Summary: Follow this article you will know how to convert and import Panasonic DMC-GH3 AVCHD MTS to iMovie compatible format with MTS to iMovie Converter on Mac.
Panasonic is trying to promote its brand new Lumix GH3 as "the first DSLM". That's "digital single lens mirrorless" for the uninitiated, thought it sounds - obviously and intentionally, no doubt - a lot like "DSLR" to us. Hardly a surprise then that it looks, feels and functions a lot like one too.
Movie recording is a major part of what the GH3 is about. Arguably that'll be one of its key sells. We were able to shoot and view some super-smooth 1080p25 footage output as MOV files using ALL-I compression at an incredible 72Mbps. That's beyond broadcast quality. 50Mbps is also offered at faster frame rates or 720p, dipping to 28Mbps if using the AVCHD option. Frame rates include 24, 25, 50 or 60fps options - the latter two differ depending on region, i.e. 50p is PAL, 60p is NTSC.
