Categories:

Avid Media Composer

by

In 2012, the Sony F65 grabbed attention with higher resolution than any previous digital motion picture camera. Plus extremely low noise, even in the blacks. Plus a wider color gamut than print film. Plus 16-bit linear RAW and 10-bit SR File recording. No wonder the F65 was quickly chosen for productions of every type. Now with Version 2.0, 2.2, and 3.0 refinements, the F65 does even more, including High Frame Rate RAW at up to 120p with no windowing. And 12-bit HD recording with 4:4:4 color. This camcorder from Sony are really strong in video quality and hd resolution.

However, while the Sony F65 provide high quality videos, the MXF files it outputs become larger and larger; hence it’s not easy for people to edit Sony F65 MXF in Avid Media Composer on Mac.

To ingest Sony F65 MXF to Avid Media Composer on Mac, you will need to transform MXF to Avid Media Composer preferred video format – Avid DNxHD files in mov suffix.

Here we would like to introduce an all-in-one Mac MXF Converter – a professional Pavtube Mac MXF to Avid Converter, it’s not only able to convert Sony PMW F65 MXF to Avid DNxHD MOV for Avid Media Composer, but also can convert various MXF files from different camcorder to suitable format for FCP (X), iMovie, Adobe Premiere Pro, Android/Apple iOS/Windows 8 portable devices and so on.

FYI:

1. It also provides try-before-purchase service, click here to download a free trial version;
2. Please choose to download dmg package if you are running mac 10.5 or 10.6;
3. A windows version is available for windows users: MXF to Avid Converter.

Now get your program installed and let’s begin!

How to Convert Sony F65 MXF to Avid DNxHD MOV on Mac?

Step 1. Install and launch the Mac MXF to Avid Converter, click ‘add videos’ to load individual videos, or click ‘add from folder’ to load the entire folder.

Step 2. Click “Format” and choose Avid Media Composer -> Avid DNxHD (*.mov) as the best output format for editing video files in Avid MC.

Optional: You can also click “Settings” – which is marked as step 3 in screenshot – to set up frame rate, video quality, bitrate and check the generated file size.

Step 3. Click “Convert” and let it go! It will help to shut down computer if you have many videos to convert.

3..2..1..bingo! Ok now you can click “Open” to locate your converted MXF videos and load it to Avid Media Composer.

Why We Need to Save or Import Sony Cyber-shot Videos onto Windows or Mac?

Cyber-shot is the Sony‘s line of point-and-shoot digital cameras introduced in 1996. Cyber-shot model names use a DSC prefix, which is an initialism for “Digital Still Camera”. And nowadays, more and more people tend to capture their happiest and sweetest moments with Sony Cyber-shot digital cameras. We may shoot lots of smooth and sharp HD (high definition) footages during travelling or family time, and we usually expect to save those great movies to our computer rather than locking them in our camera, then transcode AVCHD MTS to any video formats and edit in video editing programs on Windows like Avid, Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas, or on Mac like FCP, FCE, iMove, CyberLink PowerDirector, etc. After reading the below article, you may get a clear instruction about how to get Sony AVCHD videos on Windows or Mac for video editing later.

Import Panasonic Lumix DMC Series AVCHD Lite MTS to FCP 6/7 without rendering

Categories:

Final Cut Pro

by

Lumix is Panasonic‘s brand of digital cameras, ranging from pocket point-and-shoot models to digital SLRs. They are equipped with Leica lenses. And in 2009, Panasonic introduced AVCHD Lite and AVCHD to selected members of its Lumix line of digital cameras.

AVCHD Lite identifies a subset of AVCHD format, in which progressive-scan video is acquired at 30 frames/s with 720-line resolution. Such a video is recorded in the AVCHD 720p 60 stream by using a flag telling a decoder to play each frame twice. Announced in January 2009, the Panasonic DMC-ZS3/DMC-FT1/DMC-TZ7 digital cameras were the first digital cameras to offer AVCHD-lite movie mode. Since then, Panasonic has added AVCHD-lite to more of its digital cameras, the most typical models is the Lumix DMC series.

