So… the solution I found over on the Adobe form – the one that work for me and many others – is going to sound crazy.
Don’t move your mouse. Seriously. Hit enter and step away from your computer. Don’t touch it. I even did a test on the exact same file. One where I moved the mouse in the middle it copying files and it failed.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!

I actually just found the frame control piece, and was about to come back to answer my own questions! It’s interesting though…
If you want your clip to be 200% faster, you have to make a clip that’s 50% shorter. Makes sense, just not the way I was thinking about it at first.

I thought that, but it does the same thing on my track pad on the laptop. So that rules out the house.

How could I accomplish this outline effect with a keyed out element, or anything else that has alpha data?

Hey Gang,
Thanks for the help. Perhaps I should have added an “lol” at the end of my first statement to make it sound not so “piss poor”. I just think it’s silly that there doesn’t seem to be a single solution for all this.
The issue here is that a client provided just the .MTS files to me, completely out of context from the media they were acquired with – so no meta data.
I suppose it makes me feel a little better that at least it’s because the media is not in the context it was intended to be in for my uses.
Thanks for the info… guess I’m droppin’ 50 bones on ClipWrap. 😛
FYI: I’m not frustrated at Apple or Avid for doing a less than stellar job of supporting the AVCHD format. I’m personally frustrated at the format for even existing. But that’s just me. 🙂

I did search the forums, and I did see this thread. Neither responses provided a good answer. ClipWrap is not free, and MPEG Streamclip does not work as stated in my original post.

That’s what I thought.
I was able to run a Batch Conform using Cinema Tools, and now I’ve got Compressor crunchin’ everything into ProRes 422.
Thanks for the feedback.
