Best H.264 to Apple Prores 422 Converter with timecode




Q:
 I sought so much advice beforehand, and decided to convert my 80+ hours of H.264 documentary footage to ProRes to make the edit easier. I am using Tipard HD Video Converter for Mac, but it doesn't keep my timecode for FCP ? So I'm asking is it possible to get the best h.264 to apple prores 422 converter with timecode preserving? 


Nowadays more and more popular DSLR cameras and AVCHD camcorders has come out the record footage is often in H.264 codec. And a common sense is that the H.264 is not really an editing-friendly codec and that is the reason why we go from H.264 to Apple ProRes 422 and other less-compressive codecs. 


Apple ProRes is a line of intermediate codecs, which means they are intended for use during video editing, and not for practical end-user viewing. ProRes is a lossy video compression format developed by Apple Inc. for use in post production in Final Cut Pro 6 and later on versions (FCP 7 & FCP X). ProRes 422 is a DCT based intra-frame-only codec and is therefore simpler to decode than distribution oriented formats like H.264. 



To get H.264 video files work perfectly with Final Cut Pro, all you need to do is to convert the native footage from the H.264 to ProRes which is in higher quality and is less compressed. How do you convert H.264 to ProRes codec


Well, there are MANY ways to do this. You can use Final Cut Studio's Compressor software – I create droplets and drop my files onto them. It's good. But some of you may not own Final Cut Studio… Well I recommend you look into the utility that has quickly become my absolute favorite way of converting my footage: 

Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac ($35) - an easy to use and user-friendly tool. 



It's also often faster than Compressor and is much cheaper. With it, you can transcode H.264 to a FCP compatible Prores .mov format on mac quickly and easily with retaining the timecode for FCP . Before converting, pls download and install the first-class HD Video Converter for Mac from Pavtube. 


Step-by-step guide to learn how to convert H.264 to Prores 422 for FCP with keeping timecode. 

Step 1. Download and install the H.264 to Prores 422 Converter with timecode on your Mac. Launch it and import your h.264 .mov/.mts/.mp4 clips into it. 
 




Step 2. Choose Apple Prores as output for FCP. 



Click on "Format", follow "Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)" format for native importing and editing in FCP. 

 




Step 3. Click on Settings to adjust audio and video parameters including video size, video frame rate, bitrate, sample rate, audio channel. 

Step 4. Start transcoding h.264 to Prores 422 by clicking on "Convert" button. 

After the conversion is done, you can easily import h.264 footage into FCP X with retaining timecode. 

Refer to the picture below to see how this cool mac H.264 converting tool keep the timecode for FCP. It is not difficult to find that the timecode is kept.

So the issues are coming: Editing our H.265/HEVC in some NELs such as Premiere Elements must not be easy. To tell you’re the truth, that’s the purpose we write this article. 

 

You may be wrong if you think H.265/HEVC videos only refused by Premiere Elements. As the new codec, H.265 is not friendly with Adobe Premiere ProAvid MC etc. Also, some changes you may need to do if you wanna enjoy H.265 movies on handle devices such as iPhone 6. What a pity is until now, these popular NELs still have no capacity of editing the H.265/HEVC codec. However, we also have the good news, some H.265 encoder/decoders can also make the job smoothly work well in Premiere Elements. 

Expand knowledge: Higher quality Smaller Size—-That’s the most important point that H.265/HEVC brings to us. 

In order to fulfill the task of importing H.265/HEVC recordings to Premiere Elements, here you are fortunately to have the Pavtube Video Converter, which is upgraded to the newest version to supportencoding/decoding the H.265/HEVC videos nicely. Naturally speaking, this H.265 encoder can easily convert our H.265 to the Premiere Elements most suitable formats, MPG, MOV or WMV. What’s more, even on the latest Mac OS X Yosemite operation, we can work it well. 

Guide: Let me show you how to convert H.265/HEVC to MPG, MOV or WMV for Premiere Elements. 
Step 1. Add your original files 
As soon as you launch the H.265 encoder/decoder, we suggest you to add your files for the first step, ‘Add video’ and ‘Add from folder’ can be your good choices. 

 

Step 2. Select the right output for Premiere Elements 
Open the output list through the ‘Format’ bar, then drop down the list. Nearly on the bottom of the list, choose the ‘Adobe Premier Pro/Sony Vegas’ item. Here, we can choose the ‘MOV’, ‘WMV’ or ‘MPG’ as our best. 

 

Step 3. Optional function: Adjust the video and audio parameters, including the Bitrate of Video & Audio, Video Size, Sample Rate, Frame Rate, Audio Channels, etc., by clicking the Settings button on the main interface for getting the best quality.