However, many video editing software on Mac like iMovie 8/9/11, Final Cut Pro 6/7, FCP X, Avid, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, etc. can’t perfectly import AVCHD/AVCHD Lite .mts files from Panasonic Lumix Series directly. For Example:

“I have Panasonic DMC-ZS7 camera and want to convert AVCHD video to ProRes or more common formats for editing on FCP 7 without rendering. What program do you recommend for this task? Looking for easiest to operate and cheapest. There are many programs on the internet. Thanks.”

To import Panasonic Lumix AVCHD Lite MTS files to FCP 6/7 or FCP X for editing without rendering, you will want to try this Pavtube iMedia Converter for Mac (now are on 30% off, you can save $20) – a powerful and professional Panasonic AVCHD Lite MTS Converter for MAC, which is recommended converting software for MTS footage. With intuitive interface, you can easily and fast convert Panasonic Lumix DMC AVCHD Lite MTS files to Apple ProRes codec using the professional lumix to Apple ProRes Converter. And the latest Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 is supported, just feel free to try it!

How to import Panasonic Lumix DMC series AVCHD Lite MTS files to FCP 6/7 without rendering on Mac Mountain Lion

Step 1. Connect your Panasonic Lumix DMC Camcorder to Mac with USB cable or use card reader to transfer the MTS files to Apple hard drive disk.

Step 2. Run Panasonic AVCHD Lite MTS Converter for Mac, and click the “Add Files” button to load mts videos.

Step 3. Choose MOV with Apple ProRes 422 codec for Final Cut Pro 6/7/X.
Click the “Profile” option, and move mouse cursor to “Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422 HQ (*.mov)” as output format. To get 1080 videos, we need to click the “Settings” button and choose 1920*1080 as output video resolution.

Step 4. Specify output file path. Click on “Browse” and browse to where you’d like to save target Apple ProRes 422 HQ video. Now click the big “Convert” button. You don’t have to wait aside for that it provides a function to shut down computer for you.

Step 5. Press “Open” to locate result video. Launch FCP 6/7/X, and go to “File > Import > Files…” to import converted MTS videos to FCP project.

MTS files bite up storage. If you have lots of AVCHD Lite MTS video stored on Mac HDD and are now ending up with plenty of long files with only a few short gems, it is recommended that you use this MTS Converter program which works like a charm.

1. Now the windows version is available here: Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate(now are on 30% off).

Panasonic launches $500 Lumix DMC-LF1 enthusiast compact with WiFi, NFC

Categories:

News

by


Panasonic‘s just unveiled the 12-megapixel Lumix DMC-LF1 compact for fans of high-end compacts like Canon‘s S110 who may not want to snap with a smartphone camera. But the social set will still be able to share images to their handset or tablet thanks to the LF1’s built-in WiFi with NFC pairing and included app. Meanwhile, most cellphones definitely can’t compete with the 1/1.7-inch, 12-megapixel CMOS sensor and 28-200mm equivalent f2.0-5.9 Leica zoom lens. Other specs include 1,920/60i video with AVCHD and MP4 recording, POWER O.I.S image stabilization, a 200K EVF, a variety of shooting modes like panorama, and full manual control. There’s no set arrival date, but it’ll run a hefty $500 or so –perhaps a hard sell against certain photo-clever handsets.

How to import and edit BlackMagic Intensity Pro ProRes 1080p recordings in Adobe Premiere Pro

Categories:

Adobe Premiere

by

Blackmagic’s Intensity Pro is a PCI Express card which allows you to capture footage from an unprotected HDMI source, along with analogue Composite, S-Video and Component footage. Believe it or not, capturing via HDMI could deliver superior quality from certain HD camcorders than a traditional Firewire link, and doing so with the Intensity can also deliver files which are quicker and easier to edit too. However, users may meet some issues when they use the tool, now, just take a look at the question of somebody:

“I’m getting the BlackMagic Design Intensity Pro (Mac OS 10.6.6) to capture in 720 59.96 ProRes 422, which work great on my Mac Lion with FCP 7 setup. The issue I’ve been running into lately is I need to collaborate with other studios that are using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. The issue I need to create some premiere project on my Windows 7 pc while Premiere Pro doesn’t/ can’t import ProRes 422 files (.mov files). Is there any plugin or solution that I can get Black Magic Intensity Pro ProRes files compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro?”

