I can view a video in HD on my camcorder yet when I transfer it into a project for editing it is no longer in HD. The file is MP4. The camcorder video is AVCHD Progressive 50p so understand this is the correct software.
I have a Samsung computer with Windows 8.
Please can you help? I am not very techy so laymans terms would be great.
"The HC-V10 digital camcorder records crisp, clear High Definition video (1280 x 720) in two formats for greater flexibility. Utilise MP4 recording for broad compatibility and high compression to create small, easy-to-share files."
No mention of AVCHD that I can find. The camear may well say 'HD' on the side but it is not full HD 1920 x 1080.
