Q: The most suitable conversion?

Hi, when converting I always feel lost. No clue what to click and un-click.

 

I am about to convert a project lasting for about 15 minutes. It is shot in:

AVCHD,

aspect ratio: 16:9.

Record setting: 24p 24M(FX) Running on NTSC

1920 x 1080

 

But in FCE it is written 29,97 fps

compressor: apple intermediate codec

audio rate: 48,0 KHz

 

I will not upload it to the net, only play it from a USB-stick on a pc (not mac) displayed at a large TV-screen.

 

All the best

    Unfortunately, FCE doesn't support 24 fps. You could rely on FCE to convert the clips. If the results aren;t satisfactory, you could instead convert them in MPEG Streamclip (free)  or Apple Compressor ($50) and then import the reformatted clips into FCE. Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) is the editing codec that FCE converts AVCHD to.

     

    For exporting 1090 to the Web, you want H.264 – either in a MOV or MP4 wrapper. A reasonable bit rate would be around 10 Mb per second.

     

    Good luck.

    Thanks a lot Russ. I felt the result was o.k. but by no means perfect. If I have not switched to another editor when doing the next bigger project I will try what you suggest using MPEG Streamclip.
