CLIPWRAP 2 PRO
(Premiere Pro wasn’t on my radar at that time…sorry Adobe) So I tried to tackle it with ClipWrap, which had recently come out with an update. Anything over, would take HOURS to import. If a clip was shorter than 5 min, all was good. Of course, FCP 7 had issues bringing this in. A producer of mine bought the brand new Sony NX camera and shot a pilot with it.
If I had to rely on the camera makers and editing software companies…I’d be waiting a long time before things would work.įor example…quick story. Which was very helpful for those times your producer buys the latest camera, shoots a sizzle reel, and then needs you to edit it right away. What was great about ClipWrap is that Mike, the main guy over at Divergent Media, seemed to always be on top of the new formats, and would release updates to ClipWrap much faster than the camera makers would release plugins. So when a new camera was released that shot AVCHD…it utilized a different AVCHD format than the editing software was used to and so it wouldn’t be able to import footage from that camera until the application was updated, more more likely, a new plugin was released by the camera makers to allow the editing software to see the footage. Every single camera maker had their own variant of AVCHD. Yes, many editing software applications had the ability to import AVCHD and convert it…but the issue with the AVCHD standard is that, well, there was no standard. You could either re-wrap it as MOV and still retain the H.264 codec, just in another wrapper…or convert it to various flavors of ProRes, DNxHD…DVCPRO HD, Apple Intermediate Codec, HDV, XDCAM or DV….editing codecs that many editing systems preferred, because H.264 can be difficult to work with. This application (Mac only, sorry Windows), in case you didn’t know, converted AVCHD. It is a sad thing to see this go…it has been one of the most useful software tools in my kit for many many years, it not the most useful. On Tuesday, July 28, 2016, ClipWrap from will no longer be available for purchase.
