MTS to MKV-Jointless MTS merging and rewrapping to MKV containe |
MTS to MKV-Jointless MTS merging and rewrapping to MKV containe
High definition consumer camcorders like Sony Handycam, JVC Everio and Panasonic DMC series shoot and save footage in AVCHD file structure (based on actual directory structure from Canon and Panasonic camcorders). Aside from recorded audio and video, AVCHD includes features to improve media presentation: menu navigation, slide shows and subtitles. There are 2 problems when it comes to playing raw AVCHD contents because of the file system.
1. For better playback of AVCHD contents, it requires that your Blu-ray player or HD media player support navigating AVCHD file structure, while the latter needs to be re-generated each time you delete some unnecessary .MTS or .M2TS clips.
2. When you have an HD media player (e.g. WD TV Live Plus) read individual .MTS and .M2TS clips instead of AVCHD file system, the order of the recordings is messed up. This media player supports the most popular file formats listed as below:
[*] Video: AVI (Xvid, AVC, MPEG1/2/4), MPG/MPEG, VOB, MKV (h.264, x.264, AVC, MPEG1/2/4, VC-1), TS/TP/M2T (MPEG1/2/4, AVC, VC-1), MP4/MOV (MPEG4, h.264), M2TS, WMV9, FLV (h.264)
[*] Photo: JPEG, GIF, TIF/TIFF, BMP, PNG
[*] Audio: MP3, WAV/PCM/LPCM, WMA, AAC, FLAC, MKA, AIF/AIFF, OGG, Dolby Digital, DTS
[*] Playlist: PLS, M3U, WPL
[*] Subtitle: SRT, ASS, SSA, SUB, SMI
One good solution to solve the problem is, organize and join the AVHCD .MTS/.M2TS together. Merging .MTS/.M2TS clips usually takes a long time encoding the H.264 contents. So you may have seen this question asked somewhere else:
"Does anyone know of a way to join multiple .MTS files - without having to re-encode the video?"
To fast organize and join .MTS/.M2TS files without encoding, the Pavtube Media Magician for Mac is a best choice. Its "Lossless Output" option provides a jointless MTS/M2TS/TOD merging and rewrapping solution. This allows you to capture AVCHD footage from camcorder and join multiple .MTS or .M2TS clips into one and rewrap it to M2TS or MKV format without encoding. Not only the processing time is greatly shortened, but also you get the original HD quality.
Free Download Pavtube Media Magician or Mac
Note: The free trial version of Pavtube Media Magician for Mac has the following limitations:
[*] It will add Pavtube logo watermark in output file(s).
[*] Lossless output has a file size limit of 5 minutes.
Warnings:
To remux camera videos to MKV/M2TS, you need to use "Lossless Output" in Media Magician for Mac. There are some things you need to pay attention to while using "Lossless Output":
1. Currently the "Lossless Output" only handles MTS, M2TS, MOD, and TOD formats, thus you are limited to do the following rewrapping without conversion:
- Remux MTS to MTS
- Remux M2TS to M2TS
- Remux TOD to TOD
- Remux MOD to MOD
- Remux MTS to MKV
- Remux M2TS to MKV
- Remux TOD to MKV
- Remux MOD to MKV
2. The format and codec of video files on timeline should be substantially the same;
3. Any editing effects (such as Effect, Audio, 3D) will be ignored when output.
The steps to merge and remux AVCHD videos to M2TS/MKV on Mac.
Step 1. Import source files into Media Magician for Mac
Run Pavtube Media Magician for Mac, load source videos into it. (Learn the details on how to import source videos into Media Magician) ??
Step 2. Organize and edit the loaded clips in Timeline panel
In the Timeline panel of Pavtube Media Magician for Mac, you can copy a video clip by "Duplicate This Clip" in the Timeline. You can also change the start time and end time of a clip to trim/cut off unwanted parts in a movie clip. To remove clips, select one or more clips in the sequence and press "Delete". You can also change the order of clips once they are there in the Timeline. If you would like to split a clip into two parts, you can drag the cursor/pointer to the right place and click the "Cut" button to cut off the clip.
