Restrictions During Preview

Preview of AVCHD video in the Log and Transfer window is limited to forward playback at 100 percent speed. When you scrub with the playhead, video is not updated in the Preview area until you stop scrubbing. Also, as you enter or scrub to In and Out points, the playhead snaps to the closest I-frame in your footage, which may be slightly different from the precise timecode value you specified.

Choosing an AVCHD Destination Codec

Even simple AVCHD decoding for playback requires a lot of processing power. To reduce the processing demands on your computer, the Log and Transfer window transcodes your AVCHD footage to a less processor-intensive codec. By default, the Apple ProRes 422 codec is used, but you can also choose the Apple Intermediate Codec.

To choose the destination codec for AVCHD footage transferred in the Log and Transfer window:

1In the Log and Transfer window, choose Preferences from the Action pop-up menu in the upper-right corner of the Browse area.

2In the dialog that appears, choose a destination codec for the AVCHD plug-in in the “Transcode to” column, then click OK.

Note: When ingesting AVCHD audio, the AVCHD plug-in is preset to ingest the audio as Matrix stereo. With some AVCHD camcorders, the audio may sound unbalanced when ingested as Matrix stereo. To correct the imbalance, select the AC-3 Audio decoder option in the AVCHD plug-in preferences, and choose Plain Stereo. Then reingest the AVCHD footage. It’s recommended that you ingest an initial AVCHD clip and check for this sound imbalance. You can then select the appropriate setting before ingesting the remainder of your AVCHD footage.

The Apple iPhone 6, released in September 2014, marked a significant evolution in Apple's smartphone lineup. This model introduced a larger screen and a sleeker design, setting the stage for future devices in the iPhone series.

One of the most notable features of the iPhone 6 was its display. With a 4.7-inch Retina HD screen, the iPhone 6 offered a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels, delivering vibrant colors and sharp images. This screen size was a departure from previous models, appealing to users who favored larger displays for better viewing experiences, whether for gaming, watching videos, or browsing the web.

The design of the iPhone 6 was another highlight. It featured a slim, curved aluminum body that not only made it more aesthetically pleasing but also improved its ergonomics. Weighing just 129 grams, the phone was light yet robust. The placement of volume buttons, the power button, and the headphone jack was thoughtfully designed to enhance usability.

Under the hood, the iPhone 6 was powered by the A8 chip, a 64-bit dual-core processor that offered impressive performance and energy efficiency. Coupled with the M8 motion coprocessor, the device could effectively handle demanding apps and services while optimizing battery life, providing users with a smooth experience throughout the day.

The camera capabilities of the iPhone 6 were also advanced for its time. It featured an 8-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization and a f/2.2 aperture, allowing for clearer low-light photography. The front-facing camera was improved as well, offering a 1.2-megapixel resolution and support for 720p HD video, making it great for selfies and video calls.

Connectivity options included LTE support, enabling faster download speeds, and Wi-Fi calling, which allowed users to make calls over Wi-Fi networks, enhancing communication in areas with poor cellular coverage. The iPhone 6 also introduced the Apple Pay feature, allowing users to make secure transactions using their devices.

In terms of software, the iPhone 6 originally came with iOS 8, which boasted new features such as HealthKit and HomeKit, further integrating technology into daily life. Regular software updates ensured that users could enjoy the latest features and security enhancements well into the device's lifecycle.

Overall, the iPhone 6 distinguished itself with a combination of innovative design, powerful performance, and a user-friendly experience, solidifying Apple's position in the smartphone market and paving the way for future iterations in the iPhone lineup.
