QuickTime using the Apple Intermediate Codec, assuming the media is HD.

MTS File Conversion for iMovie

Dear Apple Support Community,
I am struggling with movie file conversions, and getting the optimum results from such a process before starting my editing work in iMovie.
I have a Canon HD camcorder which records movies according to AVCHD standards. Before using iMovie, I need to convert the .MTS files to a format which is compatible with iMovie, and I have tried the following:
Copy the files from the SD card on to my HDD.
Using Toast 11 (Titanum), I have selected different profiles to convert the file to formats such as MOV, M4V, MP4 etc.
The converted files yields a size that does not match the original one i.e. a 300 MB file after being converted, is now either 791 MB, or 96 MB in this case.
When importing the converted file into iMovie, iMovie still wants to optimize the file for some reason (I believe using APPLE INTERMEDIATE CODEC resolves the optimization issue)
Import the files directly from the SD card into iMovie, provided I have not altered the original file structure i.e. when inserting the SD card, iMovie recognizes the SD card the same way it would for connecting the Camera.When I select the videos to be imported, iMovie does so without hassles, but the files again turn out to be bigger than the original file by a factor of between 2 and 3, depending on the original file.
What is the best way to convert files to preserve the quality as close as possible to the original?
Is it normal for coverted files to be larger than the original file after being converted (smaller makes sense, but bigger just baffles me)
Thanks for any feedback!

Thanks for the great feedback.
I do have struggles though in general, part of which originates from my camera itself.
My camera still has a tendency to record an interlaced effect even though my settings are confidently selected to progressive (I have 50i and 25p to choose from - 25p is my selection).
However, when I use Toast Titanium, I have an option to select the source video to be deinterlaced, but Toast does not do a good job at deinterlacing, compared to Handbrake. The benefit of my Toast Preset is that I can covert the video to an Apple Intermediate Codec, which means that when the files are imported into iMovie, the process is rather quick.
When I convert using Handbrake, the software does a pretty **** good job at deinterlaing, but the downside is that I cannot find a preset that makes import into iMovie satisfactory.
So, in light of all this long discussion I gave, my question is really, what is the best file converter for iMovie to convert MTS files that need to be deinterlaced.
Thanks for any help!

Which setting should I have my apple tv set for picture resolution/quality it takes like a whole day for a movie to download before we can watch it

Which setting should I have my apple tv set for picture resolution/quality as it can take a whole day to download a movie before we can watch it??

The video/audio display settings should set automatically for the best your TV can handle (720p AppleTV2, 1080p AppleTV3).
The download resolution for rentals or playback of purchases from the cloud is set in settings for iTunes store.
Sounds as though you have slow internet. For near instant streaming of video from iTunes store you need around:
Standard Definition     2.5 Mbps
720p HD                    6 Mbps
1080p HD                  8 Mbps
Any slower for a given quality setting and the movie has to buffer as it can't keep up in real time. This might be a few minutes if close to the rated speed or many hours, even overnight.
As pcd251s suggests you could test internet speed (speedtest.net on a computer for example). If that is fine, sometimes the LAN if on wifi can be extremely slow in certain locations - ethernet connections would troubleshoot that.
Slow internet is the common issue here. AppleTV does not have permanent storage and using it to play other content or browse trailers while a rental is buffering can reset the buffering process.   In such cases you might be better off planning in advance, renting in iTunes, letting the whole thing FULLY download and it will then be available across teh LAN to stream from computer to AppleTV under Computers>iTunes library name>Rentals.

Should I convert my MTS (AVCHD) file to another file type before editing with elements 10

I know premiere elements 10 has project settings for working with AVCHD footage but after doing a bit of reading about how AVCHD (MTS) files are a lot harder for your computer to work with I'm thinking it might be better to convert my raw video files to another video file type before editing with premiere elements 10.
I have a reasonably good computer, but it's only a laptop with 361gb free memory, radeon graphics card, core i5 processor and 8GB ram.
If I should convert these files first what file type should I convert them to without loosing too much video quality and where can I find a program to convert them.
Many thanks
Sally

I have a reasonably good computer, but it's only a laptop with 361gb free memory, radeon graphics card, core i5 processor and 8GB ram.
My granddaughters and I have been using one of those to edit videos taken in (two) Sony and (one) Panasonic cameras. The computer is a mid grade Toshiba laptop that is about three years old. The cameras were purchased after the computer. Our computer does not have a graphics card, but the other specs are about the same.

