Converting AVCHD to p-2
Anyone converting AVCHD to P2? I downloaded the free Panasonic tool to make it smoother editing in CS5. but when I converted the footage it did edit smoother BUT it was at a weird resolution it was like 1280 X1080 or something like that. Any other ways to convert it?

I thought CS5 was absolutely capable of editing AVCHD?

I got ya your right DVCpro HD. CS5 is capable but its not a smooth editing experience. DVCpro HD is MUCH smoother for me its worth the quality loss. I thought I may have been doing something wrong.

If you want to keep the full resolution of your AVCHD video and still have a smooth editing experience while editing with Premiere, Vegas, or Final Cut Pro, you should take a look at the Cineform NEO SCENE software.
You can download a trial from: Cineform Neoscene |

ya know I took the files that I converted and brought them into Edius and Edius said they were full rez. I brought them into CS5 and they said they were 1280X1080. I think its just a misreporting thing on CS5. I tried Cineform more than once and unless im doing something wrong I have nothing but issues with it. I just downloaded the latest demo and the audio was messed up plus when I tried to drop in a effect it crashed.

o.k. I have more questions. 1. Is there a better AVCHD to DVCpro HD converter? When I convert the files instead of getting stereo audio I get dual mono which means I need to "unlink" every clip before I can seperate the audio also it makes me drag it in on tracks 3 & 4.

What hardware are you using? What software? Was NEO SCENE properly installed? ( i.e. Did it ever work properly on your system ? ) |

I have tried it over the years on a number of systems. Currently I am running it(demo) on a i-7 920 with a gigabyte MB and 6 gigs of ram under Windows 7 64. I am running CS5 I think the issue may be that I use a black magic intensity pro board and maybe Cineform is not compatibile.
