Tricks for Final Cut Pro, AVCHD and Panasonic, Sony, Canon etc. HD cameras

Summary: Problem for import AVCHD MTS from Panasonic, Sony, Canon cameras to Final Cut Pro 6/7/X editing on Mac:

Problem 1: Importing MTS files into FCP 7

I’ve just bought FCP 7 and I have a lot of rushes on an external drive that are AVCHD with the .MTS on the end of each file. I’ve just tried to import the MTS files into the project but it won’t recognize them and I can’t see AVCHD in any of the settings.

I bought the upgrade just for this reason as I was told that 7 handles the AVCHD codec. Any tips? The footage is no longer on the camera by the way.

Problem 2: .MTS files in FCP 7

I’ve created a timeline in FCP7. Most clips are from my Panasonic HMC150, with .mov files captured as ProRes422. However, a buddy also filmed the event with a couple of HiDef Canon cameras with files that capture as .MTS Well, FCP7 doesn’t seem to recognize .MTS files. What software do you use to convert .MTS to ProRes 422? Thanks for your help!

Problem 3: How to import MTS files in Final Cut Pro 6?

Hello we captured footage with the Canon HF20 Hi-Def Camcorder, transfered the video files onto an external drive. We’re now trying to import those MTS files into Final Cut Pro 6.0.5 but it seems they are not supported… how do you import them?

Problem 4: Cannot Ingest AVCHD .MTS files in FCP 7

I am trying to Ingest .mts files into Final Cut Pro 7.

I dragged all of the files from an SD card onto one of my External Hard Drives.

I open up Final Cut Pro 7, Go to Log and Transfer, Navigate to the AVCHD folder then to the BDMV folder then finally to the STREAM folder. In the STREAM folder sits all of the .mts files. They are all greyed out and I cannot Ingest them. They will not add to the Log and Transfer Window in FCP 7.

What am I doing wrong? How can I Ingest these files into FCP 7 so I can edit with them?

Thanks in Advance.