I didn't read that until after we had made videos. The issue is the project preset that is set when you open a new project. If you guess wrong, PrE10 tells you so when you slide the first clip to the timeline.
There is confusion about AVCHD because there is a 1.0 and a 2.0. The "high" setting for many cameras the last couple of years was 1080p60. That did not become part of AVCHD until last July. Now it is and is called 2.0. PrE10 specs include AVCHD 1.0, so the 1080p60 is "officially" unsupported. I didn't know that, so I tried a few presets when my files were 1080p60. A preset of 720p60 worked best.
The "work harder" part primarily has to do with the preview window during editing. If it is not going smoothly there will probably be a red line above the clip. Pressing "Enter", getting a cup of coffee and patience will make the red line go away and the preview will be smoother. The relationship between project presets and final output is a mystery. My experience is that the presets have only to do with real time preview and little to do with output. Output requires an entire re-encoding for the chosen viewing platform. PrE10 seems to ignore the project presets, uses all the markers set in editing and builds the final products from scratch.

Steve and Bill invest a lot of time here helping people like you and me. But, my experience is that they are wrong. I see no need to convert the files. Conversion always has the risk of loosing a little picture quality. PrE10 seems to handle AVCHD fine. Let it do the final render using the actual source clips.
Sally, consider upgrading to version 11 where AVCHD 2.0 and 1080p60 is included. I have. Processing is a little smother.
Bill
PS: Please, with all due respect to Bill and Steve who work hard here, I disagree based only on experience with 3 cameras and one computer. User experience varies!

Audio files taking up too much room- which format should I use?

I bought a 32GB iphone so that I would be able to put a decent amount of music on it, but it seems to be eating the memory space. Itunes says I have 2GB of audio, but I only have 214 tracks (average 3-4 minute songs). Compared to my Creative Zen player the files are three times the size, and I can't tell much differece in the audio quality, so it seems a bit ridiculous. Is this something to do with Apple plus, and please can anyone recommend which format will give me decent quality music without taking up so much space? I'm guessing I'll have to delete the old files from itunes and copy them again in a different quality?
Message was edited by: Jai.

Go to the Summary Tab with the iPhone connected, and select the 'convert to 128 mbps' option, that will reduce the files size automatically for you when music is loaded on the iPhone. No need to delete the music from the iPhone first.

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.

Lossless converting of mts file?

I just bought Canon LEGRIA HF G25 and this camera stores videos in mts format. I open mts files in Premiere Pro CC but when I try to play it in the preview as it does not look good.
Therefore I am wondering if there is an easy way to convert mts files to MP4 format without quality loss?

No point in converting them to mp4. Still heavily compressed.
PPCC can edit mts natively.
Did you set playback to full?
What are your comp. specs?

What format should Full Screen DV be imported into for editing?

I have a rather lengthy program recorded in Full Screen DV. What format should it be converted to for editing on a macbook pro? A format that has the best quality when rendered but not so taking on the computer when editing.
I need: Frame rate, file format, pixel size, etc...
Thanks

... program recorded in Full Screen DV. What format should it be converted to for editing on a macbook pro?
The video needs to be QuickTime/Apple DV codec (Apple DV-PAL if you are in Europe, Apple DV-NTSC if you are in North America).
If your video is already in that format, there is no conversion necessary or desireable.
The alternative would be QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec but if your material is already DV the conversion will cause loss of quality.

.MTS File conversion for FCP X

Does anyone know how to convert .MTS Files from my Canon XA10 that produces AVCHD. I saved the MTS Files but not the structure Private Folders so it won't recognize the files. When I use Toast 10 or 11 I get artifacting during scene motion. The apple import function for AVCHD does not creat this artifacting as I tried when properly saved and imported into FCP.

Try ClipWrap to rewrap or convert the files to QuickTime.

Flip Camera files in FCP. Which format should I use?

hi Everyone!
I own a flip camera which gives me mp4 files 1280x720.
I does not seem to work fine with FCP.
I would like to convert them. What is the best format to use in FCP if I want to keep the 1280x720 format without to much quality loss?
Thank you very much.

