Pentax DSLRs release: Pentax K-5 II and K-5 IIs on October, 2012

Categories:

News

by

The news comes from: http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/11/pentax-launches-q10-K5-IIs/

Pentax launches Q10 interchangeable lens camera, K-5 II and K-5 IIs flagship DSLRs

It’s not every day that a camera company launches two major models the same day, but Pentax has done just that with the Q10 mirrorless interchangeable and the K-5 II / IIs cameras. The Q10 joins its equally tiny stablemate, the Q, to round out its line of mini-sensored, playing-card-sized cams that still let you change lenses. The new model boasts the same bokeh control and effects dial of the original Q, but adds a new grip and several color options, like the now-ubiquitous red shown above. Other features include a K-mount lens adapter, an included 15-45mm zoom telephoto, improved AF performance, full HD video recording, anti-shake technology, 5 fps continuous shooting capability and a pop-up flash. The new mini-shooter will go on sale in October at around $600 with the kit lens.

If you have bigger (and deeper) pockets for something more sporty, Pentax has also announced it’s top K-5 II and K-5 IIs models to replace the popular K5, which has been around since 2010. The weather- and cold-resistant, dustproof DSLRs retain the same 16.2-megapixel resolution of their predecessor, but Pentax claims the new SAFOX X AF sensor has improved sensitivity in low-light conditions and improved auto-focus. The K-5 IIs eschews the anti-aliasing filter found on its sibling, but is otherwise the same, with a 3-inch, 925k LCD, 7fps burst mode, magnesium alloy / stainless steel body and RAW data retrieve function. These models will also appear in October and dent your wallet to the tune of $1,200 and $1,350 for the K-5 II and IIs, respectively. All that might address some of the AF and light sensitivity beefs we heard before, but we’ll have wait for the next round of reviews to find out.

More about Pentax K-5 II spec, click here

The new mini-shooter will go on sale in October at around $600 with the kit lens.

The PENTAX Q10 comes equipped with a Full HD video capture function employing the H.264 recording format, allowing the user to capture high quality, extended movie clips (1920 x 1080 pixels) at a frame rate of 30 frames per second.

Transcode Sony HDR-CX360V 1920×1080 50p/60p MTS to ProRes 422 HQ for Final Cut Pro on Mac

Categories:

Final Cut Pro

by

Summary: The article will give you the workflow for how to import Sony HDR-CX360V 1920×1080 50p/60p MTS footages to Final Cut Pro if your Log and Transfer is proved to be ineffective while ingesting MTS files from Sony HDR-CX360V.

I used Sony HDR-CX360V to record 1920×1080 50p/60p AVCHD MTS files, which are not compatible with FCP. So in order to edit .mts clips on Final Cut Pro, conversion from MTS in 50/60 progressive mode to ProRes is necessary.

I’ve tried Clipwrap, Toast and Pavtube to carry out the conversion. Clipwrap failed because it cannot export 50/60 progressive mode; Toast completed converting but the quality is badly affected.

Only Pavtube MTS Converter for Mac successfully converted the 50p/60p MTS to ProRes 422 with no loss of quality. I really want to say that it is the best software to transcode Sony HDR-CX360V 1920×1080 50p/60p AVCHD MTS footage for FCP that I’ve ever used.

Free Download MTS Converter for Mac Mountain Lion 10.8.

Here is the step-by-step guide to quickly Convert/Edit Sony CX360 50p/60p MTS to ProRes 422 (*.mov) on Final Cut Pro.

1. Import .mts files.

Run the professional Mac MTS Converter for FCP. Use a USB cable to Connect Sony HDR-CX360V to Mac. Click “Add” icon or drag and drop to load .mts files from Sony HDR-CX360V to Pavtube MTS Converter for Mac. Follow the popup window and wizard to complete the import.

Choose Apple ProRes 422(HQ) (*.mov) under Final Cut Pro as its output format and choose “50” (or 60) for the frame rate.

2. Choose Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) for editing on FCP.

Hit “Format” box and select one of the Apple ProRes codecs on the dropdown list. You are advised to choose “Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)”or “Apple ProRes 422 HQ (*.mov)” format. Due to the difference in the compresstion standard of AVCHD and ProRes 422, the converted files are significantly larger than the original ones. If you prefer smaller file size, please choose “Apple ProRes 422 (LT) (*.mov)” instead.