Step 3. Remux camera videos to MKV/M2TS with no conversion on Mac
Choose "Output" in the main interface, and click "Plus" icon to add conversion task before selecting output format. Then switch to "Lossless" > "original" or "Lossless" > "MKV" and click "Start" to begin exporting M2TS to M2TS or remux MTS/M2TS/TOD/MOD to MKV without recompression on Mac. |

User-intuitive Mac Video Editing App for AVCHD, AVI, MKV, WMV and any video |
User-intuitive Mac Video Editing App for AVCHD, AVI, MKV, WMV and any video
Source: mts-to-aic-converter.com
For Mac users, it's hard to find an easier way to bring your moving images together into one professional looking production than the built-in video editor iMovie. I've been working with iMovie for a while and thought it great till I got stuck importing some AVI videos- iMovie simply would not recognize them. Later I found the real big problem, that my MTS shootings taken with a Sony AVCHD camcorder grey out when I tried to bring them for editing.
Is there an easy-to-use free video editor for Mac that works with any video? I did long time Google search and spent a few hours trying out the top picks, yet none works to my satisfactory. Some do not deal my AVCHD footage, others are not so intuitive to use. Then I got this Pavtube Media Magician for Mac, which is brilliant! I would definitely recommend this app to anyone who is seeking for an iMovie alternative.
Why I like it? It edits everything ЁC AVCHD footage, MXF, AVI, MKV, flashes, MPEG, VOB videos copied from DVD, and even my TiVo shows! And the interface is sooo easy to get started. You just import a video to the app, then drag it to the timeline where you start editing. The control buttons on timeline help you locate frames accurately so that you can cut, trim, delete, and merge video clips in a much easier way.
The following passages are some guidance quoted from its help page How to split/cut/trim MTS in frame accurate editor:
Control buttons on Timeline of Media Magician for Mac:
1. Time Display Controller: Move your mouse cursor on timeline, the opposite time point will be displayed here. Once you entered a time point into the time display box and click enter, the Preview Window and Timeline will switch to the frame of this time point. This helps to locate to the accurate frame that you want.??
2. Zoom in and Zoom out: Drag the bar on top-right of timeline to Zoom in or out for better view.
3. Preview: Highlight a clip on timeline and click Play button, you can preview. Double click on a clip can also begin preview.
4.Trim: Put your cursor to the start or end point of a clip on timeline until it changes to trimmer. Drag the trimmer and you can trim off unwanted starting or ending.
5. Cut: Drag the pointer to the right place; Put your cursor to process bar under preview window and select the right frame; Click the Scissors button and you can cut the clip. And then you can rearrange order or delete.
6. Delete: Highlight the unwanted clip on timeline, and click Delete button. You can also delete it with right-click menu.
7. Rearrange order: Drag and hold a clip to the right place until the place line shows. Drop the clip and it will be placed right there.
8. Merge & join: All files placed on timeline will be output as one file. So if you want to merge and join several clips, just drag them to timeline in right order.
On the preview window, you can use Frame Selection Controller to seek to the corresponding frame of the current image, or seek the previous frame/next frame, which helps to locate frames accurately.
In general, Pavtube Media Magician for Mac offers an easy introduction to video editing with support for color adjustment, themes, easy to use effects, a simplistic timeline view and built-in camcorder wizard for AVCHD ingesting. It will leave you hungry for more if you're more used to work with iMovie (like me) or after a powerful video editing solution, but thanks god this smart app even exports intermediate codecs! I really like that I can export MOV in Apple Intermediate codec that is natively supported by iMovie ЁCthis avoid rendering and lags in video editing. Also, professionals can export ProRes and DNxHD for further post-production in FCP, Avid, Adobe AE, etc. |

Importing and Interpreting Canon C300 .MXF to After Effects CS6/CS5.5/CS5/CS4 |
Importing and Interpreting Canon C300 .MXF to After Effects CS6/CS5.5/CS5/CS4
"I'm having trouble getting footage form a Canon C300 to play correctly in AE CS6. It was shot at 1080i/25. The footage jitters on pans as if it were shot at 24p and there is a lot of moirЁ¦ on diagonal edges of objects."
