In our life, we usually shot some 1080i AVCHD videos and we are satisfied with the high quality. It is a pity that AVCHD is not a good editing format. So we will meet some troubles if we attempt to import 1080i AVCHD MTS recordings from Sony HXR-MC2000U (MC2000E for PAL) to Final Cut Pro 7 for editing on Mac. Is there an easy way to get MC2000U footages to FCP 7 without any trouble? Yes. In this article, we will talk about the best way to make Sony HXR-MC2000E/U 1080i AVCHD editable for FCP 7 on Mac OS X.
