I created a 15s video with the Panasonic HDC-DV1 to test out some different settings.
No matter how I set up the templates when I try and export it seems to run successfully, you can see the .MPG file that it is creating in the directory, then it finishes and the file is deleted. No error message.
If try I and create a DVD instead in chugs on it for ahwile and then an error box pops up, which says "unspecified error". This also happens no matter how I set the template settings.
Has anyone had success using this software with video content generated by the new Panasoic cameras?
Problems working with Panasonic HDC-DV1 AVCHD files
VideoStudio 11+ can import the .m2t files (H264) directly into the timeline from your hardisk or import them the same as MF6+.
Exporting them out to a compatible editable format can be somewhat tricky if you haven't worked with the hd-mpeg2 format very much.
Experience is the best teacher. I would start by working with short clips of about 2-3 minutes each.
You can use "Share -> Create Video File -> HD_DVD 1440
or
"Share -> Create Video File -> HDV -> HDV1080i (HDV) which yields 25000kbs (TransportStream Format - TS), mainly used for writing back to tape.
"Share -> Create Video File -> HDV -> HDV1080i (For PC) which yields 25000kbs (Program Stream Format - PS), Most common for general playback.
or
"Share -> Create Video File -> Custom & set all the parameter settings the same as exporting in MovieFactory 5 or 6.
or
"Share -> Create Video File -> "YOUR HDV TEMPLATE"

Also read this post for more detailed instructions on how to import from a avchd device: VideoStudio11+ AVCHDTools -> Make Movie Templates Manager -> Mpg Format -> Compression tab = MPEG2 (then set all the encoding parameters appropriately) save this template and apply it when going to "Share -> Create Video File -> Your Template".
