How to Edit Canon Vixia Videos with FCP/iMovie


Canon, the leader in the camcorder manufacturing field, is well known for its high quality camcorders and cameras. Its cameras/camcorders, producing HD video image quality and perfect user experience, have already gained a great global reputation. The only disappointing point of it, if any, is that though Canon cameras, such as the Canon Vixia series, create outstanding quality videos, it is sometimes impossible to edit their AVCHD footages with FCP and iMovie – the most useful video editors for Mac. That’s mainly because the format compatibility problems so that we cannot even load the Canon MTS to Final Cut Pro/iMovie.
MTS to FCPX
Possible reasons:
1. Check the processor. If your Mac processor is an old Intel-based version, you may probably fail to import Canon Vixia AVCHD to Mac, for the Inter-based version of Mac cannot recognize AVCHD MTS file.
2. Confirm whether the MTS file is a raw one. If it is, then you can connect your camcorder, and directly load .mts videos from Canon camcorder to Mac. If not, you cannot open them with iMovie/FCP.
3. Sometimes, even though your Mac runs the OSX Mountain Lion or above and the MTS file is raw one, it is still not possible to load the files into iMovie/FCP somehow. In this case, convert MTS to iMovie/FCP-friendly file formats like MOV can be the easiest way out.
If you need to convert the Vixia footages to FCP or iMovie, you probably will need a professional and strong-powerful Canon Camcorder AVCHD Video Converter for Mac to help you. Suppose you are a Windows user and have the same demand, use this AVCHD Video Converter for Windows. Such kind of converter is an intuitive and smart HD video converting program, which can convert camcorder AVCHD videos (*.mts, *.m2ts) to the popular video formats, such as AVI, MPG, MP4, MOV, WMV, etc. After the conversion, the output videos will be successfully imported to iMovie and FCP.
