Tobias Holm, Well, the biggest problem is that it splits 2Gb files, so you need to ``cat`` them into one. And for me that's not a problem, but for my girlfriend it is :-) Also to copy those files you need to find them first. And again -- it's not a problem for me, but for my girlfriend it's so much easier in iMovie to just see "hey, I see your camera, here's a list of previews of videos in it, choose those you want to import".
Also, of course, if your camera is making high definition videos it would be nice to convert it to some smaller format, but that's another bug (maybe in future). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenShot Developers, which is subscribed to OpenShot Video Editor. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/731148 Title: Advanced Import from Videocamera Status in OpenShot Video Editor: Triaged Bug description: Hi! I've got a camera which has kind of this struct: AVCHD/ BDMV/ .../ STREAM/ 00000.MTS 00001.MTS 00002.MTS 00003.MTS ... So these *.MTS files are actually a movies. And to import it you can simply copy it to your hard drive. But there are some problems with that. 1. It's not so simple for users, would be better to have openshot button "import from camera" that shows all videos with previews and dates, asks where to import (sometimes it's a hard drive). 2. Cameras use fat32 (I think) and when video is too large -- it's splitted to 2Gb files. So when importing you should find 2Gb files as 1 video and do "cat 00003.MTS >> 00002.MTS" on import or something like that. Hope that one day I will start implementing this feature myself :-) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot/+bug/731148/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openshot.developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openshot.developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
