Currently neither iMovie 9 nor FCE 4 supports the original MTS footages from HF G25, that’s why you cannot import Canon AVCHD MTS files to FCE/iMovie.

The common practice for MTS workflow with FCE/iMovie is, get a Mac AVCHD Converter for iMovie/FCE and transcode Canon LEGRIA HF G25 MTS footage to AIC(Apple Intermediate Codec), the well-acknowledged optimal editing format for iMovie 9 and FCE 4. By converting .MTS files to Apple Intermediate Codec(AIC)(*.mov) you save both time and trouble, as AIC video will be processed by FCE4 and iMovie naturally without rendering, and all you need is drag and drop the result video for prompt editing.
