Thanks for the great video!

Now i do have another question. coz i can import my files from the PRIVATE folder and those are 232 files... he only takes 72 files in the L&T... and the other ones i can t import... He always imports the same 72 files... and the rest i can t import??

Does anybody know why and how to get the other files on that same SD card as well????

Thanks :-)

@MysticViewVideo what editing software are you using?

You may want to try choosing just 50 or so clips at a time. Also make sure that you are saving the transcoded files to a separate external hard drive for safety.

I imported AVCHD thru Log and Transfer and FCP propose ProRes. Nice result, but files are very large (60 GB/ 01 hour). So, I tested a converter: short file but low resolution image. Are there other way to have good resolution and files not too big, because I bought a Panasonic HDC SD10 for shooting family moments.

best regards

@TERRAFIRMETV AVCHD is a compressed mp4 format. When you convert it to an i-frame codec such as ProRes, to edit, it will increase the file size as well. You can convert it to ProRes LT to save some space, but depending on your footage, it may decrease the quality.

man, very poor camera work.

[chicagoeditor]

@floridatvcrews I disagree.

[VincentVitiligo]

I DONT WANT TO WAIT FOR CONVERSION! That is not effective.

Nothing about TRANSFER TIMES though, even after mentioning how great ACVHD is for wedding videographers rushing to get their ceremony cuts out for the reception. Thankfully I don't have to worry about that, but what's the typical transfer rate for uncompressing of say 1hr of 1080i ACVHD to ProRes422 through l&t, with ie a Macbook pro 2.16 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. What about lower rez, or the effect of different frame rates. Thanks ahead for any insight..

@PumaM90 I was directing my comment to Bernie Mitchell, the gentleman featured in this interview. We went to high school together. We haven't seen each other since 1966; and, in my excitement, I wrote the comment thinking that he would be the one to see it. So, if you have a way of contacting him, I'd appreciate it. Thanks! My apologies for not paying attention to where my comment would actually go.
