The best Mac MTS Splitter-Editing/splitting AVCHD MTS/M2TS videos successfully on Mac

I have recorded a long video with Sony HDR-CX700 Camcorder, but there are some parts I would like to cut off. I once thought a video converter is a must for cutting videos.But I search for a long time , found may spliter and converter just for windows, no MAC. Yesterday, my friend recommended me try Aunsoft Final Mate for Mac. Not only can help me  frame by frame cutting/splitting AVCHD without re-encoding, but also can help me convert mts to Apple ProRes and  AIC  codec for Final Cut Pro/ iMovie.
I think should have many users need a program that allows for  (frame by frame) cut AVCHD MTS/M2TS videos files.If you are looking for any frame accuracy solution to do with the AVCHD videos encoded in MTS format on Mac,  Aunsoft Final Mate for Mac is the best choice for you. This is the first Mac software which can help HD camcorders users to realize frame by frame editing/splitting AVCHD MTS/M2TS videos successfully on Mac.
Here I would like to demonstrate the simple steps to cut AVCHD MTS/M2TS videos files without re-encoding on Mac.
Step 1. Load AVCHD MTS videos to Aunsoft Final Mate for Mac.
- To load AVCHD videos from camcorder
Connect camcorder to computer with USB cable, and run Aunsoft Final Mate for Mac, you will be asked to follow the wizard. Otherwise, click the Camcorder button to load camcorder videos.
You can choose to backup the videos to computer or just import videos. Here we just select Import to add videos from camcorder to the program.
Step 2. Add MTS files for split with no recompression.
Click the Add movie button, and a movie for lossless output will be created by default. Select the MTS files you would like to cut mts from the Camcorder tab, drag and drop to the movie.
Step 3. Split/Cut AVCHD video.
From the timeline, you may notice the vernier, which is used as time pointer. Click on the Vernier, and move to the timeline you want to cut, and click the "Split" button to cut the video. You may also click the Split button when the video plays to the point you want to cut.
Then click on segment you want to cut off from the timeline, and then click the Delete button next to the Split button to remove the unwanted part.
Step 4. Export videos without conversion.
Choose Export in the main interface, and click the OK button to get videos without recompression. You will get the cutted/splitted AVCHD without quality lost in a few minutes.

I hear good things about ClipWrap. The other good one is Voltaic HD  from Shedworx.
I suggest that you read their websites and choose the best one for you.
I think they have demo versions.
If you import directly from your camera, you don't need these.
Also, for future reference, you can use the Create Camera Archive feature on the Import screen. This will save your AVCHD files exactly as they are on your camera, but it will also preserve the metadata from your camera so that iMovie can import it later. It is a good way to save the contents of your camera at its original size and full quality.
When you import AVCHD into iMovie it is converted into Apple Intermediate Codec for better performance, but it will be a larger file size because it is less compressed.
With ClipWrap, you have the option to keep the file at its original size, but I would not recommend this for performance reasons. (But you can try it if you have a powerful Mac).

    Why can't you do this? There's plenty of third-party software that can do the job. Download a few from
    MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and try them out before choosing one to purchase.

  • What is the best way to set up an external drive for video storage

    What is the best way to set up an external drive for video storage?

    Check the formatting. It need to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). This is also known as HFS+.
    FAT32 and NTFS formatting will not work with iMovie.
    If necessary, you can reformat using Disk Utility.
    Make one large partition. No need for multiple partitions.
    Do moves or copies to the external drive through iMovie as detailed in iMovie Help. If you move Events in the Finder, they may become unlinked from the projects that use them.

  • What is the best way to back-up and load Hi-8 video onto my i-Mac so I can edit it on i-movie? A camera store will convert it to DVD for $32/120min.ll

    What is the best way to back-up my Hi-8 video tapes and then load them onto my i-Mac so I can edit them on i-movie? A camera store will convert them to DVD for $32/120min. Will I lose a lot of quality that way?

    Quality is not much of an issue with Hi8, the main issue is age of the tapes.  The older the tapes, the more degraded the images are going to be.  Regardless of how you transfer the video, the quality is going to be pretty much the same.
    The "best" way depends on how valuable the images are to you and how many tapes you have.  I did a similar project last winter with a collection of 14 Hi8 tapes that dated from 1994 to 2002.  I bought a converter bridge (Canopus), maximum RAM for my Mac, and a huge hard drive.  I also decided to get Final Cut Express because it had more ability to enhance the pictures after downloading them.  I am very happy with the results, but it cost me nearly $1200 for the upgrades, equipment, and software.
    The only other thing to consider is to be sure that if you go with an outside vendor (like the Camera Store) that the files they provide for you will be in a format that iMovie can recognize.
    Good luck.

