How to import/edit MVI files in Pinnacle Studio flawlessly?

How can I convert .MVI files so that they can be used in Pinnacle Studio?

I either need a free downloadable programme that will allow me to convert the full length of the videos, or I need a different Pinnacle Studio that will allow .MVI format files. Any suggestions?

As you see, some Canon digital still cameras (Powershot A75, A63, S410 etc), are capable of shooting a limited amount of video, since there is no tape, it is saved as an MVI file format. However, the MVI file format is not compatible with other programs. Even windows media player refuse to play MVI file. Besides, editing software like Windows movie maker and Pinnacle Studio do not work with the format. Because of this, the files need to be converted to a format that is more widely used, such as AVI so that these videos shot with still camera can be played and edited as easily as other common videos. This guide is to tell how to do that. Read the rest of this entry »

How-To: Import/Edit Sony HDR-SR11 AVCHD files into Avid Media Composer under Mac OS X?

Question: How to import AVCHD to Avid?

On Wednsday, I’m going to start filming my short film. I was originally going to use Final Cut Pro, but now that I have learned Avid, I think I have enough confidence to edit a short film with Avid. The problem is… I’ve never edited AVCHD before.

So my question is, how would I go about bringing the AVCHD files from the SD card into Avid to edit? I know these files aren’t directly editable. We will be using a Sony HDR-SR11 by the way.

Along with the DVD-recording HDR-UX1, the SR1 compresses video in AVCHD, the new high definition format that, for the first time, allows consumers to leave tape behind. However the fact is that there is few even no 3rd party support is yet available for editing. Accroding to my experience, Avid Media Composer doesn’t work with well with the SR1 AVCHD files. And the highly-compressed content are not so friendly for almost all editing softwares. How to get Avid Media Composer work perfectly with AVCHD footage? A best way is to convert the AVCHD files to QT MOV, something that Avide MC supports along with some help from the third-party tool.

In order to transcode Sony HDR-SR11 AVCHD files to Avid Media Composer for editing on the Mac, we need a AVCHD Converter Tool. Video Converter Application varies. However, when it comes to handling camcorder 1080p AVCHD MTS/M2TS recordings for video editing programs(e.g. Avid, Windows Movie Maker, Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas, Ulead VideoStudio Plus, Pinnacle Studio, CyberLink PowerDirector), a Mac AVCHD to MOV Converter for Avid, entitled Pavtube Video Converter for Mac stands out from the rest. Specially designed for video zealots who use Mac OS, the program can achieve all kinds of Video Recodification tasks. It can help you fast convert AVCHD .MTS or .M2TS to MOV for importing to AVID Media Composer. Read the rest of this entry »

How to import Canon XF300 MXF video to Cyberlink PowerDirector for editing? 

Although Canon claims that its flavor of MXF is fully supported by major NLE systems including Adobe Premiere, Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer, and Grass Valley EDIUS, we don’t see Cyberlink PowerDirector here. So it’s understandable that PowerDirector refuses to load .mxf shootings from a XF300 camcorder. It does not matter if you’d like to edit Canon .mxf footage in PowerDirector though, as long as you have the Pavtube HD Video Converter software. The Pavtube HD Video Converter software easily converts universal MXF videos originated from Canon XF, Panasonic P2 and Sony XDCAM cams into AVI, MOV, MPG, TS, etc for editing and streaming.

Top Mac MXF to FCE Converter – Transcode Panasonic AJ HPX300 P2 MXF files to AIC for FCE Editing on Mac OS X Lion

Convert P2 MXF files to AIC – Import Panasonic AJ HPX300 P2 MXF to Final Cut Express for editing on Mac OS X Lion

The Panasonic AJ HPX300 P2 Camcorder is a 1/3″ CMOS camera featuring full resolution 1920×1080 chips. The P2 card is a new solid state recording media that Panasonic developed to bridge the gap between information technology and professional video. About the same size as a PC card, the P2 card stores large amounts of video and audio data in MXF-format files. 

It is a common sense to Final Cut Express users that video shootings should be ingested to FCE from Log and Transfer window. However, this doesn’t work with the Panasonic AJ HPX300 P2 which recorded MXF files. There is solution, of course, to help you transfer MXF footage to Final Cut Express. The next few steps will show you how to do with Sony XDCAM, Panasonic P2 series and Canon MXF shootings (taken with Canon XF100, XF300, or XF305), before importing the Panasonic AJ HPX300 P2HD footage to Final Cut Express.

Before processing, you’re suggested to

1. Transfer the .mxf clips from Panasonic AG-HPX300 P2 card to Mac computer.

2. Install Pavtube MXF to FCE Converter for Mac os x Lion (Recommended, now on sale at the company’s site through Nov. 22, 2011 if you choose this option.).

Guide: Transcode/Convert Panasonic AJ HPX300 P2 MXF to Apple ProRes Intermediate Codec for FCE editing

Step 1. Launch the Mac Lion MXF to AIC Converter for FCE. Click “Add” and browse to a Panasonic P2 .mxf clip and the software will add it to file list. Repeat the operation to load multiple .mxf videos.

Step 2. Click on “Format” and choose “iMovie >> Apple Intermediate Codec (*.mov)“.

Step 3. Click “Convert” to start converting Panasonic AJ HPX300 P2 MXF to Apple Intermediate Codec videos. After conversion click “Open” to find .mov videos and import converted mxf files to Final Cut Express for editing.

Tip 1: The ingested Panasonic P2 XF files could be significantly larger than the original files, which has a much higher compression ratio than that of Apple Intermediate Codec. To reduce file size, you could click “Settings” and adjust bitrate(from 1Mbps to 20Mbps)per your requirement. You can also set a different video resolution (1920×1080/1440×1080/1280×720/720×480) and frame rate (24p/30p) as long as you like.

Tip 2: Video and audio are separate when it comes to MXF, don’t drop the Audio folder when loading .mxf files to MXF Converter for Mac, as the software will detect and find audio for corresponding video clips automatically.

Tip 3: After conversion you should import Panasonic AG-HPX300 XF footage from “File >> Import>> Files” instead of Log and Transfer window.
