Convert HDC-HS900 AVCHD editing for Avid Media Composer
Panasonic HDC-HS900 is a Full HD 1080 60p/50p camcorder that records to a large, built-in 220GB HDD or to SDHC/SDXC memory cards. It features Panasonic’s advanced 3MOS system comprising a Leica Dicomar 12x optical zoom lens with large f/1.5 aperture and 35mm wide-angle, 3MOS sensor, and Crystal Engine Pro to produce vibrant and sharp HD video, and high-resolution 14.2 megapixel still images. However, the new 60 progressive recording mode with 28Mbps is not friendly for post-production. Over majority non-linear editing software, including the Avid systems do not use the same native AVCHD .mts format as Panasonic HDC-HS900 memory cards, and you have to transfer shootings from HDC-HS900 to PC and have the footage converted into popular video format in order to edit the HDC-HS900 videos.
Here’s a simple and quick workaround for getting Panasonic HDC-HS900 video into Avid Media Composer:
4. Select a proper format from the drop-down list of “Format” bar. To make HDC-HS900 footage be compatible with Avid, you’re advised to select “Avid Studio>> Avid DNxHD 1080p(*.mov)” format.
5. Press on the big “Convert” button to transcode HDC-HS900 footage into Avid editable format.
When conversion completes you can find converted video by clicking “Open” button. After being converted to “Avid DNxHD 1080p(*.mov)” format the HDC-HS900 footage can be imported to Avid Media Composer instantly.
Tip:
1. This Panasonic AVCHD Converter also works with HD videos from other Panasonic 900, 800, 700, 600 series: TM900, SD900, SD800, TM700, HS700, SD700, SD600.
2. If you’d like to set output video resolution, bitrate, frame rate, etc, simply press “Settings” to custom output settings.
