Select one and click on the ‘Convert’ button.ĬlipWrap’s preferences are plain and simple without the need for many alterations. However, if you wish to transcode the file at the same time, you are given several codec choices to choose from. ‘Rewrap’ in the Output Format section of the ClipWrap window is the default setting which will convert the MTS file to Quicktime. Additionally, clicking on the disclosure triangle next to each file will display much of the metadata associated with the clip. You can stack several files at once and either watch the process bar proceed or get yourself a speedy cup of java.

‘Blazing’ is a better term for it as a 20 second MTS file took 1 second to re-wrap into QT H.264 and 16 seconds to rewrap and transcode to Pro Res 422. While ClipWrap is not, at its origin, meant to transcode files, it is perfectly capable of doing so without generational loss. I set the destination where I wanted the converted file to be, clicked on the ‘Convert’ button and that was all I needed to do. It immediately took the file and waited for my instructions. Once installed I opened the application and dragged the MTS file over to ClipWrap window. Alternatively, you can click the plus sign at the lower left of the window to search for a file and add it, or use the minus symbol to delete a file that you have already brought into the window. It opens as a single window where you can then drag your existing MTS, M2t, or M2ts files. It is as intuitive as any application can be. There is no learning curve when using ClipWrap.

The download and installation was a simple and typical process as was registering my serial number. This is where ClipWrap comes in to save the day.ĬlipWrap works by unlocking that content and rewrapping the file into a standard Quicktime file. I’ve learned that no one size or application fits all. These transport files tend not to be suited well for post production, especially on a Mac.

A great many of today’s camcorders record to a variety of media types whether they be to hard-disk, Compact Flash or SD cards. Boy, was I wrong!ĬlipWrap is a Mac only application designed to make an HDV or AVCHD file compatible with your NLE application whether it be Final Cut Pro, iMovie, Avid, or Adobe Premier Pro. In the back of my mind I was thinking that if MPEG Streamclip couldn’t do it, then I doubted that ClipWrap would.

I hadn’t had the chance to install and test it out and here was the perfect opportunity presenting itself. I was stuck, until I remembered that I was sent Divergent Media’s ‘ClipWrap’ a few months ago. Bottom line was that MTS and M2T files are not directly playable on Macs but they do contain media that Macs can play, both MPEG-2 and H.264. What to do? I then tried Red Giant’s Magic Bullet Grinder, another excellent transcoding application, and the MTS file still could not be opened. This time, the MTS files given to me by a client wouldn’t even be accepted by MPEG Streamclip. Normally when given a video file that needed converting or transcoding before ingesting into Final Cut Pro I went to my old standby, MPEG Streamclip, a free downloadable application that has always worked for most everything I threw at it.
