Thank you Shane

All makes sense.

Due to a few factors and pressure from producer to get clips synced and being in the bush for 2 months, all the media was unfortunately already synced in native format in FCP. Will hopefully not have many issues when transcoding the clips to ProRes.

No editing has been done yet. Only syncing.

I think what I have in my head is not possible in any app really as I do not want to convert all footage to ProRes. Space is very limited which is another reason we kept footage native during the production.

Thanks again for your reply!!

Hi,

I recently ran into problems with .mts files. I had no idea where they came from, what camera, etc. It was only a folder with a bunch of .mts files. (It was not in its original folder either as it records from camera)

I downloaded the plugins that I could find for FCP and tried Log & Transfer but no luck.

I tried MPEG Streamclip, Compressor and a few other programs to transcode to Prores but no program recognized the files.

Luckily I have Premiere Pro CS6 (Believe CS5 and up will work) and it recognizes almost any file format so I imported into PP and then exported as a ProRes file. That file was hen imported into FCP.

There could be better ways but I had no time and was the easiest, quickest option for me.

Good luck
