    Hi,

    I tried to find former posts on this one, but could not get a clear answer.
    If I have MTS files and I wanna make them FCP 6 ready, can I convert them in Toast in a good quality?
    I know, it works, but does Toast do a good job?

    Hi Chris,

    I don’t know which compressor you are talking about, but if it’s the one from FCS, it does not accept MTS files.
    Any other idea?

    oh dear…oops I remember that now.

    clipwrap will do it. I find it an essential tool at a very low cost.

    Hi Chris,

    tried it. Actually Toast is better, even does a preety good de-interlaceing!

    I use adobe media encoder. Does the best job I’ve ever seen.

    Tried that one right now…very good result.
    Still: Toast is equally good. I am surprised myself, but it does hell of a Job!

    MTS>ProRes with Toast?? and it looks good?

    I never would have thought that possible.

    interesting.

    Me neither…and even more: I also converted the frame rate 29.97 to 25.
    I did all the same with Clipwarp & Media Encoder – and Toast pretty much stood up to it.
    Things you definitely would not expect!

    Respect to Toast!

    Do you know if – using Toast or one of the other converter programs – you can import the MTS files you want to use and create a new folder structure that FCP could recognize?

    I’d like to be able to just save my MTS files rather than backing up each SD card, and then if I want to bring them into FCP, create a new folder structure that L&T could read.

    This way I could view them in FCP, in the L&T window, before having to transcode them all.

    Also, which Toast are you using? I only have Toast 9…

    Thanks!
