Q1. “How to ingest and convert P2 footage on pc with powerdirector 9?

Hello, I am trying to edit a movie that was filmed a little bit ago. : It was filmed on a panasonic p2 camera which has mxf file extensions. That was dumped onto an external hard drive which is accessible on both pc and mac(exFAT) so I can see the 50gb. On Final Cut Pro I would do a”log and transfer” and click on the particular p2 folder.

How would something like this work in powerdirector 9? Is there a third party plug-in or something that would allow PD9 to read it like this. I saw that it will read rw2, but this isn’t the format.  Moreover, it just has a lot of folders that some how that “log and transfer” deal puts them together for the actual footage.”

Your help is appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

Q2. “I get a Canon XF305 camcorder and recorded some video clips, when I try to import the files to Cyberlink PowerDirector to edit, I find the files could not be recognized, so what is the problem and how can I solve it? Thanks”

Nano Flash Workflow-How to Import nanoFlash MXF to Avid Media Composer on Mac

Categories:

Avid Media Composer

by

“I have MC 5.01 seeing mxf files created with my Nanoflash in AMA mode, but upon trying to export via Avid Codec, Avid advises it cannot export Long-GOP without transcoding first. Yet, the files were created in I-frame mode with Nanoflash. I am updating now to 5.03, but does someone know why Avid thinks this stuff is long gop? The big reason for me buying nanoflash was to use mxf with Avid in a way that would avoid that transcoding issue, as that is a major downside to the AF100 avc workflow for me.”

nanoFlash is the world’s smallest, lightest, lowest-power, professional HD/SD recorder/player. The nanoFlash from Convergent Design represents a huge leap forward in tapeless workflows. Easily mounted to your camera, nanoFlash is designed to record higher quality images than the camera itself, by capturing never-compressed video/audio from the HD-SDI or HDMI output. nanoFlash utilizes the very high-quality Sony XDCAM 422 CODEC, recording the video/audio onto affordable and readily available Compact Flash Media, at up to 160Mbps (Long-GOP) or 220 Mbps (I-Frame). The footage can be stored in either Quicktime (MOV), MXF, or MPG file formats, providing near-universal NLE support as well as DVD / Blu-Ray authoring formats.

MXF format is great for record high-definition videos, it can keep the high quality. But, MXF format video is not easy to use because many editing software doesn’t support this format, like Avid Media Composer on Mac.

Part One: Import nanoFlash MXF to Avid Media Composer with download Avid AMA MXF plugin

You will need to be running Avid Media Composer 3.1.1 or better to take advantage of Nano Flash recordings. Ideally you should be running Media Composer 5.0.3.2 or later which is when AMA file link support was introduced (no SD file support with AMA linking). Some pointers to follow

– With Media Composer 3.1.1 you can only import files.

– When using Media Composer you should record i-frame only MXF Files on the Nano Flash.

– MC also supports Long-GOP 50 Mbit but this is more taxing on the system so best avoided.

– 720p 24/25/30 frame rates are supported but only up to 50 Mbps rate.

As with Avid Media Composer can playback (decode) files up to 280Mbps but will render any effects work down to 50Mbps. With the introduction of Avid Media Composer 5.5 you will need to download the Avid AMA MXF plugin from the address below: http://www.avid.com/US/products/Avid-Media-Access/plug-ins

Learn More: http://www.root6.com/blog/index.php/2011/07/nano-flash-workflow-guide/

Part Two: How to convert nanoFlash MXF to Avid Media Composer suitable format?

If you use nanoFlash with your camcorder, you can export QuickTime files or MXF files to a flash card. It is great for camcorders without too much space for storage. However, you may sometimes face the problem that Avid Media Composer does not recognize the MXF files you get. How would you import the nanoFlash MXF to Avid Media Composer then?

