I'm a newbie so go easy on me,
My friend is letting my borrow her Canon Camcorder Vixia HFS 10, it's pretty sweet. I have some recordings at around 30 seconds to a minute per video clip. Everything is fine before 30 seconds, but whenever I go past that 30s mark, I get some horrible lag, and I thought it was just AE but I think it stresses my whole system and I don't know why. I've been around google and seen topics of the format being supported or unsupported and I honestly get confused since I'm still figuring this out.
I'm on an Alienware laptop m17x. My specs are:
- Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M
- Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Windows 64 bit
I've recently upadted my graphics card drivers.
There are converters online but there's always just rendering it out in AE as a png sequence, but from a 300mb .mts file goes up 10,000 png images totalling up to 4gb for a 30 second 1080p clip. Plus I have to wait about an hour until after it's done rendering, a step I don't feel is necessary. I figured it's important to ask now rather than later before I start a collection of mts files I need to edit. What's causing these mts files to lag out after effects if I click around the timeline after 30 seconds? What are some alternatives without having to wait an hour per re-render or converter to another format and wasting work hours on waiting?
Any suggestions?
