Transfer Panasonic HDC-MDH1 AVCHD 2.7" videos to FCP 6/7

Summary: Read on this article, you can get the hints how to import and edit Panasonic HDC-MDH1 2.7" AVCHD MTS footage with Final Cut Pro 6/7 flawlessly without any issue.  

I purchased Panasonic HDC-MDH1 on 26.3.2012 in Bangalore. This is an exellent professional shoulder mount camera in lowest price, also best for Wedding, Birthday parties, Functions, outdoor shoots etc. Shoots in very lowest light clear picture. No vibration in long zoom shooting. 


I have just shot my first HD wedding video with the MDH1. I am very happy with the video quality with the 2.7" Touchscreen LCD, the camera which records in AVCHD format, I need to edit the   2.7" mts files on Mac with FCP before sharing with my friends and family.

But I find that Panasonic HDC-MDH1's recording AVCHD MTS files are not the preferred format for Final Cut Pro 6/7. Then I think the first step to do is to convert Panasonic mts video to FCP compatible Prores codec for editing with high quality on iMac/MacBook Pro with Mac OS X like Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks 10.9.  Now I will share the easy steps here.

Step 1: Free Download and install Panasonic MTS to FCP Converter to your Mac. It's excellent Panasonic AVCHD Converter which can convert nearly all Panasonic camcorder videos to any formats you need, such as Apple Prores 422 MOV, Apple InterMediate Codec MOV, QuickTime MOV, etc. Then import your 2.7" AVCHD files from HDC-MDH1.

Step 2: Click the format bar, and move mouse cursor to "Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)" as output format .



Tips:

a.  There are other four presets for ProRes: Apple ProRes 422 HQ, Apple ProRes 422 LT, Apple ProRes 422 Proxy and Apple ProRes 4444. Usually the ProRes 422 HQ has better video quality than ProRes 422 and could meet your needs. If you need smaller size, turn to ProRes 422 LT.

Learn more Apple ProRes, please refer to Types of Apple ProRes Codecs

b. Click Settings to customize video size, bitrate, frame rate and other specs.

Step 3. Click "Convert" button to start transcoding Panasonic HDC-MDH1 2.7" AVCHD videos to FCP 6/7 on Mac OS (Mavericks 10.9 included).

After a shot conversion, you will be able to import/load Panasonic HDC-MDH1 2.7" videos into Final Cut Pro 6/7 for editing without rendering.

How to import .mov footage taken by Nikon D5300 to Adobe Premiere Pro without rendering? By converting Nikon mov to Premiere friendly format, you can easily get the smooth workflow with D5300 and Premiere Pro on Mac (Mavericks included).

Nikon D5300 makes fantastic quality images and weighs almost nothing, so it's a pleasure to carry it everywhere. Compared to the pro cameras I often haul, the D5300 feels as if it's hollow, which is a very good thing. It can record H.264/MPEG-4 stored as .MOV video files which ensures high quality.

As the H.264 codec is highly compressed, so can not easily and directly import and edit Nikon D5300 mov files on Mac with Adobe Premiere Pro. If you want to import  Nikon D5300 MOV video to Premiere Pro on Mac for editing, you are likely to meet all kinds of problems due to the compatibility issue. So how can we import Nikon D5300 MOV footage to Premiere Pro? Here are two solutions:

Method 1.

Right click your MOV footage; rename the .mov files with .mpg extension. This "fools" Adobe Premiere Pro into thinking it's a different codec.

It works in this way; however, your footages didn't turn into another codec so that Premiere Pro may still does something wrong during editing. And if you didn't do a backup before changing the extension, it really ruins your valuable footage.

Besides, here's another problem: what if you have hundreds of clips to be edited? Rename all of them could be such a pain!

So here comes the second way to let Nikon D5300 import to Adobe Premiere Pro smoothly.

Method 2.

To crack the obstacle, the best way is to convert the H.264 MOV from Nikon D5300 to MPEG-2 or MOV which have been designed to work especially well as high-quality, high-performance editing codecs for Premiere Pro. Come and meet this Canon MOV to Premiere Pro Converter which would be a vital part of your workflow. You can order a license directly, or free download a trial version here.

Transcode Nikon D5300 H.264 mov files on Mac to Premiere Pro for editing

Step 1. Connect your Nikon D5300 to Mac with USB cable or use card reader to transfer the MOV files to hard drive disk; do not forget to keep your camcorder on.

Step 2. Run this Nikon D5300 MOV Converter, click the "Add video" button to load individuals mov videos; or click "Add from folder" to load the entire folder.


Step 3. Choose editing program compatible format.

