Converting .MTS files to edit in final cut pro

[Dorit Grunberger]

I think all you have to do is convert the .mts to ProRes in FCP (or other) and then put it on a 23.98 or 29.97 timeline

Thanks in advance,

i dont think its that simple… bc when i convert to appleprores it does it to 30 or 29.97 or 24 fps it doesnt let me do it to 60 so i can then conform it to 30fps

Thanks for the suggestion! I was having a similar problem and After FX seems like it will work great. I never would have though to try it without the suggestion.

How to Convert MTS Files to Editable Quicktime MOV. As a DV photographer, I purchased Sony HDR-AX2000 which creates MTS files that can’t be read directly by FCP. But I am lack of skilled computer program instructions. It couldn’t seem to pick a correct encodings to get the audio and video to stay in sync.

I don’t understand why when I connect my camera to the computer, the computer recognises it but FCP doesn’t. Is there an import setting that I need to change for the firewire? Anything else I’m missing? I’m editing on FCP 6.0.6. Otherwise I understand that Clipwrap is the way to go. Would love to find a solution through FCP if possible though. Any ideas most welcome!

I’m using clipwrap 2.4.3 which has worked well for a while. The MTS files I’m trying to convert to Apple Pro Res are coming out without audio and with a green screen at the beginning of the clip.

Any clue as to why this is happening, is this version too old for some MTS files?

[Shane Ross]

It might be. ClipWrap 2.7.3 is the latest version. Update it through the application (there’s an option to do that)…and see if that does it.

It got much close, still starts with the green screen at the beginning of the clip. The audio is there but it’s out of sync.

I suppose I could resync audio manually but I would hate for the clips to have issues later on in the project.