  • What's the best way of importing, editing, exporting and watching AVCHD videos without losing quality?

    Whenever I import AVCHD (.mts extension files) to Final Cut Pro X (via Import from camera), iMovie, Adobe Premiere Elements 10 or Adobe Premiere Pro CS4; when I later export those videos to any format I can imagine, I can't get the same quality than when I play them through the camera connected by HDMI to TV (the camera's movements are not any smooth).
    How have you solved this problem? Is it just me?
    By the way, maybe the problem is in watching: what apps do you use to play the exported media? Do you watch the final videos just on TV? Do you create blu-ray discs?
    I was also wondering what would happen if I created a blu-ray image, have you tried this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Pol

    My video was shot by a Canon HF100 at 1440x1080 25fps 1080i 25i (interlaced) and imported to Final Cut Pro X without transcoding to ProRes (1st time) and transcoding (2nd time).
    The project settings are set to: set automatically based on 1st video clip (so they're 1440x1080 1080i 25i) and I used to leave Audio and Render to default settings (Surround, 48kHz, ProRes 422), but I have also done a few tests with ProRes 422 HQ and Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2. Should I try with ProRes 4444?
    I usually export the project using Current settings (in video codec), and I've also burned an AVCHD DVD (I plybacked it on PlayStation 3 - also looked choppy). I've also exported to H.264 codec.
    The video looks choppy on Mac played by Quicktime and VLC. The video I could export to MP4 also looked choppy on PlayStation 3 and Samsung LED TV.
    Thanks for taking your time,
    Pol

  • What is the best format & settings to edit video in FCP?

    My organization uses a HD Panasonic Camera to record video, which is recorded in .MTS. Our editing software (FCP 7) is installed on a Mac and I am unable to view or edit the original video until I convert it into a different format using iSkysoft iMedia Converter. Recently I have been converting it into what I think is similar settings to the original file (.MOV, Xvid, 1280x720, 30 fps, 1200 kbps). Are these settings appropriate for editing video? If not, could you please offer advice as to what settings I should convert the video into.
    Thank you for your help.
    (This post is relative to a similar question I asked earlier today, but this post is for future reference so I start projects on the right foot).

    WHich Panasonic HD camera. MTS means that it is an AVCHD camera. And no, you can't edit those directly, but FCP has an import tool for tapeless media called LOG AND TRANSFER (in the FILE menu). You use that to import the footage from that camera. It will convert the footage to ProRes or Apple INtermediate codec. THOSE are the formats you need to convert to. What is found in the EASY SETUP list. Not just any QT will work...not every QT format is editable.
    What you need to do is backup the entire SD card to a drive, or import from the SD card. But the full card structure needs to be present in order for FCP to do this.
    If Log and Transfer doesn't work, then you use CLIPWRAP to convert to ProRes.

  • Where is the best place to make a slideshow with pictures and music on a mac?

    Where is the best place to make a slideshow with pictures and music on Macbook Pro?

    There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
    If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
    Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
    http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
    (Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico:  http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
    Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
    Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie  as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast,  for burning.
    You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
    To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

  • What is the best proejct setting for editing h.264 video?

    I have captured hours of VHS footage via an Elgato Video Capture device for Mac.   Captured video is in H.264 format.
    Trying to edit the video in Adobe Premiere Elements 10, but it is being very fussy.   Takes a long time to import media.  Once in and a few cuts are made, timeline drags and freezes repeatedly.   This was with a setting for HDV 720p 30.  
    Is my problem with the project setting?  I hope so.  But I also hope I can figure out what the proper setting should be.   Any thoughts?
    Footage is decades old.  Not the best quality, of course.  I do want the final project to look as good as possible and be in Widescreen for uploading to Youtube.

  • What is the BEST file format for editing HD in CS5?

    We are building a remote production truck and it will be tapeless with all hard disk video recording. We have not decided on what brand of disk based recording system we are getting.
    I am looking for opinions of what the most ideal file format to capture in HD for editing in CS5? What is the highest quality yet fastest and most efficient for editing basic 1080i30 or 1080p30 video for broadcast?
    There are so many devices that capture quicktime but quicktime is crippled to 32bit in windows and we want to avoid it.
    thanks!

