    If you've removed your .MTS files from the card structure

    So I thought I was very clever when I pulled all of the .MTS essence files out of their cosy AVCHD wrappers a few months back and stored them in my own folder structure on our server.

    And then I started editing with FCP X which won't touch the files, unless they're wrapped in a container format (ie AVCHD.)

    If you've done the same thing, Panasonic have a nice bit of freeware to re-wrap, to save you buying ClipWrap or similar.

    Took me a while to find, so may be useful to you:

    They say it isn't compatible with Mountain Lion, but it has caused me no issues. When you run it, there are 3 options. I successfully used the option button labelled:

    "Restore the AVCHD folder from the stream files in the specified folder." When it says it has found an error in the folder and would you like it to fix it, hit OK and don't argue with it. Sanity restored.

    Phew...

    Interesting that even in FCP X they haven't made the workflow better..

      Nice to hear ou wasn't stuffed on that one Ben, I made that mistake on my GH1. I love that FCPX rewraps the AVCHD, great for archive.

        Just so you know, mate. I shot the MMA scenes and don't need any extra footage, London or otherwise. I'm good to go. Just editing the trailer now.

          Clipwrap can transcode to whatever without file structures.

            If you add an .mpg suffix to the .mts file, i.e. 0015.MTS.mpg, they show up in FCP X media import window.
