General Discussion - Let GoPro Hero3 60p MP4 work with Mac Premiere Pro CS6 jacknjchn - Thu Jan 17, 2013 11:47 pm Post subject: Let GoPro Hero3 60p MP4 work with Mac Premiere Pro CS6
GoPro Hero3 Black Edition is the most advanced GoPro, ever. No expense was spared during its development, resulting in a GoPro that is 30% smaller, 25% lighter and 2x more powerful than previous models. Wearable and gear mountable, waterproof to 197' (60m), capable of capturing ultra-wide 1440p 48fps, 1080p 60 fps and 720p 120 fps video and 12MP photos at a rate of 30 photos per second. However, its 1080 60p MP4 recordings don't work well with Adobe Premier Pro cs6 on Mac.
Last time when I still used Hero2, my Adobe Premier Pro cs6 have no problem at all, but since I use my hero3, my Adobe Premier Pro cs6 started to have lag for playback. Why? Help me! I can t edit my video if this problem not fix. It is about size of video hero3 or fps of video or my computer?
To solve the Hero3 video import problem, we did the tests. We played GoPro Hero3 1080p video in QuickTime, it plays smoothly, but in CS6 it lags when we play it back without even rendering it. Finally, we found out that if video more than 30fps will lag in Premier Pro. So, how to get GoPro Hero3 1080 60p MP4 files into Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 smoothly? We will need to reformat Hero3 1080@60p MP4 to MPEG-2, Adobe Premiere's best editing format, with 30fps, which will be much easier and faster to edit.
Tip: The top convert tool also can help you transcode any other file formats to any video as you need.
Step 2: Click the Format box; select Adobe Premiere/Sony Vegas> MPEG-2(*.mpg) as the best video format for Premiere Pro.
Step 3: To get a perfect video for editing in Premier Pro CS6(CS3/CS4/CS5/CS5.5 included), you d better press the Settings icon to set the video size as 1920*1080, frame rate as 30fps in the Profiles Settings panel.
Note: For MPEG-2(*.mpg) output format, 30fps is the highest frame rate which can be recognized in Adobe Premier Pro. If you really want to keep the original frame rate, you d better choose Adobe Premiere/Sony Vegas --> WMV (VC-1) (*.wmv) as the export format.
After the conversion, you can successfully copy GoPro Hero3 MP4 clips into Premiere Pro CS6 on Mac and edit GoPro Hero3 MP4 in Premiere Pro CS6 smoothly without lag or any other problem.

Locate Each Frame-Cut HDcam AVCHD clips Frame by Frame on Mac
MTS recordings from AVCHD camcorder are often highly compressed before stored, such a compressed movie contains key frames and non-key frames. Key frames can be displayed independently, while non-key frames can not be displayed without key frames. So such a functionality to locate and display every frame correctly, no matter key frame or non-key frame, is called frame accuracy (frame by frame). (Tip: Frame is one of the many single photographic images in a video.)
The Advantages of Frame Accuracy:
With Frame Accuracy, you can precisely start locating and displaying on desired frame; easily get exactly what you see or want. Without Frame Accuracy, you may lose the desire frame, or you may get SECONDS of frames you do not want before desired one.
When you are working on a movie or short film which requires accurate frame extracting from video stream, you need the ability to capture a precise single frame from a video file. You may ask such question: Is it possible to capture a frame from a video in any format? The answer is YES. And there are a lot of choices. If you're Mac user, you can use iMovie, one the best free video editing app that comes with your computer. Yet iMovie works only with a few video formats. Some AVCHD .mts and HD videos can not even be loaded to iMovie. Here's a new alternative for iMovie – the Pavtube Media Magician for Mac, which supports a variety of codecs and file types, including AVCHD, MTS, M2TS, TOD, MOD, MKV, MOV, AVI, MP4, ASF, DVD compatible MPEG files, flash videos and even protected TiVo recordings.
