Summary: Have some interesting footage in your HD camcorder in M2TS but have no idea to import into Final Cut Pro X for editing? Here we introduce an easy way to convert M2TS to FCPX supported video format for editing smoothly.
I purchased FCPX to edit SONY Z7 m2ts files. I though this could be possible as the FCPX web site indicates Native editing support for AVCHD. But disappointedly this is not the case. I can’t load the m2ts into FCP X.
It’s easy to access lots of M2TS videos from a capture device, for example the SONY Z7, Roxio Game Capture HD Pro, or a Panasonic, Canon, Sony full HD AVCHD camcorder. However, M2TS is an acquisition format and wasn’t really designed for editing. If the M2TS files grey out when you try to import them to FCP, you need to convert them to FCP friendly formats.
