Panasonic's DMC-GH3 is a new camera with multiple output formats. But the most popular fomrat is AVCHD 2.0, which is a advanced video format with 1080 60p for Sony and Panasonic cams. However, it is also a unstandard format for almost Video Editing Softwares, including Final Cut Pro. It is said FCP X 10.0.4 or above can surpport it sometimes. If your FCP X seems cannot ingest the 60p files from GH3 well, what will you do?
In fact, if you use the professional AVCHD to FCP X Converter to convert AVCHD to Apple ProRes lossless and then import to FCP X, you will smoothly edit the video. I have used the convert tool for a long time, it always do the fast AVCHD/MTS/M2TS conversion with the best quality as I want. I believe it wll be a good choice for you. Please trust it.
Step 1: Get the top MTS Converter for FCP X, then start it to import your Panasonic GH3 .mts/.m2ts files it. Check off the “Merge into one” box to combine your MTS files together if necessary.
Step 2: Tap the Format icon; from the dropdown menu select Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) (*.mov) as the target format. Of course, the ProRes 422, ProRes 422 (LT), ProRes 422 (Proxy) and ProRes 4444 are also the right choice.
Step 3: Click the “Settings” icon and you’d better set the video frame rate as 30fps, video size as 1920*1080 for editing GH3 footages in FCP X with best quality.
Step 4: Hit the “Convert” button; it will start to transcode Panasonic GH3 AVCHD to ProRes for FCP X on Mac OS X immediately. You can find the process in the “Conversion” interface.
After the 60p AVCHD to ProRes conversion, you can import converted files to FCP X, just click and choose File >> Import >> Files, and then you can load your video files to FCP X for easy editing.
