LewS:Just to be clear. Avid did offer about 1/2 off of Media Composer to Liquid users originally. .... No disrespect intended but they (Avid) sure didn't notify me cuz I would have jumped on it at the time and never bought a Mac or FCP.  With two Liquid Pro licenses here one registered under Pinnacle and the other under Avid one would have ...

Smetvid: ......I will however need help from all of you.  In order to support the massive amount of different AVCHD formats out there I need to know exactly how each camera shoots.  What I need is a very small sample like a few seconds.  I also need to know what file structure is used on the SD cards.  This is super critical ...

Richard Gooderick: It sounds to me that you have committed to FCP.  I can't see any point in keeping Liquid. Not really.  The commitment is a commitment to learn it but within that is a new platform, a new methodology of processes, and an entirely different way of editing.  Things I like, things I don't like. However, we are ...

cmedico:  A RAID isn't going to help in conversation times. The processor is the bottleneck in the transcoding of H264 to another format.How complex of a project are you doing? If its simple cuts and transitions something like Studio could get you by till you found a more advanced solution. Studio 14 will edit AVCHD/H264 material. ...

Richard Gooderick:  I didn't realise that my Canon 5Dmk2 was an AVCHD camera but if the 7D is then it must be too. I've been using TMPG to import and convert the 5D files. Me either.  I thought they were just QT files (.mov)  Wow. Richard Gooderick:  I didn't realise that my Canon 5Dmk2 was an AVCHD camera but if the 7D is ...

priitp: At first I would like to thank drdimento for the AVCHD file.Some good news and in the end not so good news.......Using Avisynth and makeAVIS it is possible to import pretty much every format clips into Liquid.  We do play Red One camera files for example if we need it fast.  Priit Wow, thanks for the effort and also ...

cmedico:  . . .I put a title graphic between them so its easy to see the breaks between the scenes.... Awwww.  We wouldn't want that, in fact we more often want to put a couple scenes together at times.  However...... cmedico:....I use my laptop for the conversion. Its a 2.2ghz dual core intel. A minute of 720p video takes ...

cmedico: I have a couple of AVCHD cameras and I am using Studio 14 to convert to 30mb MPEG2.  I bring all the clips for a project into S14 and drop them on a timeline with slates between each one. I export as 30mb VBR MPEG and import into liquid. What do you mean put slates between them?  Also, how long does it take for them to ...

OK.  Got back from the movie and am in the process of uploading the folder from the camera as a zip file to ease in the downloading process.  The zip file is call AVCHD and the contents are the exact contents that are on the SDHC card from this test clip for this thread.  Sorry about using FC as an illustration but wanted to show ...

priitp:Can anybody share a short AVCHD file for testing purposes?Thanks,  PriitGoing to see 2012 and will upload some material after that if we make it back alive.  Sorry about the delay.