MXF Converter for Mac is the recommended nanoFlash MXF to Avid Converter, which supports converting nanoFlash .mxf to DNxHD MOV or QuickTime MOV for Avid Media Composer. This Mac nanoFlash MXF to Avid converter also helps you easier merge, join and convert recording MXF with perfect synchronization. Here is the step-by-step guide for converting nanoFlash MXF to MOV for Avid Media Composer.

                    

1. Install and run MXF to MOV Converter for Mac. Click “Finish” when the installation is complete, and Pavtube MXF to MOV Converter for Mac will launch automatically.

2. Click “Add” to load nanoFlash MXF video files or directly drag the files into file list. By default, the files are selected. If you would like to join all the selected files together, check the box of Merge into one. You could view the files in preview window, simply highlight the file and click play button.

3. Click “Format” bar to determine output format. The program offers particular output formats for Avid. Just click the format bar and choose “Avid Media Composer -> Avid DNxHD (*.mov)”.

4. You can click “Settings” if you’d like to customize advanced audio and video parameters like video Codec, aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, Audio codec, sampling rate, bit rate, channels. Do not forget to click “OK” to confirm your settings. Then type in a desired output location in the “Output” box.

5. Click “Convert” to start to convert nanoFlash MXF to MOV video for editing on Avid Media Composer. You can set auto shutdown in progress window or leave it there and come back later.

After the conversion is finished, just run Avid MC and import the .mov files for editing. You will find the output video work perfectly on Avid Media Composer.

You can use Pavtube DVD Creator for Mac to burn MXF files to DVD on Mac easily, you can get 50% off.

PS: If you are using Adobe Premiere Pro as your preferred Non-leaner editing tool, you can also use the converter to export Adobe Premiere compatible .wmv, .mov files.

Share a camera user experience: How to convert avchd to different codec for editing, playing, uploading, etc

Categories:

Review

by

The following article is a camera user experience sharing:

The original from http://xa10forums.com/pc-editing-and-workflows/how-to-convert-your-camera-files-into-different-codec-to-edit-or-play/msg3023/#msg3023

“I am posting this new info here, from another post I made.

Many of you have problem editing this AVCHD codec straight out of your camera. It’s a very difficult codec for the computer to edit and it will JITTER and SPUTTER during the timeline play. Unless you have a super fast computer and editor, this is a problem for most of the people with older systems. So, convert the AVCHD codec into something a bit friendly and your editing will be much better.

There are so many converters and no one has the time to play around with hundreds of them and find the best software for lower cost.

Buy a video converter software and it will convert your AVCHD footage to any format; IE: youtube, vimeo, any iPhones, etc.

All of them works well and some PRIMITIVE editing you can do with either one of them. You can also JOIN the clips together as well in its editor. Your files comes in 2Gb segments and if you drop it in sequence it will be joined.

A) http://www.pavtube.com/hd-video-converter/ (my favorite one and I purchased it)

B) http://www.wondershare.com/pro/dvd-converter.html

If you just wish to convert AVCHD to popular editors and to files, check this one out… A,B links do the same but this one is much nicer for this specific purpose.

C) http://www.pavtube.com/convert-mts-avchd-files.html

A note to all members who are interested to convert the hard-to-edit camera footage (AVCHD) to something a bit more friendly to use the above suggested software. There are a thousands of free software similar to that, but I have personally checked out these and looks OK for a playback on your TV or burn a DVD without hassle as in some of the editor. Just drop the file in it and select whatever format you wish. There is more to this, if you have more questions, please ask.

Download a FREE to try from the above links and play around with it. There is a mark on the output video until you buy it.

Question: How to import p2 .mxf files from Panasonic AG-HPX371E to FCP 6 for editing?

I filmed with two Panasonic AG-HPX371E camera’s movies earlier this week. Everything was filmed on P2 cards in 1080-50i (AVC I 50/50i). The program itself was a single shot of just over 65 minutes. On the P2 card it was broke down in separate files, six files of 10 minutes and 9 seconds (4,27 Gb) and one file with the final couple of minutes (about 1 Gb). How can import these files into FCP 6 for editing?

