Work Panasonic MTS with FCP 6 in Higher Quality

MTS to FCP 6 Workflow from Panasonic Lumix FZ20 

Panasonic Lumix FZ200—is the Panasonic's flagship super-zoom digital camera. While recent models have been relatively minor upgrades. In terms of video, the Panasonic FZ200 can shoot up to 1080 60p video in AVCHD or MP4 formats. AVCHD formatted shooting, due to its big file size, often falls in several separated .MTS video clips. In that way, you may have some trouble for further editing in some popular tools, such like FCP. So do you know any details on best video formats for FCP

 

Just as a friend reflected us that he has converted the Panasonic Lumix FZ200 MTS files to ProRes .mov, which is the best format for FCP with MTS/M2TS to FCP 6 Video Converter for Mac. He said it was so nice that he has never met before. It at present works so well and know he asked: I installed it on my Mac IOS 10.7.5, so do I need to buy it again if I wanna install it on another Mac 10.6.8? 

Now, we are willing to share the specific process with you guys. Download the program from the official website and launch it with ‘Add videos' or ‘Add from folder'. Your files will be listed there and tick what you want. 

Necessary Tips here: To get high quality of output videos for editing in FCP 6, you need to choose the correct selections in the types of ProRes codec. Here we may recommend the ‘Final Cut Pro'>>'Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) (*.mov)' for you. 

 

To customize MOV format for your player, you can click "Settings" button to adjust video and audio parameters. Get the videos size as 1080*720 and bitrates as ‘high quality', frame rate as 29.97, etc. Just select one you think as the most suitable to your formats. 

 

Answers to the questions mentioned above: If you have bought the program, there's no need to purchase it again. You can move it to another PC and remember that you must clean your date. In other words, you can't work the program at the same time. 

After finishing the preparation work, just click the ‘Convert' to start your work. Here we can also offer you the steps of transferring files in FCP 6

MXF Not Friendly with Premiere Pro CC? How to Solve it?

Transcode MXF for Editing in premiere Pro CC 

Summary: It is common if you find your MXF files cannot be imported in Premiere Pro CC, this paper can tell you why and how. 

'I am relatively new to Premiere from FCP and I've been cutting with it for a few months. I started out with CS6 because I had Snow Leopard. Just recently upgraded to Mavericks and then was able to download Premiere Pro CC. I have a project that I started in CS6 and am now having trouble with it in CC. All my MXF clips are messed up and all playback shows a white screen. How did it happen?’ 

Although Adobe PP CC offers much better native MXF support than its predecessor, Avid capture MXF files, P2 MXF in P2 card PROXY, etc MXF footages still can’t be supported by Premiere Pro CC. Searched online, you will find some similar questions. But for a first step, you should know more about the best supported video formats for Adobe Premiere Pro CC 

 

If you want to import and edit MXF files in Premiere Pro CC in a flawless way, the reliable workaround I've found so far is to transcode MXF to MPEG-2 or WMV, the most edit-friendly format for Adobe(any version). So a professional MXF to Premiere converter is necessary. Why not take the Pavtube iMixMXF for a try? Only works with MXF files, you can enjoy a lot with its good reputation.

Drop down the output list, for suitable output ones, let’s find the item 'Adobe Premiere Pro/Sony Vegas’>>’MPEG-2(*.mpg)'as the best one. 

 

Tip: In case the default settings do not fit your requirement, you can click 'Settings' button and enter 'Profile Settings' panel to adjust video size, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate and audio channels. 

 

Go back to the main interface and hit the 'Convert'to finish the preparation work. After that, you just need to transfer your files to Adobe PP as usual, we can enjoy editing the files nicely.