Note: Since ProRes 422 (LT), ProRes 422 (Proxy), and ProRes 4444 have not been added to FCP 6, you’d better not set one of them as output if you happen to edit your H.264 files in FCP 6 before upgrading FCP 7.

Tips:

  • ProRes 422 (HQ): offers the utmost possible quality for 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 sources and provides target data rate of approximately 220 Mbps and higher quality than Apple ProRes 422;
  • ProRes 422: provides target data rate of approximately 145 Mbps and higher quality than Apple ProRes 422 (LT);
  • ProRes 422 (LT): provides roughly 70 percent of the data rate of Apple ProRes 422 (thus, smaller file sizes than Apple ProRes 422) and higher quality than ProRes 422 (Proxy);
  • ProRes 422 (Proxy): provides roughly 30 percent of the data rate of Apple ProRes 422 and high-quality offline editing at the original frame size, frame rate, and aspect ratio;
  • ProRes 4444: offers the utmost possible quality for 4:4:4 sources and roughly 50 percent higher than the data rate of Apple ProRes 422 (HQ).

    3. Setting the best profile for editing mts files on Final Cut Pro.

    By clicking the Settings buttion on the main interface. Adjust the video and parameters, including the Bitrate of Video and Audio, the Codec of Video and Audio, Video Size, Sample Rate, Frame Rate, Audio Channels, etc.,

    4. Convert MTS to ProRes 422 HQ for FCP X.

    Click the “arrow” button to start converting Sony CX360V 50p/60p MTS to ProRes 422 HQ on Mac Lion 10.8/10.7/10.6/10.5 immediately.

    After the MTS to ProRes conversion is 100% completed, please run the Final Cut Pro and click “File –> Import –> Files” for editing Sony CX360V MTS files in FCP without any rendering and quality loss. Besides the ability to transfter the Sony CX360V MTS files to FCP, the versatile MTS Converter for Mac can help you import/edit Sony CX360V MTS files into FCP X, iMovie, FCE, Avid Media Composer, etc. If you are interested, please link to MTS Column to get more info.

Categories:

Final Cut Pro

by

Sony NEX-FS700 can shoot full 1080p video in a range of frame rates up to 60p, it provides the option of recording AVCHD footage onto SD card/MemoryStick or via the FMU (flash memory unit) port, or it can output 4:2:2 video (with embedded timecode) via HDMI 1.4 or 3G/HD-SDI to an external recording unit. It is a fully professional large-sensor video camera. Hot on the heels of the FS100, this compact, highly modular camera uses a very similar-sized Super 35 CMOS sensor as the Sony NEX-FS100.

It is a pity that 1920 x 1080/60p AVCHD MTS/M2TS full recordings from Sony FS700 can’t be edited by Final Cut Pro 6/7 or FCP X directly via Mac.

by

Question:

“I am running Final Cut Pro 7 on Mac OS X Lion 10.7. From the age of 8, I would like to collect all kinds of DVDs or Blu-rays, and and some came from my friends, now I’m 20 years old, I want to extract part of the meaning from these DVD discs to Final Cut Pro X for editing, and then I can make DVD video as I want, as myself birthday gift, at the same time, also regard it as my childhood memories, a souvenir. So, is there a tool can convert movies from DVD to Final Cut Pro compatible formats? I’ve been hearing some free video converter tool and tried. However, the video quality is very bad after the conversion. Or FCP does not support the converted codec. Now, I only want a simple workflow with Final Cut Pro. Any suggestions. Thanks!”

For Mac users, Final Cut Pro 7 is really a very good tool to edit DVD movies. However, before loading DVD movies to Final Cut Pro 7 for editing, we need to do some work in advance.

As far as I know, the best compatinle video codec for working in Final Cut Pro is Apple ProRes Codec, which uses I-frame–only (intraframe) encoding, providing faster rendering and real-time playback performance, and has a generous color sample ratio and bit depth, allowing for higher-quality rendering of visual effects. So if you want to edit DVD movies in Final Cut Pro 7 without loss of quality, you may have to convert DVD to ProRes 422 or ProRes 4444 MOV under Mac OS X Lion 10.7. Here I recommend you a powerful Mac DVD to ProRes Converter – Pavtube Mac iMedia Converter, the program designed for Mac users to edit and rip DVDs to almost all other popular video and audio format.

