I think in the future I'll figure out a way to preserve the full AVCHD file structure in Lightroom, for this sort of purpose. Also, you won't need Handbrake, unless you want to convert the movie to a specific format that QuickTime can't deliver. 1080p was not an option when I wrote this several years ago. I meant to add that you can export to the resolution of your choice. (I use QuickTime to export at 1280x720 and then use Handbrake to convert them. When done editing, export the movie in your preferred format. To import the Archive into iMovie for editing, use File/Import/Camera Archive and navigate to the appropriate folder.ħ. mts files) separate from the next one you import.Ħ. This workflow will keep each PRIVATE folder (which contains the. This could make iMovie operate more slowly.)ĥ. (Don’t save the archive inside the iMovie Events or iMovie Projects folders. Choose where you want to save the archive, and then click Create. In the Save As field, type a unique name for the archive. Click Archive All at the bottom of the Import window.Ĥ. (If not, choose File/Import from Camera.)ģ. (Or, use a USB card reader.) The Import window should open. Set the camera to PC Connect mode, and then connect it to your computer. That makes it difficult to find the right clips. and repeats them again for the next movie rather than continuing the sequence. mts files using the Apple Intermediate Codec, I archive them. One never knows when the original AVCHD (.mts) file may be useful in another app someday.
It starts with a download procedure that let's you edit the AVCHD file in iMovie and preserves the original. Lightworks (the video editor) can also handle them.
Lightroom can definitely handle 1080p AVCHD mts files, at least on Win. As I recall, Lightroom can also import the AVCHD 2 files.
There's a free trial version limited to 1 minute clips. AVCHD 1 files (720p) are supported in iMovie, etc. The AVCHD 2 files (1020p) can be "wrapped" via the ClipWrap utility that makes them usable in most apps. How do I help my friend to work with these files? Is there some easy way for her to transcode them? Or should I bite the bullet, do it myself, and resend? (Many gigabytes, so it's a bit of a hassle.) However, it seems that iMovie & Quicktime can only handle AVCHD files when they're in their AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM folder hierarchy, if that. mts files, which is all I need to edit them on my end. I sent a friend some raw AVCHD footage from a concert (1080p 24 from a GH2).
