Hey guys H264 is AVCHD

[Jon Fairhurst]

I believe that all AVCHD is h.264, but not all h.264 is AVCHD.

Canon DSLRs don't shoot AVCHD.

Ok good luck, try 60d standard-hv40 tv mode daylight wb...

Also 60d neutral kelvin 3900,-hv cinemode 25p + on custom settings, daylight wb or custom.

Avids DNxHD is free and works great. Learning curve from elements to cs5 isn't too bad either

Hey Luke thanks for your input, so do you think if i get cs5 i can work similar to prem 8, with it being adobe i suppose there would not be that much difference? steve

[Lisa Maxwell]

I like the style and the way you edited around the music. Did you use black and white because the colors of the HV40 didn't match with the 60D?

[Steve Bleasdale]

Not really Lisa just like to use black White a lot as it gives a rich feel. But yes its a good idea to do that I suppose. Steve

what's up Steve....you can try Canopus Procoder 3 its very easy to use and the quality is great although we just made the switch to CS5 to save us the trouble of transcoding :)

Hi Steve,

when you say CS5, what program are you talking about ? PP or AE ?

As far as I know, neither do any transcoding, so you won't find anything faster in the editing process.

As for the 60D, it is AVCHD footage from what I've read on a number of forums in the last few months.

If you are using Premiere Pro version 5.03 or later, and you have a CUDA supported video card, then you will find your system is a 100x faster, because any of the footage you put on the time line is basically pre-rendered, thank Adobe for this amazing technology, for supported Nvidia CUDA cards that take advantage of Adobe's Mercury engine.

I've seen this in action, and it's mind blowing, how fast it is. With a video card that doesn't support CUDA, it's extremely slow, add in an Nvidia CUDA supported card that Adobe supports, and all of a sudden, your time line is rendered, you can add many many many layers of video, 20 layers of graphics, and the time line is still rendered and plays back in real-time. It's just amazing.

Sorry to lead you up the garden path!!! Guess you need to use Neoscene??? I had both, hence the suggestion...Neoscene will do MOV as far as I know!!