In terms of accurate editing, the Media Magician for Mac can show you all the frames in a video (like for example 24 frames in a 1 sec video) and then allow you to delete individual or more frames, add frames, split the video exactly between two frames you choose, join AVCHD/TOD/MOD videos seamlessly (without encoding). If you're looking for a Mac based video editor that cuts any video frame by frame, pick up this app.
Guide: How to cut AVCHD MTS file frame by frame with Media Magician for Mac
Step 1. Load video to Media Magician. Open up the software, and press the Open button to import video. You can either choose a single video clip or a folder that contains multiple videos to import. Imported videos are displayed in the media library area.
If your source video is saved on a camera/camcorder HDD, just connect the cam to Mac and the software will pop up a wizard for you to capture AVCHD MTS/M2TS and TOD footage.
Step 2. Drag and drop video clip(s) to timeline. Just click on the video you'd like to edit and drag-and-drop it to the timeline at the bottom.
Step 3. Find a rough-cut point. Double-click on the video in timeline to play it. When it plays to where you'd like to cut/split the video, press pause button.
Step 4. Find an accurate-cut point. Move your mouse to playing area, and it will present you previous and next frames of current point. Use your mouse to select the frame that you'd like to cut at.
Tip: You can take snapshoot of the present frame by clicking the camera icon in player, so as to save the frame as still image.
Step 5. Press the scissor icon to split video by the specific frame you select.
Step 6. Remove unwanted frames.
Repeat the operations of Step three to five until you split the video into as many segments as you like. To delete unwanted segments, you may select them in timeline and press the trash icon.
Step 7. Click the Output button on the top and switch it to output interface.
Step 8. Create output task list. Decide your output format, choose it, and then click on the + sign to add it as a conversion task. You can add multiple tasks for batch conversion.
Step 9. Select the task(s) and click on the triangle sign to start encoding video.
Trick: The encoding process may take long time. In order to shorten the processing time, you may switch to "Lossless" tab and choose "original" or "MKV" as output format. This makes it possible to cut and join multiple MTS/M2TS/TOD/MOD videos together without encoding. Yet it does not work for AVI, MKV, MP4, MOV and other formats.
In this way you cut/split/trim HD video frame-by-frame and export self-made video for playing in iTunes, QuickTime as well as editing in iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Avid, etc – the Media Magician includes intermediate codecs (AIC and ProRes 422) that are naturally accepted by professional non-linear video editors. Also, it is able to access YouTube and upload your work for sharing.

Perhaps the hardest single thing about getting older is a loss of independence. A person who is getting older and has certain medical problems may have to give up driving rollers conveyors, which is a hard blow to take. Additionally, physical routines like climbing stairs, or even getting up out of a chain conveyors can become difficult or impossible. Fortunately, there are now a number of household devices that can prolong an elderly or disabled person s independence for as long as possible. Chairs that assist a person in standing up are available starting at prices around $600. Scooters and wheelchairs make it easier to move about than walking on unsteady feet.One of the greatest products designed to preserve independence in the elderly or disabled is the stair lift, which transports a person from the bottom of a staircase powered roller to the top and vice versa. Stair lifts come in two or three different types. Some are chairs attached to an aluminum track that is mounted directly onto the treads of a staircase, while others work on a rack and pinion system, and still others operate on a modified belt conveyorhoused alongside the stair banister.A stair lift can bring great peace of mind into a home whether the elderly or disabled person lives there alone or with others. The tracks are only a few inches wide, and the chair itself folds up flat against the wall when the lift is not in use, leaving the staircase perfectly usable by everyone else in the household.One of the best things about living in an age of advanced technology is that Roller Manufacturers devices appear that can be used to help people live as independently as possible. Whether it is a stair lift or a cell phone, the elderly, the disabled, and their families can greatly benefit from such assistive devices. The things that make everyday life easier for non disabled people often allow greater independence for those whose independence is limited by age, injury, or disease. A simple blood glucose meter, doorways wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair or walker, comfortable shoes, and laptop computers give people who have physical limitations the ability to move Tapered Roller about and communicate more easily. Often just the ability to quickly and easily communicate with loved ones is a great boost to the disabled person s morale.
