHD in FCP (specifically the JVC GZ-HM1)

    It seems that the type of camera plays a big part in FCP's ability to 'log and transfer' a shoot ... and not just the file type. Is there a more efficient way to ingest the JVC GZ-HM1 (AVCHD) files other than constant transcoding with all its issues?
    thanks, Ric

    Download Canon's EOS Movie plugin for FCP, it keeps all metadata and timecode in tact, and is about the fastest way to ingest (as fast as MPEGStreamClip, which doesn't hold any metadata). In Log & Transfer, use ProRes LT for DSLR footage.
    As with any tapeless camera, download the manufacture's own plugin for Log & Transfer. Apple made Log & Transfer a pulgin architecture so that camera makers can create their own conversion software, which keeps quality up, and Apple doesn't have to race to keep up with every new camera released ever few months.

  • AVCHD in FCP

    Anyone with experience with the AVCHD format in FCP? Does it play in realtime in the sequence. Is it as easy to import like p2 files?
    I will maybe buy the Sony HDR-SR7E cam..

    Search the discussions for "AVCHD"
    This has been discussed at length.

  • AVCHD disc FCP 7

    Has anyone else had this problem...
    Just burnt my first AVCHD disc out of FCP7. The 4 minute sequence I exported contained several clips that I'd used the smoothcam filter on. When playing back the AVCHD disk in my PS3 and also on a Sony BD player, every clip that had smoothcam used on it, shimmers and blurs horrendously. Every clip that I didn't use smoothcam on looks great. All of the clips with smoothcam applied look fine on my computer. The shimmering only rears it's ugly head once I've burnt the AVCHD dIsc.
    Any suggestions?

    Ian, the DVD media itself is just a UDF filesystem format which contains the folders/files in the defined AVCHD structure. I believe the top level contains "BDMV" and maybe "Certificate"? been a while since I've looked at one.
    Being just a UDF file system disc, you should be able to make copies of it. The fact that you receive an

    error message makes me wonder about the quality of the disc you are trying to copy. There is nothing inherently odd or protected about the UDF file system format. I believe you'll find that all DVDs use this.
    As you probably know, consumer players are more inclined to skip errors during playback whereas a computer being asked to make a faithful copy of the media will not ignore them.
    If you can, try copying the files in their exact structure off the original disc. Place them in a folder on your HD. Then use Toast to burn them (with the same layout ) onto a UDF disc.

  • No audio when importing AVCHD into FCP X?  Simple solution.

    After hours of trial and error and several phone calls to support, I figured out why my AVCHD footage (MTS files from a Canon vixia HF S100)  had no audio when importing into FCPX.  The solution was to simply uncheck the box - "Remove silent channels" - under Audio in the pop-up import window .  That did the trick. 
    I had tried  importing from a card reader, the camera and from an external hard drive and then tried 2 converter programs (MPEG streamclick and   Wondershare Video Conerter Ultimate.)
