![]() ![]() If you are editing 1080p60 video you will need to convert to ProRes 422 as 60p (or 50p) footage which is in highly compressed AVCHD puts a tremendous strain on the processor causing dropped frames and other problems. However, if you are dealing with comparatively simple family films, you will probably not notice any difference and should be able to edit AVCHD natively without any problems. Converting to ProRes 422 makes it far more editor friendly and helps preserve the highest quality especially after colour-correcting etc. It will only add a few insignificant megabytes to the size and also includes important metadata.ĪVCHD is an extremely compressed format which is far from ideal for editing. You should always copy the whole folder structure so that FCP X can recognise the files. unless you have made the mistake of just copying the MTS files off your memory card. You don't need any converters to convert AVCHD. As the high compression of AVCHD will be very taxing on your system with 3 or more clips. Oh and most important, if yo wind up doing multicam work then ProRes will greatly help you out. No to mention you're most likely going to export to ProRes, so by having ProRes footage your encode will be MUCH faster, than native AVCHD. As AVCHD media doens't hold up well to compsitng or effects too well. Overall bty transcoding yoour fooatge to ProRes, you will save time and headaches. If FCPX offered transcode to ProResLT on import it would save me some time on the front end starting my project. Unfortuantely FCPX doesn't offer ProResLT as an transcode option on import, as they only offer ProResHQ, ProRes422, nd ProRes Proxy. The reason being that the file sizes to image quality is very good. My prefernce is to transcode to ProResLT. As ProRes, depending on which version you use will be 3-5X larger than your AVCHD files. DVD Playback, VLC).Keep in mind, thta you're going to need storgae for this. That means that anyone can create a plugin to embed another media playback engine so NicePlayer can go be extended past QuickTime (i.e. QuickTime doesn't support playing the files you want to watch? NicePlayer has an open plugin architecture to support other media playback engines as well. Use the playlist to queue up multiple media files and have them play sequentially, automatically. You can even adjust the size of the window when playing DVDs - so when you come across one of those widescreen DVDs encoded in full frame, you can zoom in so that you don't get black bars on all four sides of the movie when watching on your Powerbook or Cinema Display (using NicePlayer's "Fit Width" command also simplfies this more in most cases). Use the scroll wheel to change the window size.īecause NicePlayer allows you to use the scroll wheel to adjust playback of your movie to arbitrary sizes, you can easily do your work while watching a movie. Double click on the window to change to full screen. With an interface that only appears when you need it, NicePlayer makes it more convenient and easier to play all of your media. That means that you can play anything QuickTime can, and with our plug-in support even more - including DVDs. NicePlayer takes advantage of QuickTime and all of the codecs available to it, but without any of the nag screens. ![]()
