November 5 2015

Summary: I want to upload MTS videos recorded by JVC EX310 to Vimeo, but I don’t know how to edit them. Is there any document can help me?

Vimeo is the first video sharing site to support consumer HD. All vimeo videos are encoded into H.264 for HTML5 support. A large number of photographers upload thousands of HD videos to Vimeo every day, and users of JVC EX310 are part of them. The picture of JVC EX310 is Full HD and the video formats are AVCHD, MTS, etc. Most owners of JVC EX310 wanna edit and upload the MTS format footage to Vimeo for sharing with their fans, but they failed to upload to Vimeo on Mac OS X El Capitan, problem like this:

I tried to make sense of the video on .mts conversion but to be honest I'm lost. I don't know what piece of software you're using to convert the file - did I miss the narrator mention it? – Vimeo Forum

The reason is MTS is not supported by open source decoders. We just need to transcode the MTS footage to the format which Vimeo can support. I have a good converter for you after Google it. – FFmpeg. FFmpeg is an open source project and support multiple platforms – Mac, Linux, etc. However, the quality of HD videos converted by FFmpeg could be lost, it’s not perfect. There is another professional video converter highly recommended for you -Pavtube Video Converter for Mac. This application can not only help you transcode MTS videos to Vimeo losslessly, but also split/cut/edit them before uploading them. This program also support to batch convert files. This feature will save much time for you. If you’re a Windows user, pls check Pavtube Video Converter. Now you can download and try it from links below:

Step by Step to Show You How to Split/Cut/Edit JVC EX310 MTS for Uploading to Vimeo without quality loss

Step 1. Load MTS files to the software

Click "Add Video" or "Add from folder" button on the top menu to browse and choose MTS footage you want to convert.

Step 2. Choose the proper output format – MP4

For uploading videos to Vimeo, just click on the format bar and go to the "Format" bar and choose "HD Video" > H.264 HD Video (.mp4)" as the output file format for uploading to Vimeo.

Step 3. Edit MTS files with video editor

Before converting and uploading MTS to Vimeo, you can use the video editor to do some pre-editing work like cutting unwanted segments, splitting annoying black edges in your videos, add watermarks for remarks or fun, add special effects, etc.

Step 4. Adjust parameters of your H.264 videos if you need

Actually, the default settings of this "H.264 HD Video (*.mp4)" option is already the best choice. But for some users whose videos are 4K and want to maintain the 4K quality, clicking "Settings" to make the default Size (pix) to 3840*2160 will realize this goal. You can type this parameter after the Size (pix) box to replace the 1980*1080.

Step 5. Start converting MTS to MP4

Click on the big red "Convert" button in the mail UI to start the conversion. You can find your videos by clicking "Open" button. Then you can upload converted MTS footage to Vimeo. That’s it. Enjoy!