Instructions

Mac iMedia Converter is a practical app helping you Covnert DVD to ProRes 4444 in MOV format. It supports convert Blu-ray, DVD, ISO files and 1080p cameras/camcorders footages to Apple ProRes 422, Apple ProRes 422 (LT), Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy) and Apple ProRes 4444, any of which would be nicely accepted by Final Cut Pro. It also can transcode all videos and movies to editable HD video formats for non-linear editing software like iMovie, Final Cut Express, Final Cut Pro X, Final Cut Studio, Avid, Adobe Premiere etc. The HD footage can be compressed to SD video clips for storage when you wanna save storage space.

ProRes 422 (Proxy) – For craft editing or offline editing on a MacBook or MacBook Pro.

ProRes 422 (LT) – For projects such as news, sports, and multicam events that require reduced file sizes at broadcast quality.

ProRes 4444 – For compositing and digital workflows that require the highest-possible image fidelity.

Guide: How to convert DVD movies to ProRes 4444 MOV for Final Cut Pro 7 on Mac OS X?

Free Download Mac DVD to ProRes Converter.

Step 1. Install and run this Mac iMedia Converter. Bring out your DVD disk movie, insert it into your Mac DVD Rom, click “” icon, load DVD files, you’ll see all the DVD info listed in the software.

Step 2. Check the needed chapter or titles to be transcoded, and then choose the ideal output video format. For example, you can select “Final Cut Pro” -> “Apple ProRes 4444 (*.mov)“, or “Final Cut Pro” -> “Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)“, etc

If necessary, you can change the a/v parameters by entering into “Settings” window.


Step 3. Specify an output folder to store the final Apple ProRes MOV files, this step is optional, if you don’t set it, the final videos will be saved in the default folder.

Before transcode DVD to ProRes MOV, you can also make some simple DVD editing with the Mac iMedia Converter: Trim DVD, split DVD, crop DVD, merge DVD, effect DVD, etc.

Finally, click “Convert” button to start converting DVD to ProRes 4444 or ProRes 422.

When the conversion finishes, you can open the MOV video files, and import MOV to Final Cut Pro 7 for editing.

Samsung announces EK-GC100 Galaxy Camera with Android Jelly Bean, massive 4.8-inch display, 21x zoom, WiFi and 4G connectivity (hands-on)

During a visit to Samsung’s headquarters in Korea earlier this year, we had a chance to talk shop with company execs. The electronics maker’s existing mirrorless and point-and-shoot lineups were the primary topic of discussion, but we did catch wind of a Galaxy product possibly to come, from the camera division. A Galaxy camera? That could only mean Android, and a heavy heaping of touch and connectivity. At the time, reps admitted only that they were “considering” such a device, and declined to provide any hint as to design or functionality. And we haven’t heard a further peep, until today. As you may have gathered from recent rumors, Samsung’s Galaxy Note II is not the only product to be Unpacked this afternoon. Sure enough, the anticipated Galaxy Camera is also on order, and we have all the juicy details just past the break.

M2T files and FCP (X)-Transcode M2T footage to ProRes MOV for FCP 6/7, FCP X editing smoothly

Categories:

Final Cut Pro

by

Summary: The article will tell you how to transcode M2T footages to Final Cut Pro 6/7 or FCP X for editing smoothly via Mac M2T to MOV Converter.

What is M2T files?

M2T is High-definition video recording format used by many HD camcorders; commonly referred to as “HDV”; uses MPEG-2 compression to store HD video data on DV or MiniDV tapes; supports resolutions of 720p and 1080i.

There are many different digital video file types available out there, which can make file conversion difficult for the inexperienced. M2T files and MPG files are actually not completely dissimilar, as both are different types of MPEG2 video files. As a result, this is a much less complicated conversion than many other possible video conversions. If a quick file renaming trick doesn’t work, there are many conversion programs available on the Internet. I’d like Pavtube Mac M2T to MOV Converter.

The native format of HDV isn’t QuickTime, its .M2T.

Anyway, while working on my latest book, I needed to convert .M2T files to Final Cut Pro 6/7 and Final Cut Pro X compatible Formats. Apple Final Cut likes lots and lots of different files – but not .M2T.

This means that if someone captures an HDV file in another application, such as Adobe OnLocation or HDVSplit , then sends it to you, you’ll need to transcode M2T to ProRes MOV before importing M2T to Final Cut Pro (X) for editing on Mac.

