Though AVCHD is today’s format of choice in tapeless camcorders, it’s so highly compressed that some NLEs can’t play it back in real-time, if at all. The AVCHD UpShift tool quickly and easily decompresses AVCHD files into a format manageable enough for the wimpiest NLEs to handle. We’ll show you how in just 5 easy steps:
Imagine that you’ve just captured an AVCHD file called airplane.mts from your camera and want import it into your NLE.
When you launch AVCHD UpShift, you’ll see the media bins on the left, which display the files to be converted. Click the "Add File" button and browse to airplane.mts file, then click "Open".
If you have an HD camera that writes AVCHD format files, you may have already discovered that the AVCHD files are so powerfully compressed that today’s NLEs can rarely play them in real time, if at all.
Enter AVCHD UpShift. A collaboration of VASST expertise and NewBlue engineering, AVCHD UpShift decodes your footage once, so your NLE doesn’t have to do the heavy lifting. Use AVCHD UpShift to batch-convert your original AVCHD footage into high bitrate MPEG .m2t files, and then edit the files easily on any HD / MPEG2 capable NLE.
Video editors no longer have to wrestle with unwieldy AVCHD files thanks to AVCHD UpShift, software to assist video editors in AVCHD editing and process the latest generation of high definition video. A joint product from NewBlue, Inc., makers of NewBlueFX and VASST (Video, Audio, Software, Support, Training), AVCHD UpShift speeds workflow by converting AVCHD format files into HDV format files and allows for significant performance gains when editing AVCHD media on today’s PC-based video editing platforms.
"This application will make a tremendous difference in the AVCHD editing workflow of every editor. Compared to working with native AVCHD files, the workflow from AVCHD UpShift transcoded files is much faster and smoother." commented Douglas Spotted Eagle, Managing Producer of VASST.