    I'm sorry i guess i didn't mean to confuse you with the word "capture" in that question. there are
    tons of hard disk based recording systems out there that "capture" our video to a disk into a file we can import into premiere and edit.
    This will be a live production truck, video will come out of our production switcher SDI into some companies recording device which will have a plethora of codec choices to record with. We want to choose a product that will give us files that will work best in premiere CS5 with gtx460 gfx cards and matrox axio le hardware.  Just wanted to see if anyone who has edited various codecs has noticed if any seem to work faster and better then others.
    there are many companies we are looking at that make such disk based recorders including nnovia,aja,panasonic/p2, fast forward, etc...
    i want to avoid quicktime and am more interested in mpeg4, or mpeg4 part10 (h264), or p2, omf, mxf are possibilities, any opinions?

  • What is the best tablet for photoshop editing?

    For Christmas I want to get my dad a tablet (I guess this is what they are called? With the pen?) for editing his photos on the computer. He loves editing his pictures on Adobe Lightroom, but always complains about the mouse giving him trouble. So without asking my Dad questions and giving the gift idea away, it would be awesome if you could give me some input, advice, and suggestions. Thank you. I'm so excited about surprising my Daddy this Christmas!

    I purchased the 9.8 x 6.9 inch tablet. I use the touch function for browsing
    the web and most of the time for general work instead of the mouse. I use
    the pen when working with Lightroom or Photoshop Elements  and plugins such
    as Photomatix or Perfect Layers; any time when requiring delicate input.

  • Which is the best mouse for photo editing in Photoshop CS5?

    Hi everyone! Im planning to buy a mouse and can't decide which one would be the best. I have been using Photoshop CS5. Im really into photgraphy, its a new passion of mine. I use a Macbook Pro but I think its time to get a mouse. I know a lot of people think that the tablet is the answer and Im looking into that but I really want to try a mouse first. Thanks for the answers!

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I recommend the 15-inch MacBook Pro if you can afford it. That's because Photoshop runs better on a dedicated graphic card, which only the 15-inch MacBook Pro includes, but it should run without any problem on a 13-inch MacBook Pro too

  • What is the best PC platform for LR 4? Especially optimum video card and amount of RAM?

    I have a high end i7 Windows 7 64bit PC with 12GB ram and 3TB disks - some in RAID 0, yet LR sliders lag and image scrolling/rendering can take up to 5 seconds, which makes editing hundreds of images in a session a pain.
    I am using an ATI Radeon video card and 27" monitor (2560x1440). I am prepared to buy any graphics card or even switch to an iMac, but want snappy LR performance.
    What is the recommended setup, please?

    Running LR in a window, approx 1400 x 900 made the sliders responsive and smooth!
    My system drive, which is also the LR Catalog is RAID 0 and is 250MB/sec access, which is as good as I can get with SSD
    I have an AT Radeon HD4800 video with latest driver
    I am running LR 4.1 RC2
    I have tried exiting all non-essential programs, including AV (with internet disconnected) - made no difference
    How much would I spend on a video card upgrade? Up to $750, however from what I am reading, LR doesn't use GPU acceleration so this is a waste of time and money.
    I am going to try my i-7 MacBook Pro, driving the 27" monitor, as a comparison, and report back.
    Thanks for all the responses so far. If you can add anything, please do so.
    Are there any configuration guidlines to make LR quicker, anywhere?
    My other band-aid is to manually transfer my project's raw files to the HDD, and then pre-view them with a fast browser, to weed out the rejects, before importing the rest into LR for editing and filing.
    I looked some good programs, for this:
    PhotoMechanic ($150)
    Seems to be the ultimate, and is both Mac and Windows, however price is difficult to justify.
    Breeze Browser Pro ($70)
    Fast but pricy compared to LR with all its features, but may be a goer, considering the time it saves.
    Fast Picture Viewer ($40 + $10 for code pack)
    Also very fast, but no tree folder view, which I find limiting. Price is getting better.
    XNView (Free)
    Good option. Bit slower than the paid apps, but still quite good.
    FastStone Image Vewer (Free)
    Comparable to XNView, just a tad slower, but seems that development has been suspended. I did see a 64bit codepac though, which I hadn't look ed at.
    There are too many more to list. Do any of you guys use anything like this?
