Sony HDR-CX12
I just purchased a Sony HDR-CX12. I’m doing underwater videography, and I selected this from a group of cameras that have a relatively inexpensive underwater housing.
I just started playing with it. It creates MTS files, which cannot be imported into FCP. So, I’m supposed to convert them. However, the resulting files look like absolute crap – pixels everywhere, jerky movements.
Right now I’m using a trial version of iSkysoft Video Converter and converting to the Final Cut Pro files.
Any ideas?

Searching this forum for mts would have shown two posts in the past five days

I don’t know why so many people in the FCP forum have to respond to posts with this tone. I searched for my camera type and came up with several threads, none of which were helpful. I probably should have searched for MTS, but I’d been converting files for about four hours and nothing was working, and I was frustrated.
I’ve responded to many people who’ve asked simple questions, questions where if they’d just searched for a different term, they’d have found their answer, but I’ve never been nasty. I’ve never felt the need to point that out.
And yet so often when I post something, I get a snippy response like yours. I go back through the archives every few weeks, and I’m constantly finding other people being treated like this, too. Why is it necessary? You guys can never just answer the question, you have to toss in a snide remark, too.
Thanks, I’ll look at your suggestion, but I think I’m going to have to find another forum for FCP issues where people actually want to help, not just feel self-important. The people on other Creative Cow forums manage to answer even the most basic questions with total respect.

And while we’re at it…
The reply “Read the manual” is just rude.
If we understood the entire manual we wouldn’t need to post here.I am a film editor (yes 16mm) who became a director and now cut my own stuff.
I can never match the experience in FCP editing of many people who help here.
We are VERY grateful. So don’t be too sharp. -
Not only that, but I’ve read countless threads where the people who reply are more concerned with pointing out everything that the OP has done that is wrong, or get fixated on a non-essential detail, and after a dozen replies, no one’s actually answered the question. I’ve also read several threads where the repliers either don’t read the OP’s entire post or misunderstand the question, then post an answer in which they berate the OP for something that the OP didn’t even ask about.
