MTS to MOV for Final Cut
Alright so I shot some HD video and used a memory card for the first time, I transferred the video to my computer and it’s in a MTS format, first I have never seen this format but understand that it is an HD recording format second I’ve been trying to convert the video I did see on here somewhere that MPEG Stream Clip works, I have tried this and have gotten no result, I can get VLC Player to play the video and can see it fine just I wanted to know if there is any free converters out there to use
Please Help!! this is for a school project so I don’t really want to buy a converter but if I have to I will

Hi Brandon,
You should start by having a look to Shane’s Ross tutorial on Tapeless Workflows:

If you don’t have the whole folder structure that holds the metadata for the .mts you should use ClipWrap to transcode to ProRes or ProRes LT.

Adobe Media Encoder will do the job.

Ok thanks for all the responses, at first I didn’t think this was important but the files I have are not a copy of the card, it is just the MTS video files, I tried Adobe Media Encoder and it is telling me that this file is unsupported, also I tried the Final Cut Log and Transfer function but this is futile since I do not have the card structure,
Is there any other way to convert these? or will I need to purchase a converter? if so what would you guys recommend?

Clipwrap is the simple answer. Yes, you have to buy it, but then you’ll have it for all the other times you’ll need it.

Yea I will have it for all the other time’s I will need it, and now that I know how to transfer files from a memory card will not be that much, but I may make it a point to use it instead of MPEG Stream Clip
