There is not consistency in the way the PsF files are flagged (identified) among AVCHD manufacturers, so even though some PsF files (benign PSF) are properly recognized as progressive by some very recent software editing programs (i.e.

In the meantime, here is a short review of those AVCHD weaknesses:Ĭurrent AVCHD cameras (even professional ones) have chosen to record using lame FAT32 formatting, which unnecessarily forces the creation of multiple sequential files for long clips, which is a mess to view and manage at a system (“Finder”) level, and (without special workarounds in the software editor) requires manual rejoining of said sequential clips.ĭue to its heritage in the Blu-ray format, instead of simply recording video files, all current AVCHD cameras (even professional ones) record video files in a strange hierarchy of folders and subfolders, which are also a mess to view and manage at a system (“Finder”) level.Īlso due to its heritage in the Blu-ray format, 1080/25p and 1080/29.97p are not specifically valid, so all current AVCHD cameras (even professional ones) are unfortunately forced to record 1080/25p as 1080/25PsF, and 1080/29.97p as 1080/29.97PsF. The terms benign PsF and malignant PsF were introduced in Part 1 of this series called PsF’s missing workflow.Ī summary of AVCHD’s multiple weaknesses for anyone who plans to edit the footageįor all of the details, please read (or review) parts 1-7 of this PsF’s missing workflow. Now in #8, I’ll reveal how the US$49.99 middleware known as ClipWrap will be the cure-all for all of AVCHD’s multiple weaknesses, including both types of PsF, at least in the short term.

In #7, I covered how to deal with PsF on a progressive sequence in Premiere Pro CS5.5. In #6, I published an open letter to all pro AVCHD manufacturers.
In #5, we revealed how one recorder manufacturer is offering its own “Band-Aid” software to counteract the inappropriate signals offered over HDMI by many camera manufacturers.
In #4, we did the same with several HD video recorders from 6 different manufacturers. In parts 1-3 of the PsF’s missing workflow series, we introduced the terms benign PsF & malignant PsF, and revealed the PsF status of several professional AVCHD cameras from 3 manufacturers (Canon, Panasonic, and Sony).
