Hello Shane
Thank you so much for your reply.
I didn’t convert the files, the person who recorded the footage, converted the .MTS files to .mov with iphoto software. When I open the mov files on QT and put apple i I get the information of the clip but not the codec. I think it is H.264.
I have a very very basic 2.4GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo but it works just fine with Final Cut Pro 7 for basic editing, even in HD.
If Im not using Fina Cut with tapeless workflow using the original MTS files is because the person who recorded the material, seems to accidentally erase a lot of clips from the memory card!!
My computer is a Mac Book Pro and has USB2 ports, the project is on a 2TB Seagate Expansion USB3.
I guess my options are: 1. Run the mov files throw compressor and edit in Final Cut
2. Drop the clips on the timeline in Adobe and render everything?
Any other idea, unfortunately I dont have at the moment to get a new computer or graphics card.
Thank you!
