Part One: How to encode Canon HF G10 AVCHD to iMovie 8/9/11 compatible format on Mac?
Question: Best Solution for AVCHD Editing?
I have a Canon Vixia HF G10 camcorder, which creates .mts video files (AVCHD format: MPEG-4 AVC/H.264). My goal is to convert these .mts files to .mov files so that I can edit my Canon G10 footage with iMovie 8.
Answer: iMovie 8 doesn’t support AVCHD folder import directly, only iMovie 11 support the AVCHD structure(but I find “iMovie 11 still does not support many AVCHD (.mts) files” on forums), you need to convert AVCHD to iMovie 8 compatible format, AIC is the recommended codec, you can download a free trail of Pavtube AVCHD to iMovie Converter for Mac, use it to convert AVCHD to AIC codec, there should be no problem to edit it in iMovie after conversion.
Tip:
