HPX250: AVC-Intra & AVCHD Editing

[Scout Pro]

Best way to edit "A Cam" HPX250 AVC-Intra 50 with "B Cam" AC160 AVCHD in Premiere Pro CS6??

Some people say you can edit AVCHD directly; I prefer to transcode it. I use Prores for that, but you may prefer dnxhd or cineform.

 

[Neil Richards]

Use Edius, throw all of it directly onto the timeline together and edit it natively

 

[firehawk]

Can you throw it all into a premiere cs6 timeline and edit it together? Which project setting do you choose, avc-intra or avchd , when you open premiere?

 

[groveChuck]

In CS5, I would just choose whichever I had more footage of and choose that type project or timeline.

I have both CS5 and CS6 for Mac. But somehow AVC-I mixed w/ other codec resulted in red (needs rendering) on the sequence. Not using NVida certified GPU on CS5 or 6 - perhaps that's why there're red. This annoying GPU war is costing me a fortune. Getting a new Mac Pro these days come w/ ATI 5870. I don't see anyway of not including a video card in the Mac Pro. This is a cold Adobe & Apple war that's hurting end user's pocket book.

Just buy GrassValley Edius 6.5. I've install Bootcamp for clients Macs and everything is realtime. On my PC, I use a $100. graphics card, and all AVC codecs on the same timeline is realtime. In fact, any codec mixed is realtime. I don't know why more poeple are aware of Edius. I guess it's because GrassValley is used in very high-end pro stations, etc., and they don't care about college kids,etc. Almost all of ABC news in the field uses Edius.

Grass Valley does care about students, there is a heavily discounted Academic version that has all the features of the regular Edius but the license stipulates that it can't be used for commercial production.

I'll be trying the demo out for the Mac. If it's efficient in laptop and desktop, will seriously consider as a 2nd backup over the lame CS5&6's solution w/ their unbelievable hard to work "Audio Confirmation" whenever the media is taken from a laptop to desktop even it's on the exact same ext. hd. CS5-6 is just not flexible when it comes to working on different computers.

Best is to use the new Edit Button software

I'm testing Edius 6.5 with a new AVCHD camera and so far the results look very promising: I can play three layers of 1920x1080 footage (17 Mbps) with 33% opacity on the top two layers without running down the buffer, and render back out to AVCHD or H264 at 1:1 time... ...on my laptop.