Yes. I have the file on my hardrive.
Again the format is as follows.
Mpeg 4, 1280*720, 30 mbps.
I have the free software Mpeg streamclip to convert them in any format I want.
As I am a newbie I do not know which one to choose.
I just want to stick to 1280*720 and work as smoothly as possible in FCP without to much quality loss.

What format should I convert my itunes library to?

I'm not sure if this is the right place but oh well. I have an itunes library of 12,455 songs. I just realized that I had been using a sample rate of 48 kHz, instead of the usual 44.1kHZ. So I'm going to try to convert my music again but I'm confused on which file format to go for (aac or mp3), I hear aac is better than mp3. I'm looking for something that can play on most equipment and still sound good without being huge in filesize. I figure if I'm going to be ripping my music again than I might as well choose something that sounds good. Only problem is that I have all my music backed up on an old hard drive in 320 kbps mp3 so I'm wondering if its a good idea to use aac after all being that the source material is in mp3 format. What do people recommend I should do?

mp3 is more global, so if you decide against using itunes in the future, you wouldn't have to convert anything again.

What should I convert my .mod file into to edit in imovie hd 5. ?

I have a JVC Everio GZ-MG505(japanese model)the ultra fine setting records at 720*576 pixels, 8.5 Mbps with 48kHz, 384 kbps audio
The .mod files stored on the hard drive is some kind of Mpeg-2 with Dolby(2 ch) annoyance! I have freeware called 'steamclip' Which coverts this file.
Should I covert it to DV(25),DVC pro(25) or Dvc pro(50)? and if I do should i deinterlace the video?
When it comes to converting to Mpeg I've got more options than you can wave a stick at, which has become bewildering,
I can-
export to quicktime, Mpeg with all kinds of audio options
and there's an awful lot of demux options,
I tried imovie hd 5. once with mpeg and then with dv(25)
So what do you reckon? dv or some kind of mpeg variation?
Oh and you probably guessed but I'm trying to burn it to a NTSC DVD-R
I would appreciate any advice Thanks

bitteschön (on your keyboard: alt-o = ö) ;-))
.. hmm, well, dv, esp for 'video' as on TV and in iMovie should be 48KHz, interlaced...
that segmenting is just for use with iM≤5, which does not allow import of files larger then 2GB in size...
frame blending is, to my knowledge, only needed if you change the framerate.. e.g. you have a 15fps iNet video and try to convert it into 25fps PAL... or you do a standard conversion NTSC<<>>PAL ...
... probably Matti Haveri meets this thread, he's our Streamclip specialist ... he has a 'tutorial' on his website http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/%7Eshmhav/SVCDon_a_Macintosh.html#edit_convertMPEG (Matti is a little ... 'shy' of using pics on websites ... )

Which format should I have the camera men send me for editing in HD?

Hello All,
Thank you in advance for all help. I have a Mac G4 with dual processor, 2gb mem, FCEHD 3.0, 500GB external hard disk and Canon GL2.
I have been editing fine with this setup for quite some time and am very pleased. I now have a client that will be sending me concert tour footage (3 cameras) from each city. My question is, what will I need to get this done? I would like several recommendations from different editors if possible?
If it will be too costly to do this, what are your recommendations? Thank you again, MilliMac

millimac -
With FCE 3.0 the only formats for direct capture in FCE are either DV or HDV. Your GL2 is only a DV format camera, so if you are going to use your GL2 to capture tapes that your client sends you, they should shoot in DV, not HDV. Further, make sure your client shoots in 480i60 (NTSC interlaced) not 480p30 (progressive). Depending on their camera they may or may not have an option to select progressive mode, but you should make sure to tell them that you need NTSC DV, interlaced. That should be enough information for them.
The GL2 can also shoot/play anamorphic so you could get 16:9 video if your client can shoot DV Anamorphic. (Keep in mind that is simply 16:9 aspect ratio, it is not HD or HDV video). However this can be a tricky area unless the same camera model is used for both the shoot and the FCE capture.
If for some reason they intend to send you HDV material you will either need an HDV camera yourself in order to capture the tapes in FCE, or some alternate means to import the video to your Mac plus convert it to Apple Intermediate Codec before importing it into FCE (vs capturing it in FCE). MPEG Streamclip is a great utility for doing the conversion but it adds extra steps between the tape and being able to edit the video in FCE.
I hope this was helpful.
