Not all can be displayed or used by FCPX. H264 streams come in many flavours with bazillions of options. There is no change to the underlying data when re-wrapping.

These streams can be re-encapsulated into a quicktime movie or m4v container by re-wrappers like ClipWrap. VLC can tell you the fomat and number of the media streams inside the MTS container. MTS files can be played directly by VLC and a few other apps.

I can't give all the answers, and I expect it will be trial and error for each of us!įirst up, an MTS file is a container for an H264 video stream and one or more audio streams. I'm completely over playing around with all this stuff and just want to get to editing the 18 months of footage I've piled up and get things easier moveing forward. I'm willing to dump 5.1 and keep the Canon if it means I have capture in 30p and just bring everything in, edit and export with less steps. I've created a tolorable 60p work flow with Clipwrap, but interested in yours. I just replied to photo ninja's 60p post. If so, can you give me a basic workflow from initial ingest to RevolverHD all the way to File Export (including prefered exported format)? Your most recent seems to suggest you've achived the 2 goals above. I have a 2 year old and she's always on the move! Smooth motion playback on a Mac, HTPC or Disk Image (DVD or BDR) that looks like it was shot in 60p. I prefer not to transcode, but will if needed. It seems I have to jump through some hoops to get the 60p footage to work in FCPX and it's nothing for the Canon to ingest.

After hearing the results of the Panasonic 5.1, there is no comparison. When shooting 60i on both cams, the Canon is a clear winner on image detail, but it's only 2channel audio. I LOVE the look the Panasonic has when shooting in 60p and I LOVE it's 5.1. I currently have a Panasonic TM900 and Canon HFG10 (each companies latest and greatest) to see which one is "better". I only have a 512MB DDR3 ATI card in my MacPro.Ĭould you take a minute to help.

I'd prefer to not transcode the Video, but I understand that might be required to put less pressure on my CPU and Graphics Card. I've been experimenting with Clipwrap the past few days and have been getting good results with re-wrapping the files to ProRes LT w/ 5.1 LPCM, imporing to FCPX, editing (with mild stutter, I have an Xeon MacPro Octo) and then exporting as H.264.Ĭould you provide me with the settings you used in Media Converter (maybe a screen shot)? I downloaded it and can't get my head around which settings to use. They didn't (yet), but I dig your solution. I've got oodles of footage I've stock piled since I bought the TM700 a year ago and have been "waiting" for Apple and FCPX to deliver. I'd rather do an elaborate workflow than shoot in 60i and bring my footage to half the frame size to keep smoothness.

I realize I'm limited to playing the files on my Mac or HTPC, but I don't care. Overall, this is exactly the "look" I'm wanting with my 60p footage from my TM900. Great Short Video! Did you use a polorized lens for the shots at the beach? On the subject of Blu-Rays, I haven't burned any with FCPX, yet, but had done so with FCE, again, using Toast and a Master AIC file created from the natively imported MTS files with good results. As far as getting 50p/60p files into FCPX is concerned, I've been using Toast (VoltaicHD crashes on attempting this) to transcode my 1080p50 files to ProRes so that I can import them into FCPX. I will try that when burning Blu-Rays, for example, and see if there is a difference in quality to alternative workflows. I also like the suggestion of creating a Master ProRes file with FCPX using the imported ClipWrapped MTS files. I have to uncheck "create optimized files" to get the ClipWrapped 50p/60p files (in Europe we use 50p) into FCPX. Even if your posts are long, they are very useful. This will not help to get 60p (saw your post later - I don't mean 30p or 60i) video into a format that works with FCPX. Just to be clear, my reference to RevolverHD related to the post by Sanctanox.