Note: You can not use QuickTime Player to preview an M2T file. The Finder displays it as a generic document icon.

Download Pavtube Mac M2T to MOV Converter

Summary: Do you want to solve the Panasonic G5 and iMovie/Final Cut Pro/Final Cut Express/Avid Media Composer compatibility problem on Mac 10.8/10.7/10.6/10.5? This short article will tell you the most simple way, you only need to transcode Panasonic Lumix G5 1080/60p AVCHD to AIC MOV for iMovie and Final Cut Express – G5 AVCHD to ProRes 422 MOV for Final Cut Pro – G5 AVCHD to DNxHD mov for Avid Media Composer via using Mac Panasonic AVCHD Converter. Finally, you can import the converted G5 1080/60p AVCHD files to iMovie, FCE, FCP, Avid MC for editing on Mac Mountain Lion 10.8.

Panasonic Lumix G5 Introduction

Panasonic has launched the LUMIX G5 in 18th July, 2012. A new standard in digital single lens mirrorless camera image quality, with a new 16.05-megapixel Live MOS sensor; the Venus Engine VII FHD image processor; and an ISO range of up to 12,800, the LUMIX G5 provides stunning image quality, even in low-light situations.

If you have got the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 in hand and tried to shoot with it, you will definitely be surprised by the fantanstic photo and video performance since you can get the great image quality, sharp details and excellent resolution and color production. After showing off your Full HD videos, you will be disappointed when you want to import Panasonic G5 1080p AVCHD footages to iMovie/FCP/FCE/Avid MC and find all MTS files are greyed out, which means that iMovie can not recognize your MTS files.

What causes makes iMovie/FCP/FCE/Avid MC and Panasonic G5 AVCHD does not compatible?

After testing, we found the 1080p AVCHD recordings from Lumix DMC-G5 can’t be surpported well by FCP/FCE/Avid MC/iMovie (include iMovie 8/9/11), especially 50p clips.

Firstly, the recordings with the codec H.264/MPEG-4 are highly compressed for saving storage space and smooth playback, but the H.264 files are not suitable for editing, so editing H.264 MTS files in FCP/FCE/Avid MC/iMovie is always a headaching problem for editors.

Secondly, up to now, FCP/FCE/Avid MC/iMovie can not always successfully recognize footages at 60fps. So if you want to put 1080/60p files to FCP/FCE/Avid MC/iMovie, you will sometimes meet the importing problem.

How to solve the importing problem without any loss of original quality?

To sovle the importing problem, the first thing you should know is that the Apple InterMediate Codec(AIC) is the best codec for iMovie 8/9/11 on Mac Mountain Lion 10.8, So you need a professional Mac Panasonic AVCHD Converter to convert Panasonic G5 1080p 50p/60p AVCHD to AIC MOV for editing. Here recommended the best Mac Converter – Pavtube MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac, applying which you are not only able to transcode 1080/60p AVCHD files to 1080/30p MOV files with AIC/ProRes/DNxHD codec, but also capable of combining several clips into one for easy importing/editing in iMovie/FCP/FCE/Avid MC, trimming videos, adding text/image/video as watermarks to your original files, replacing audios, adjusting brightness/contast/saturation of the imported files, etc.

Canon announces EOS C100 cinema camera, confirms October shipping for the C500

News reproduced: http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/29/canon-announces-eos-c100-cinema-camera/

Canon already gave those looking for a full-frame DSLR plenty to think about recently, and now it’s stirring up the movie-maker’s pot. It’s just announced a new member to its EOS digital cinema collection — the EOS C100 — and given us a better idea of when we can expect that C500 to land. The C100 essentially offers a new prospect for those with pockets not quite so deep. Unlike its 4K sibling, the C100 offers 1,920 x 1,080 AVCHD via its Super 35mm 16:9 CMOS sensor, has an ISO range of 320 to 20,000 and sports the EF mount system. Other features of interest include a push auto iris function, one-shot auto focus, a multi-angle 3.5-inch LCD and a locking HDMI output. The C500, meanwhile, has now been tipped for an October debut with that princely $30,000 price-tag. But, if the C100 sounds more your jive, then you can scoop one up in November for a slightly less tax-deductible $7,999. Canon also took the opportunity to offer up two new cinema lenses: the CN-E15.5-47mm T2.8 L S/SP wide-angle and the CN-E30-105mm T2.8 L S/SP telephoto.
