  AVCHD footage from C100 workflow

  Posted by Dean Daniels on December 17, 2018 at 12:10 pm

  Hi everyone

  If anyone has worked with AVCHD footage from the Canon C100, on a slower PC, will know it’s really difficult to edit with.
  If I were to use a converter, before I am ready to import it in to the edit – what codec should I convert the avchd stuff to?
  If I converted it to a proxy prores 422, or mpeg2, would I be losing video quality? Please note, I will be colour grading this footage.

  I’d really appreciate some help, as I am more of a shooter rather than an editor!

  Kind Regards

  D

  If you are on a Mac use prores proxies.
  Export is done with the original files, so no loss.

  If you download the latest version of Adobe Media Encoder, you can make Prores on a Windows machine as well.
