File Conversions Done!

So I finally found all older MTS files (one batch I hadn't saved to disc and was stashed on my computers internal drive). Wow- this was alot of work! It wouldn't have been a such a big deal, but I realized AFTER I had converted all the Canon HF-G10 .mts files to .mov files  that I had to re-do everything with the Brorsoft MTS conversion program. As I was editing a friends wedding video, I noticed occasion frame duplication, meaning I done a proper 30 fps to 24fps conversion. Better then than after I was halfway through editing Rats & Gassers! Now everything works and looks perfect and I can finally dig in. 

Brorsoft MTS Converter

Been using the Brorsoft MTS Converter program for Mac the last week. Works really well for getting Canon HF-G10 MTS files into usable .mov files for Final Cut Pro. It has a really cool function of combining multiple MTS files into one big file. This is useful as the final Brorsoft converted files still get a prompt from Final Cut Pro about the files not being completely compatible (though they play and render just fine) on the FCP timeline. This means I still have to run the Brorsoft Converted Files through MPEG Streamclip to get the perfect FCP compatible files, but they look and play better than the multi-step process I was using before.
