Summary: If you want to make a short film from Canon XA30/XA35 AVCHD footage with Adobe After Effects CC and prefer fluent playback, you’d better to do some work in advance. Here is an easy way to solve this problem.

Canon has announced a pair of new digital video cameras that are aimed directly at professional videographers called the XA35 and XA30. Both of the cameras use the new HD CMOS PROSensor. That new sensor makes both cameras portable and capable of capturing high-quality video in low light usage scenarios. Like the previous models, they record AVCHD or MPEG4 format video at resolutions up to 1080p and at frame rates of 24, 30, or 60 (23.98, 29.97, 59.94) fps.

Although Adobe announced that After Effects natively supports AVCHD importing, when users want to edit Canon XA35/XA30 Full HD AVHCD/MP4 Videos in After Effects CC, they still get stuck in importing Canon AVCHD/MP4 footage to AE. As MP4 encoded AVCHD video is highly compressed, good for transporting, but poor for editing. By the way, in order to play AVCHD videos on PC or mac smoothly, your processor must be very powerful. In a word, if you want to make a short film from AVCCHD footage with Adobe After Effects CC and prefer fluent playback, you’d better to do some work in advance. Here is an easy way to solve this problem.

With all of the surrounding of 3D technology and production in the last few years, more and more TVs can support stereoscopic 3D. Samsung 3D Smart TV, Sony 3D LED TV, LG 3D TV and so on are impossible to play Sony Handycam 3D MTS files directly because of the format limitation.

Did you shoot many Christmas videos with Canon/Panasonic/Sony cameras? Do you have problems putting these MTS/MXF/MOV/XAVC/MP4 video on Surface (Pro) 2 for playback? Why can’t we share Canon/Panasonic videos to Surface (Pro) 2 directly?

According to the official data from Microsoft, Surface (Pro) 2 support videos in MP4/DivX/XviD/WMV/H.264/H.263 natively. Obviously, most Canon/Panasonic/Sony footages in MTS/MXF/MOV/XAVC and some MP4 files encoded with special codec are not Surface (Pro) 2 friendly. If you want to transfer MTS/MXF/MOV/XAVC files to Surface (Pro) 2, the best way is to convert them to H.264 MP4 as the best video format and codec for Surface (Pro) 2 for playback.

In this article, we will introduce how to convert Canon/Panasonic/Sony MTS/MXF/MOV/XAVC files to Surface (Pro) 2.

Recommended tool:

Most of you may choose to record videos in interlaced (like 1080/60i, 1080/50i); videos playback in camera are flawless. But if you transfer to other device like computer or a full-size tablet, the small waves inside this interlaced video would be enlarged and finally affect the video playback.

Merge/Join Hard Drive Camera M2TS recordings without losing details on Mac

Admin — Mon, 18 Nov 2013 03:30:33 +0000

Summary: In this guide, you will learn how to lossless combine and join Hard Drive Camera M2TS recordings with no conversion on Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

OK, I have a hard drive camera this year. I’m trying to take multiple files and convert them to one? Here is a sample of the file I attached. I shot this in the hallway but will be filming Basketball games and it’s going to have multiple files. Does anyone know of a way to join multiple .M2TS files – without having to re-encode the video? Thanks in advance. Below is a screenshot of my video files.

P.S. The hard drive camera is used for filming basketball games. I am a high school basketball coach. My software that I use needs the game film in DV format. My old camera was a mini DVD camera and it was simple to use that pavtube to convert to DV format. This new hard drive camera is recorded on a sd 64 GB card and is played back on to my hard drive. For some reason everytime you hit start and stop on record it makes that segment into a file. Since games are constantly stop and start I have over 80 clips that need to merge into one file for DV format.

There are some MTS converters that can convert my m2ts media from hard drive camera in mp4 file as I read, but it will definitely lose a lot of details doing it and it usually takes a long time encoding the H.264 contents. Also, it can’t join my m2ts files together.

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. Using the software, you can join m2ts/mts clips into one without encoding. Not only the processing time is greatly shortened, but also you get the original HD quality. I have used Pavtube products for about 6 years now. And I have already purchased this program for a PC and a Mac. I was surprised by its amazing speed and high qualtiy video output. Below is a guide I share for your reference.
