Pinnacle Studio 11 and HD

[leachim]

I have just bought an HD camcorder which saves to SD card (Sony HDR CX6)

I also have Pinnacle Studio 11 Plus

Can this program edit and create HD files (ending in mts or m2ts ?)

No doubt if I ask Pinnacle, they will easily say - yep, all you need to do is send us more money to download another activation key.....

Any thoughts

Thanks

It does, though I'm not sure about the extensions mts and m2t though I know m2t is a supported import format. You can produce HD 720P, 1080i and HDV2 1080i MPEG-2 files, also 1280x720 DivX(avi) and 1280x720 MPEG-4 files if the input file is also HD, and finally there is a bunch of different HD output dimensions and framerates to choose from in the windows media format. If I remember correctly the MPEG-4 codec needed to be activated (DivX also??) but that didn't cost anything unlike the many special effects or adjustment filters Pinnacle wants payment for.

Ideally you'll use a 512 mb video card, 256 may still work but possibly not display a video picture in the preview window when editing.
