Canon has, as expected, announced the EOS M - its first mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. Based around the same 18MP APS-C sensor as the recent EOS 650D/T4i, the EOS M is the first model to use a new, smaller 'EF-M' lens mount. It is is a small camera, but it can record movies in Full HD 1920x1080 resolution at 30, 25 or 24 fps with stereo sound, using the highly-compatible MOV format and H.264 compression, with a time limit of 29 min 59 sec per clip. While, if you try to import Canon EOS M H.264 MOV footages to iMovie for further editing on Mac OS X, you will meet some troubles sometimes.
As far as we know, H.264 is not a good editing format and the best codec of iMovie, including iMovie 8/9/10/11, is AIC. So, if your iMovie can't surpport the H.264 MOV, you'd better convert it to the native AIC MOV for iMovie so that you can copy and edit Canon EOS M 1080p footages in iMovie without any problem. Thus, the most important part in the problem-solving process is to find a professional MOV to AIC converter. Here recommended the best H.264 MOV to iMovie Converter for Canon EOS M users. Apply it and you can not only get your Canon H.264 MOV files converted to AIC with lossless quality compared to the original files, but also are provided with some useful editing functions, including joining imported clips together for easy importing, trimming section of your file, adding text/image/video watermarks to your original files, replacing audio tracks, etc.
