MTS Converison advise
Hello. I’m new to this site and for my first post, I need a little advise. First off, I taught myself FCP and therefore there are some i’s not dotted and t’s not crossed when it comes to my technical skill. I currently use FCP 7
I’m going to be working on a project that was shot with a Panasonic AVCCAM. The files are all MTS files and the person currently with the footage wants to know what kind of format i want them converted to.
Being that I have never had to deal with converting MTS files before, I’m not sure what the best approach would be. Other HD projects I have worked on I used Quicktime with an MPEG-2 codec. Should I just have him convert them to those? Sorry if that’s a silly question.Cheers,

I’d have him convert them to ProRes files.

Thanks for the response Jerry. It’s appreciated.

You might want to get the raw files and log and transfer them yourself. File > Log and Transfer.
This way you can log the footage to your liking and you’ll earn something in the process. 😉
At the end of the Log and Transfer process, you will have ProRes files.