Comparison of Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan and 10.10 Yosemite





Compare to the previous generations of Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite, there are many new welcome features in 10.11 El Capitan. Fortunately, Mac users are able to upgrade to the new El Capitan for free or easily partition Mac to install both El Capitan and Yosemite for conveniently switching one to another. Following article will make a detailed comparison of El Capitan and Yostemite in many mayor aspects. 

Pavtube has upgraded with El Captian support for all its Mac Blu-ray/DVD/Video products. 

 

Performance in El Capitan VS Yosemite 

Apps in El Capitan will load apps up to 1.4 times faster and switching between apps will be twice as fast. Compare that to Yosemite: since its introduction many Mac users have been painfully aware of lags and slowdowns, such as stuttering animations and network connectivity issues. We experienced nothing like this in El Capitan. 

Look and feel in El Capitan vs Yosemite 

OS X El Capitan's user interface use a variation of the San Francisco font that was introduced with the Apple Watch and also features the iOS 9. San Franciso is much more Retina-friendly compared to Yosemite's use of Helvetica Neue. 

Force Touch trackpad support was introduced with Yosemite and in El Capitan there's additional setting within the Trackpad pane of System Preferences to deactivate the click noise. Referred to as Slient Clicking, this somehow doesn't compromise the degree of feedback, which is still handled via the Click slider. 

The El Capitan bar can now autohide via a setting in the General pane of System Preferences, in the same way that the Dock can dive out of the bottom of the screen in Yostemite and earlier releases of OS X. If you've used Full Screen mode in Yosemite then you'll already have experienced this feature but now it can be used all the time to gain a precious few centimeters of desktop space. 

Core tools in El Capitan vs Yosemite 

Safari: The new Safari on Mac OS X El Capitan is the perfect browser tool for your Mac device. The New Safari allows you to Pin your favorite websites, thus you can keep them opened, likewise you can mute audios without checking the tab from which the sound is coming from. The Develop menu of Safari, accessible via the Advanced pane within Safari's Preferences, now features a cool Responsive Design mode that lets you switch the web page to dimensions used on various Apple devices. 

Mail: As with Safari, feature additions in Mail within El Capitan are subtle compared to Yosemite. With the new Swipe gesture and improved full screen support, you can now optimize the way you read or manage your mails better on Mac OS X El Capitan - you can use this feature as a quick correspondence handler, and also manage your contacts and calendar much better from your inbox. With one swipe, you can mark an email as read or unread. 

Notes: Notes in El Capitan is essentially a whole new app compared to Yosemite, featuring more control over text formatting. The app is also now a share destination from within other apps, so you can send a map location straight to a new note, for example, or even a file from Finder/the desktop. The Reminders app can also receive items in this way via its own new entry on the share menu. To gain access to the new notes features, make sure upgrade your Notes iCloud database when you first run Notes on El Capitan, but doing so also makes your existing notes instantly incompatible with earlier versions of Apple's operating system. 

Maps: The enhanced Maps available on Mac OS X El Capitan provides maximum public transit information you can ever ask for, thus you will never miss your way even in a big city. You will have access to in-built public transport maps, directions and schedules. With El Capitan, you can easily plan your route with just few clicks. 

System tools in El Capitan vs Yosemite 

Spotlight: The new Spotlight window introduced in Yosemite can be moved around in El Capitan by clicking and dragging. It can also be resized to show more than a handful of results. Spotlight in El Capitan can also respond to Siri-like queries, such as "photo from last November in Germany". 

Mission control: El Capitan also comes with a full screen tweaks and mission control features. The mission control displays the names of existing apps at the top of the screen page, and this has replaced the thumbnail feature on the Yosemite. 

Disk Utility: Disk Utility has been given a visual overhaul compared to Yosemite and now features a bar graph showing how full a partition is, and what kind of files are taking up the space. 

Disk Ultility: The Disk Utility has been given a visual overhaul compared to Yosemite and now features a bar graph showing how full a partition is and what kind of files are taking up the space. Disk repartitioning within Disk Utility is now handled via a more common sense pie chart representing the entire disk, with a handle on its border that can be dragged to resize individual partitions. 

Mac users who have upgraded to the new Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan may encounter with some video playing and editing issues since many video players or editing applications have not updated themselves with perfect support for this new OS. With Pavtube recently upgraded Mac products, you will get no problems to copy/backup 2D/3D Blu-ray/DVDdisc, convert and edit virtually any SD/HD/2K/4K video and audio formats on Mac OS X El Capitan.
