We all know that the recordings’ format of Canon LEGRIA HF G25 is the AVCHD which delivers stunning picture quality. Vixia camcorders recorded video format is AVCHD MTS, and this format is also used in Canon XA10 and other popular high-end camcorders. However, if you want to deinterlace and edit Canon LEGRIA HF G25 MTS 1080i in iMovie 9 or FCE 4, you will meet some problems. MTS format is not easy to use as it’s not well supported by many editing software, especially on Mac. Currently neither iMovie 9 nor FCE 4 supports the original MTS footages from HF G25, that’s why you cannot import Canon AVCHD MTS files to FCE/iMovie.

The common practice for MTS workflow with FCE/iMovie is, get a Mac AVCHD Converter for iMovie/FCE and transcode Canon LEGRIA HF G25 MTS footage to AIC(Apple Intermediate Codec), the well-acknowledged optimal editing format for iMovie 9 and FCE 4. By converting .MTS files to Apple Intermediate Codec(AIC)(*.mov) you save both time and trouble, as AIC video will be processed by FCE4 and iMovie naturally without rendering, and all you need is drag and drop the result video for prompt editing.

Here we recommend you to choose a top Pavtube MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac to transfer these AVCHD recordings for iMovie 9 or FCE 4 editing.

First, Free Download the Mac Canon MTS Converter for iMovie/FCE. This software can convert Canon LEGRIA HF G25 MTS video to iMovie, FCE compatible formats or other common formats.

Step 1. Install and Run the professional Mac Canon AVCHD to MOV Converter, add .mts files into it from Canon HF G25. If you want to batch convert MTS clips, please check “Merge into one”.

Step 2. Click “Format” column to choose the output format for iMovie. Click and choose “iMovie and Final Cut Express -> Apple InterMediate Codec (AIC) (*.mov)“, it’s the best format for iMovie – to import Canon LEGRIA HF G25 MTS to iMovie or FCE.

Step 3. If you want to change the video/audio settings to get a file as you want, you can tick “Settings” to freely selecting or editing. Here I advice you to set your video size as 1920*1080 and fame rate as 25fps if your resource file is 1080 50i/25p.

Step 4. Click “Convert” button to start transcoding Canon LEGRIA HF G25 AVCHD MTS to AIC MOV. Once finished, click “Open” button to get the generated AIC MOV files for using in iMovie 9 or FCE 4 without any rendering or compatibility issue.

So the first problem you have to solve is to deinterlace/transcode Canon LEGRIA HF G25 AVCHD to AIC the most compatible codec which is specially designed for editing in iMovie 9 or FCE 4.

Canon camcorders are very excellent in the multimedia market, Canon has released so many camcorder product lines, Vixia series is one of the most successful products.

Canon Vixia camcorders include Vixia HF M300, HF M500, HF S10, HF S100, HF G10, etc.

Adobe to phase out boxed copies of Creative Suite software

Even as Adobe is pushing its Creative Cloud service in India, it has been revealed that the company is all set to phase out physical, boxed versions of its Creative Suite and Acrobat Software in favour of digital copies of the same.

Adobe confirmed that physical copies of the Creative Suite will indeed be disappearing from stores soon. “As Adobe continues to focus on delivering world-class innovation through Creative Cloud and digital fulfillment, we will be phasing out shrink-wrapped, boxed versions of Creative Suite and Acrobat products,” the company said. “Electronic downloads for Creative Suite and Acrobat products will continue to be available – as they are today – from both Adobe.com, as well as reseller and retail partners. We are in the process of notifying our channel partners and customers, as plans solidify in each region.”


Goodbye, Adobe Boxes

Rumours suggest that it could be as early as May 1 this year that the company will be pulling out physical copies of its software, but Adobe has not confirmed this. The maker of vital publishing software such as Photoshop and InDesign will be adopting the digital model of distribution completely. Whispers about Adobe’s digital move began earlier this month with the company’s resellers Toolfarm and Softwaremedia blogging that they will not be selling boxed Adobe sets post May 1, 2013.

With affordable Internet connections becoming more and more accessible, it seems like a smart although surprising move on Adobe’s part to shift completely to digital downloads. The move will also help curb piracy of Adobe’s software to a certain extent.

One trigger to move to the digtal mode of distribution could be the recent Australian Adobe debacle where it was revealed that buying the company’s software was a highly expensive affair. According to reports, it was cheaper to buy a round trip to the U.S. from Australia to purchase a copy of Adobe’s software than to purchase them locally.

In India, Adobe has only just announced the availability of its Creative Cloud service for as little as Rs 2885 a month. Getting a membership to the Creative Cloud service will give you access to download and install all Creative Suite desktop applications, Photoshop, Lightroom, Adobe Muse, Adobe Edge tools and services along with game developer tools and integration with Photoshop Touch apps.

Creative Cloud members will get access to Adobe’s latest products, services, features and workflows as soon as they are available and will no longer have to wait months for the latest Adobe tools, the company said. This model will enable members to automatically receive updates as and when they become available in the release cycle.

Great move, Adobe, but we will miss the novelty of purchasing those large, colourful Creative Suite boxes.
