I was asked recently with some questions about editing videos shot by Panasonic HDC-TM700K. Here I would like to share with you my experience about the movie formats and editing with Panasonic HDC-TM700.
Background Information:
Some may face problem when trying to import Panasonic HDC-TM700 MTS videos to editing applications like Avid Media Composer 5 Academic, Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere or even the Mac Kdenlive.
You may notice that Panasonic HDC-TM700 can record 1080/60p (Full HD 1920 x 1080, 60 Progressive Recording) videos with 60 images per second. And it is claimed that the 1080p Progressive Recording is to record smooth, highly detailed images with a moving picture resolution that exceeds Full HD from the Panasonic HDC-TM700K official site.
Question 1. How does the 1080p recording exceed Full HD?
- Answer: The current AVCHD-compliant standard formats include 1080/30p, 1080/24p, 1080/60i with up to 17Mbps. The 1080/60p (for American model) and 1080/50p (for European and Asian model) actually records more images per second, making high quality videos.
Panasonic HDC-TM700's Recording Format is:
1080 / 60p : MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 (original format)
HA / HG / HX / HE : MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 (AVCHD standard compliant)
More details about Panasonic HDC-TM700 are available at: http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/shop/Cameras-Camcorders/Camcorders/3-MOS-High-Def-Camcorders/model.HDC-TM700K.O_11002_7000000000000005702
Question 2. How to get the 1080p videos editable?
- Answer: You can free download Aunsoft MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac as the Panasonic TM700 AVCHD converter, and convert 1080/60p .mts to .mov for editing on Mac with Avid MC5, FCP, FCE, FCS, Adobe PPro.
To import AVCHD files from camcorder or SD card to Aunsoft MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac, just click the Add button and browse the .mts files from AVCHD > BDMV > STREAM.
The recommended output format is HD Video > H.264 HD Video(*.mov), and you can also choose Common Video > MOV - QuickTime(*.mov) as output format. Before the conversion, you can also set the video bit rate, adjust the frame rate to 60 for high quality video output.
