Aquafadas has released VideoPier and VideoPier HD 1.0. The VideoPier family of products is aimed at videographers who own MPEG-2 or AVCHD camcorders and who struggle with these video formats on their Mac.
VideoPier and VideoPier HD are designed to make it easy to transfer clips from these camcorders to a central location on their Mac, without requiring any conversion, without any loss in quality. The clips appear grouped by Events in the VideoPier user interface, ready to be viewed, organized and converted to any format.
What’s more, VideoPier handles data that has already been copied to disk and will let you access all your clips. In addition, VideoPier HD lets you capture HDV material directly from tape based HDV camcorders.
VideoPier and VideoPier HD 1.0 integrates with your other video applications and let you use workflows that are not supported by default on the Mac. One example: still using iMovie 06? You can use VideoPier to acquire data from your MPEG2 or AVCHD camcorder, then use the specifically designed iMovie 06 export function to send versions of those clips to iMovie 06 in a format it understands.
VideoPier comes with an extensive set of export functionality, to iMovie 06/08, iPhone, QuickTime and Final Cut (VideoPier HD only). The products work with Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later. A single user license for VideoPier 1.0 is US$49, and VideoPier HD is $79.
