![]() Using the Import window, FCPX will wrap them in a mov container and also transcode the audio intro straight PCM audio so it plays back as smooth as butter. If you are first copying a card to a drive, then make sure you get the entire folder structure of the card, or use something like excellent Hedge for this task. If your coming straight from the card, its easy. Fortunately FCPX will do all this transcoding automatically on import of AVCHD! Sweet, that is if you use the Import dialog. Therefore, you need both Audio and Video to be rewrapped and or transcoded from a MTS file, as well as injecting metadata – timecode for example. In MTS, Audio is as much as a problem as video. In FCPX it make LOOK like it is playing back a few files efficiently, but try to deal with more than a handful of shots and you will enter molasses land. Both audio and video are efficiently stored in there… but almost no NLE can play them back completely efficiently. ![]() MTS are h264 (well at least in theory) as well as compressed audio. The elements in the AVCHD bundle is not designed to be separated - there is essential metadata in there, for example MTS files are NOT shots but rather elements of shots - if you have a long shot it will be divided into multiple MTS. Mpeg Transport Streams are part of the AVCHD bundle, and they belong in the bundle, not separate if you can help it. If you ever find yourself with MTS files realize you probably shouldn’t have them. Bring them into FCPX and sure they play… sorta. But only a bit.** MTS files are enough to make a FCPX editor cower in the corner. ![]() So here they are in no particular order: MTS Files = Media Transcoded by Satan** So after good amount of sleuthing I discovered a few issues and tips. FCPX crashing, being as slow as molasses and not able to share (export). Using ClipWrap How do I purchase ClipWrap? ClipWrap is available directly from our website.I have heard from colleagues of their trouble with AVCHD media, shot on the sony FS700 in particular. We have a section of this FAQ dedicated to understanding the similarities and differences between the options. mts / BDMV folders etc? Please checkout this page - Understanding AVCHD. ![]() m2t files? Please checkout this page - Understanding HDV. Does ClipWrap support my camera? We have worked hard prior to releasing ClipWrap to test with as many HDV, AVCHD, and AVCLite camera files as possible. We've created a list of the cameras we actively test with. ![]() As long as your camera conforms to the HDV, AVCHD, or AVCHD lite specification, it should work great. We also encourage you to download our free trial to try for yourself. And of course, if you find a format ClipWrap doesn't support, please let us know, we're eager to fix any problems users might encounter. Why do I need to have FCP installed? You no longer do! ClipWrap used to require FCP's HDV codecs to re-encode the audio contained in the m2t, but we now ship with our own mpeg codecs - thanks to the wonderful opensource Perian project, so FCP is no longer required to use ClipWrap. Please note, you'll still need one of the "Pro Apps" (Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro X, Compressor, etc) installed if you wish to transcode into one of the ProRes formats, as that encoder is not available separately. Will it work with iMovie, Final Cut Express or Avid? ClipWrap 1.1 adds transcoding support which will allow you to convert your m2t files into a format these applications can open. Aren't there free alternatives? Yes and No. ![]()