ProRes in a MOV file format from Black Magic Intensity Pro is beyond the capability of Adobe Premiere. To solve the problem, you need to convert BlackMagic Design Intensity Pro ProRes files to Premiere Pro supported format and codec. Follow the tutorial below to get Intensity Pro recorded ProRes files into Premiere Pro for editing.

Required tool:

Pavtube ProRes Video Converter for Mac – A professional ProRes to Premiere Pro Converter

                   

The Mac ProRes to Premiere Pro Converter provides customers with several simple editing functions, including cropping, trimming, deinterlacing, watermarking, adding special effects, and audio replacing, which help you do a fast and necessary editing on your footage before importing them to Premiere Pro. It also supports versatile output options for iPad, Android tablets and mainstream editing software: like How to import BlackMagic Intensity Pro recordings to Avid)

How to Convert BlackMagic Intensity Pro ProRes files to MPEG for Premiere Pro

Step 1. Run the Pavtube ProRes Converter for Mac as the perfect Mac ProRes to MPEG Converter, and load your BlackMagic Intensity Pro ProRes footage to this Mac app.

Step 2. Click on “Format” bar and select output format from drop-down list. Premiere Pro prefers AVI or MPEG format for editing. Here I suggest you follow “Adobe Premiere Pro/Sony Vegas” to select “MPEG-2 (*.mpg)” or “WMV (VC-1) (*.wmv)” format. You can also choose “Format -> HD Video -> MPEG-2 HD Video(*.mpg)” as out format for Premiere Pro.

Step 3. You can control output video quality by setting resolution, bitrate and frame rate in “Settings”. For preserving 5.1 channels surround sound, set audio channels to “5.1 channels” instead of Stereo. To keep 1080p full HD high quality, you can set video bitrate up and Size to 1920×1080.

For MPEG-2 (*.mpg) profile settings:

For MPEG-2 HD Video(*.mpg) profile settings

Step 4. Click on the “Convert” button to start convert BlackMagic Intensity Pro ProRes to MPEG/WMV for Premiere Pro editing. By ticking off the checkbox before “Merge into one file” option, you can combine all the checked videos into one file.

When conversion is completed, you can click “Open” to get the Premiere Pro MPEG files from its default output folder.

Now open up Adobe Premiere Pro and you’re ready to import Black Magic Intensity Pro recordings to Premiere Pro CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6 for post-production~

Canon has announced the word’s smallest and lightest DSLR*, the EOS Digital Rebel SL1. 25 percent smaller and 28 percent lighter than the EOS Rebel T4i, the SL1 boasts many of the same features from the T4i (and the new T5i) save for slower speed capabilities and no vari-angle LCD display.

The world’s smallest and lightest DSLR with an APS-C sized image sensor
as of March 1, 2013

The SL1 compact DSLR includes an 18-megapixel APS-C sized image sensor, the DIGIC 5 image processor, an ISO range up to 6400, four frames-per-second continuous shooting, a 3.0-inch Touch Screen (fixed), and it works well with Canon’s STM lenses (one comes in the standard kit) for virtually silent, continuous Auto or Manual Focus during Full 1080p HD video recording.

For novices worried about making the jump from a point-and-shoot digicam to a DSLR, the SL1 offers Scene Intelligent Auto Mode, “an advanced function that detects faces, colors, brightness, movement, contrast, distance and other factors and automatically adjusts and selects the exposure method needed.” Effect Shot Mode is another great feature, which adds a Creative Filter to stills, but captures two separate images (one stylized, one clean) to provide users with after-the-fact flexibility.

A few new Scene Modes on this camera, including Kids, Food, and Candlelight, round out the creative effects, while Background Blur Simulation will make any photo and any lens look like an extreme telephoto shot. All filters and modes and auto focus settings can be adjusted on the fly in Live View via the touch screen LCD display.
