Converting Damaged Files with ClipWrap

Occasionally when using ClipWrap, you’ll run into a file that will fail to convert and will instead display an “err parsing file” message. We’ve found that these errors are almost always due to one of two things.

Optimizing ClipWrap for Premiere Pro CS6

We’ve recently released ClipWrap 2.5.8, which includes some enhancements for workflows that involve Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.

If your workflow involves using rewrapped files inside Premiere Pro CS6, there’s a tweak you can make to ClipWrap which will enhance performance even further.

Open Terminal (in the Utilities folder, inside Applications) and run this command:

defaults write -app clipwrap iMovieAVCHD YES

After executing that, files rewrapped by ClipWrap will have much faster thumbnail indexing in Premiere, and much more fluid timeline skimming.

If you ever need to disable this feature (it can cause glitches when using files in versions of Final Cut Pro X prior to 10.0.5) run this command:

defaults write -app clipwrap iMovieAVCHD NO

Understanding Audio

Until recently, audio in the digital video world was about as simple as can be. Whether you were shooting DV or DigiBeta, DVCProHD or Digital8, you were recording your audio as something called Linear PCM. As with everything else in this mixed up, modern world, things have gotten a bit more complicated. This blog post will introduce you to the exciting world of digital audio.

Using ClipWrap with OS X 10.8

If you’ve upgraded to OS X 10.8 (“Mountain Lion”), you’ve probably noticed that AVCHD content is handled a bit differently than in previous versions of OS X. Depending on your workflow, this may require that you change your process a bit when working with ClipWrap. This post will walk you through those changes.

We’ve just release ClipWrap 2.5.3. The full release notes are available below.

ClipWrap 2.5.3 only runs on Intel Macs running Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8. We’ve made made this switch in order to support the Gatekeeper function within Mac OS X 10.8 (“Mountain Lion”).