Click the "Profile" option, you will find various video formats sorted by various programs/devices. For Adobe Premiere Pro, it should be "Adobe Premiere > MPEG-2(*.mpg)" or "MOV (AVC)(*.mov)".



Step 3. Click "convert" button to convert Nikon D5300 H.264 MOV for Premiere Pro with this best Canon EOS Video Converter.

After conversion completes, you can easily import Nikon D5300 footage to Premiere Pro for smoothly editing as you want.

Getting DVD (ISO) video files into iTunes for Apple TV 3 with Dobly Digital 5.1 audio

If you'd like to stream DVD and ISO to Apple TV 3 with Dobly Digital 5.1 audio, you'll need to convert DVD yet ISO to iTunes or ATV 3 compatible video formats first. Read on to learn more.

Externally, the Apple TV 2012 (1080p 3rd-Gen Apple TV) is virtually indistinguishable from the Apple TV 2nd generation. That difference is its support for native 1080p video, as streamed from iTunes, over the Internet, or via AirPlay from a third-generation iPad. Yeah, you can stream 1080p HD movies and TV shows your buy on the iTunes store for enjoying on your 65-inch HDTV.

Besides, with proper DVD ripping software, you can get DVD and ISO into iTunes for Apple TV 3 streaming with original stunning image quality. But sometimes you may have problems in audio, in specific, Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. To help those who wanna backup and rip DVD and ISO's to Apple TV 3 with Dobly 5.1 audio, below, I'll throw a quick tutorial up.




First, to achieve your goal smoothly, the most important piece of the equation is that you have a suitable DVD ripping software hooked to your PC. There are many programs out there that allow you to make copies of your DVDs and let you watch them the way you want to view them.

If you're looking for ease of use, and don't mind spending $30 (they currently have a sale), I've had success using Pavtube's BDMagic for Mac (alternative Windows version) to convert DVD discs and ISO image files to a format playable with Dobly Digital 5.1 audio by Apple TV 3 and iTunes. I've found the quality to be excellent, and see no difference when compared to playing the discs themselves.

Converting/Importing DVD and ISO's into iTunes for Apple TV 3 streaming

1. After installing, launch the DVD Converter app on your Mac. and then press "Load Disc" icon to import DVD movie. Choose "File > Load from ISO/IFO" if you'd like to import DVD ISO image file.

2. Choose output profile. You can easily find several optimized profiles for Apple TV 3 under "Apple TV" category. Here I recommend you select "Apple TV 3 1080P Dolby Digital Pass-through(.m4v)" which works well for ATV 3 while maintaining 5.1 surround.

apple tv format1 Rip Blu ray to Apple TV 3 with AC3 5.1 audio on Mac

You can click "settings" to change the setting from the new default HD profile 4000 to 5000~8000 bitrate (Note: bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss).

apple tv settings1 Rip Blu ray to Apple TV 3 with AC3 5.1 audio on Mac

P.S. The key setting Video Size for your new Apple TV is according to your source video exactly. If your source video is in 1080p such as Blu-ray, you can set your video size in 1920*1080 in H.264 codec; while, if your original video size is in standard, 720p in enough. For example, to play DVD on the Apple TV 3, 720*480 video size with 4000~6000kbps birate is enough due to the dvd movies' native resolution.

3. Press "Convert" to start converting DVD to Apple TV 3 MP4 videos with Dobly 5.1 audio under Mac OS X.

4. Wait till conversion completes. Then press "Open" to find the ripped movie.

Add DVD rips to iTunes movie library for streaming to Apple TV 3:

You can then add the new mp4 videos into iTunes movie library. Open up iTunes and follow "File>> Add file to Library…" to sync video to iTunes.

For more information about how to stream HD videos to Apple TV 3 and connections for the Apple TV to pass-through AC-3 5.1 audio, please check Setting up Apple TV for Dolby Digital 5.1 pass-through.

Other You May Concern

1. Can the Apple TV 3 support AC3 5.1 audio?

The answer is Possible. According to my experience, the 2012 new Apple TV is not able to decode 5.1 surround sound to stereo by itself, if you want to play AC3 5.1 (Dolby Digital surround) audio you will need an AV receiver.

2. Does the Blu-ray rip play silence or gray screen in iTunes?

No. iTunes does not play video contents with AC3 audio, but the Apple TV pass-through presets create video with both AC3 and AAC, so iTunes will find and play the AAC track instead.

3. Does the Apple TV 3 Dolby Digital Pass-through preset work with iPad?

Yes. The preset also work with new iPad. It plays stereo by default. If you'd like to play surround sound effect, enable Airplay to have iPad stream the video to Apple TV 3, which pass-through AC3 audio to receiver.

I hope you enjoyed my guide and enjoy your synced up Apple TV 3!
