avchd,.mts.m2ts to final cut express/pro
Had a hard time editing an AVCHD file? According to Final Cut Express Spec, the latest FCE 4 can import hd file avchd natively, but only on Intel Macs, not PowerPC Mac. But how come we can't import AVCHD into FCE while Apple states that Final Cut Express supports AVCHD video? This article is mainly for people who own Canon ivies HG10 AVCHD, Sony HDR SR 12E AVCHD or Panasonic AVCHD camcorder, here you will get advice on how to import AVCHD to FCE or convert AVCHD to a Mac editable format like mov mpeg-4 dv.
The latest Final Cut Express 4 adds support for the latest AVCHD cameras(Cannon, Panasonic, Sony) allows mixing of standard and high definition content on a single timeline. AVCHD is supported on Intel-based Macs.Final Cut will only handle AVCHD files when it finds them in their original file structure (either by connecting the camcorder or using a memory card reader). It is suggested you had to have the folders exactly like they were on the camera. This is true, unless of course you have deleted some files or if any become corrupt then the structure isn't exactly the same. So, what if I am using PowerPC Mac and need to edit avchd with fce, and what if avchd file can't be imported to FCE with Intel Mac?
