I had a page long write up - then accidentally exited out so excuse the quick post :(
You can find the .MTS files for your GH2 in the PRIVATE/ AVCHD/ BDMV/ STREAM
M-lion users look at Claybatt posting Access MTS in lion
In My quest to achieve the best quality from my Hack GH2, I have found that there are many workflows.
Ways to View/ Convert/ Tanscode/ Rewrap Ect- .MTS Files
My WorkFlow:
1st Step:
Download the AVCHD Plugin to be able to view .MTS files on Quicktime and work in FCP
(have not tested in M-lion osx)
2nd Step:
Use FCP Batch export Feature:
Open a new FCP project drag the . MTS files into FCP and Select them all and Batch Export -
set your Settings (for my files i used 1080 Pre Res 422 24p) and Boom goes the dynamite.
I dislike FCX sorry guys you're not on my level.
No color gama shift, no stutter, no weird artifacts frames, smooth she sails.
Tip:
When Exporting for web use this little guy
