Tricks for Import/Edit Panasonic TM700 50/60P videos into Final Cut Pro smoothly
Panasonic HDC-TM700 is a camcorder introduced in early 2010 that is able to shoot 1080p 50/60P AVCHD videos. It performs good quality in low-light conditions, and it includes 3MOS system as well as 35mm wide-angle lens with 12x optical zoom. HDC-TM700 is proposed with 1080/50p (Full HD 1920x1080 with 50 progressive recording) in Europe, and 1080/60p (full HD 1920x1080 with 60 progressive recording) in America.
You can shoot full HD videos with Panasonic TM700. However, bad news is currently the Panasonic 50/60P AVCHD format is nearly impossible to be edited in Final Cut Pro. Even with the lastest update of FCP X, we have not seen the expected support for 50/60p AVCHD MTS. So how to import Panasonic TM700 AVCHD 50p/60p videos into Final Cut Pro for editing smoothly on Mac?
In my oponion, since the FCP native format is ProRes, the best method to solve these problems is to convert Panasonic TM700 AVCHD 1080p 50p/60p footage to Apple ProRes for Final Cut Pro. Along with some help from a 3rd-party Pansonic AVCHD Converter.
