Panasonic AC130 and AC160 HD camcorders are very popular. But many users may have a headache at importing the 1080p AVCHD recordings into FCP. To get the workflow in with the recorded footage in post-production using both Final Cut Pro 7 and Final Cut Pro X, you'd better convert Panasonic AC160/AC130 AVCHD(.mts/.m2ts) video to Apple ProRes on Mac OS X.
Why change AVCHD to ProRes?
From googling, you will find AVCHD(H.264/AVC/MPEG-4 codec) is not a good editing format for many Video Editing Softwares, including FCP. We'd bette re-encode AVCHD to FCP's native format ProRes to get the smoothly editing with our Mac computer.
Is there an excellent Mac AVCHD Converter?
Yes, here we recommend the easy-to-use AVCHD to ProRes Converter for you, which is highly praised by its great performace in transcoding AVCHD files to ProRes for Final Cut Pro, including FCP 6/7 and FCP X.
