Tips for Transferring Sony Cybershot/Handycam AVCHD MTS to iMovie/FCP on Mac


Sony Handycam series and Cybershot series are the most outstanding and stunning camcorders today. Quite a few users would prefer to capture footages with these amazing cameras. After shooting videos, they’d love to transfer the recordings from Sony Cybershot/Sony Handycam to Mac and use some editing tools to adjust the videos’ after effects. However, for Mac users, things would not be so easy since all the Mac-based video editors like iMovie, FCP (the latest versions of these software are not included) etc. cannot recognize camcorder AVCHD MTS videos at all.
Although Apple declared that the latest iMovie can do a better job than the previous version in dealing with camcorder footages in DV, HDV and AVCHD, etc. as well as the Final Cut Pro X, both the FCP and iMovie are still in a poor compatibility with the majority of camcorder AVCHD MTS/M2TS videos, which make it a pain in the butt for many camcorder photographers to transfer Sony Handycam/Sony Cybershot to Mac.
How to convert these camcorder AVCHD MTS to Final Cut Pro X/iMovie? You need the help of a great Mac AVCHD Converter (AVCHD Converter)!
