FS100 for dummies

Initial workflow for Pre Intel Mac

Streamclip doesnt work, voltaic doesnt work, handbrake not supported

Clipwrap -> Pro Res doesnt work

Clipwrap -> H264 -> streamclip -> prores works .. maybe

The 1080 25p file works but not the 1080 50/25 slomo clip

Hmm not pretty so far
 
Send a message to the clipwrap people and make sure to send them the mts file. Maybe it's just not being recognized properly.
 
If fs100 files are a little different, I'm sure clipwrap will have it by the time the camera is out. I was dubius as I still run a 2ghz G5 and all I've heard for the last year was that avchd was a no go even though I can handle h264 and the only difference was the wrapper. So I finally had a chance to demo a GH2, and downloaded clipwrap, and no problems. The transcode was a bit time consuming, but walk away and come back and everything is ready for your normal workflow. I normally just stick with AIC, as it is fine for what i do with hdv. I don't output for broadcast, so the data rate for prores 422 is overkill for me. I did test a clip to prores, and it went fine, just took longer.

I can see not upgrading your whole office if what you have is doing the job, but you may consider adding an iMac or macbookPro to deal with the avchd transcode, and final h264 outputs which are dog slow on the old PowerMacs even though they work fine for general editing.
 
Clipwrap sent me another version and it makes a pro res fine, but still broken by the 50/25 file

Speedwise ive been pretty happy with turning my Canon h264 file to prores using streamclip on my current maching

Of course I could upgrade my computer(s) - we even have a brand new machine right here in the office (not mine) but there are heaps of things to spend money on (like getting an EX3 which would play straight off the camera)

I dont tend to fix stuff till its broke