"Need help. I shot a project with the Canon C300 in 24p mode. I uploaded the files on my hard drive, but when I drag a clip to After Effects CS4 the audio is out of sync with the footage. Please help is there any way to fix?"
Does the Adobe After Effects CS6/CS5.5/CS5/CS4 support Canon MXF footage?
Much to the disappointment of filmmakers that are not familiar with the .mxf format, the footage created with Canon C300 could neither be imported to Final Cut Pro, nor the latest Adobe Premiere Pro/ After Effect CS6. If you're stuck with editing Canon C300 footage After Effects CS4/CS5/CS6, the professional and powerful MXF to After Effects Converter for Mac may help. The solution is simple - just convert Canon C300 .mxf to .avi or .mov or other formats that After Effect can handle well. Below is a quick guide of converting C300 .mxf to .mov for editing in AE CS6/CS5.5/CS5/CS4.
Before processing:
1. Back up/Transfer the C300 footage to Mac computer - copy the whole XF video folder to your computer hard drive, not just the individual .mxf files.
2. Install Pavtube MXF Converter for Mac ($29). Click here to download a free trial for test.
Step-by-step Guide: Convert Canon C300 .mxf to AE CS6/CS5.5/CS5/CS4 supported format with best possible quality
Note: this is a Mac oriented solution. For Windows users the Pavtube Studio offers alternative MXF Converter for PC, which is very similar to the Mac MXF Converter.
Step 1. Launch the Mac MXF to After Effect Converter. Click "Add Video" and browse to a Canon .mxf clip and the software will add it to file list. Repeat the operation to load multiple mxf videos. Or you may click the "Add Folder" button to import all the .mxf files in the XF file structure.
Step 2. Click on "Format" and choose "Common Video > MOV ЁC QuickTime (*.mov)" format as the best codec for editing Canon C300 MXF in Adobe After Effect CS6/CS5.5/CS5/CS4.
Tip: QuickTime MOV format is recommended simply because it also work with Final Cut Pro, iTunes, QuickTime Player and iOS devices (iPad/iPhone). You may also use AVI, MP4, MPG, TS or any other format that AE supports.
Step 3. Click on "Settings" to redefine output quality. You can also set a different video resolution (1920x1080/1440x1080/1280x720/720x480), frame rate (24p/30p), bitrate, audio channels, etc. For users who would like to retain exactly the same settings (without any quality loss), set target settings the same to source video.
Step 4. Click "Convert" to start transcode Canon C300 MXF to MOV for After Effect CS4/CS5/CS6 editing on Mac.
After conversion click "Open" to find .mov videos and import converted .mov files to Adobe After Effect CS6/CS5.5/CS5/CS4 for editing.
This Mac MXF Converter also includes Apple ProRes 422 codec for filmmakers to convert C300 MXF to FCP and Avid DNxHD MOV codec for encoding MXF to Avid Media Composer. Priced at $29, it is a good buy.
For those who also edit videos from AVCHD cams and various other sources, I recommend the iMedia Converter (20% Off from Oct. 26 to Nov. 6), which converts not only MXF, but also clips frames from DVDs and even Blu-ray Disc movies.
Another Worth-buying Special Offer from Pavtube Halloween Sale is 50% OFF DVD Creator for Mac, which is a decent alternative to iDVD. |

DVD to Final Cut Pro-Import DVD to Final Cut Pro with DVD to FCP Converter
"I have a project in development with the BBC here in London. I have been given 4 DVD's of film clips to compile from their archives on DVD discs.
I used the free version of your software to test run one of the DVD's and it worked fine.