Answer: Transcode Panasonic AG-HPX371E P2 MXF to FCP 6 compatible codec.

I know Apple ProRes is the best codec for FCP, so you need to convert your Panasonic AG-HPX371E .mxf files for working in Final Cut Pro. I just find a program called Pavtube MXF Converter for Mac to convert your Panasonic AG-HPX371E P2 MXF files to Apple ProRes 422 format. Brilliant! You can give a try.

After conversion, once the format conversion is done, open up Final Cut Pro, choose “File > Import > Files…” to select and load the generated ProRes 422 MOV files to FCP for editing use.

Of course, if you want to import MXF Footage to Final Cut Pro directly from a P2 card, using a P2 card reader, the PCMCIA CardBus slot in your laptop, or the HVX200 camera itself. You can also import footage from a P2 card image that was offloaded to a hard drive. Final Cut Pro sees the P2 card as a volume and also sees the path to the card. The process for importing P2 clips is similar to standard importing, with some important differences. For example, importing P2 footage actually copies the media from the P2 card into your Capture Scratch folder and places a QuickTime wrapper around it to edit in Final Cut Pro. The following article link detailed shows how it works: http://www.pavtube.com/guide/importing-p2-footage-into-fcp-from-p2-card.html

Notes:

1. When converting MXF footage using Final Cut Pro oriented format templates(e.g. Apple ProRes), please ensure that your computer has Final Cut Pro installed, otherwise the converted files will have audio only without image.

2. If you are using FCP X, please make sure you have installed ProApps QuickTime Codecs, or you may get files with sound only without video. The FCP X does not install the ProApps QuickTime Codecs automatically, so you need download and install the codec manually from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1396.

How to direct import media files to Avid Media Composer on Mac?

Categories:

Avid Media Composer

by

You can import media into your Media Composer so that you can work with images, video or audio clips stored on your computer. When you import any media clip into Media Composer, a new file is created in a folder called the Avid Media File, which is the Managed Media Files folder. This file will be according to the Media Creation settings you specify, and even if your original file gets deleted, you still have the imported copy in the Managed Media Files folder. Let’s see how the import is done:

Step 1: Specify the Drive with the Media Creation Setting

Click on the Tools tab in the main menu on the top of your screen and choose Media Creation. Alternatively, you can pres Ctrl+5. This will open the Media Creation window, where you can choose the drive where you want to create the files which you are going to import. Click OK.

Step 2: Go to Project Window

Click on the Format tab in your project window and under Project Type, select the quality you want for your imported files. The highest quality possible is 1080p/23.976. This will again depend whether you are importing a video, audio or HD file.  

Step 3: Highlight and Right Click Import Bin

When you are working in Media Composer, you will have the Import bin window just below the Clips window, on the left of the Source Viewer panel. Click on the Import Bin to highlight it, and then right click inside the Import Bin. Choose Import from the drop down menu.

Step 4: Choose Location of Your Media File

The Import dialogue box will open and you can browse and select the file you want to import. There is a box at the bottom of the dialogue box named Video Drive/Audio Drive, where a particular drive is selected. Make sure that the drive appearing in this box is the same as you chose in Step 1. In the Video Resolution box, you can again choose a quality which you prefer for the imported file. You can ignore this if you are importing an audio file.

Step 5: Choose Options in Import Settings

Click on the Options button in the Import dialogue box, and it will open a window for Import Settings. There are different tabs here, and you may click on each tab to specify all the particular settings you want. These settings cover various areas as to how your image is sized and to what channel it is played on. You can experiment with these settings to get your file just the way you want it. Once you have chosen your settings, click on OK.

Step 6: Load Imported File

You will find your imported file in the Import bin, and it has also been created in the Manage Media Files location. You can load it into the Source Viewer by clicking on the file in the Import bin and dragging it into the monitor panel.

When you can not import your media files to Avid Media Composer directly, you can try to transcode media files to Avid DNxHD MOV for Avid Media Composer editing on Mac.
