I heard someone always complains about the trouble of working Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 AVCHD MTS files with FCP X, actually, for directly importing to FCP X is not a good method.
Regarding to the AVCHD codec, it is very popular in both the professional and consumer market. That means most non-linear editing software should have full support for the codec, but the thing is that users still have problems one or another while trying to open the Panasonic DMC-LX100 AVCHD footage in Final Cut Pro for further editing.
In order to import and edit Panasonic DMC-LX100 AVCHD files in FCP X without crashing problem and avoid rendering, you’d better transcode the Panasonic DMC-LX100 AVCHD footages to FCP X native format. Pavtube Video Converter for Mac(read the review)is a professional AVCHD Converter, which can help you to convert Panasonic DMC-LX100 AVCHD to Apple ProRes for Final Cut Pro X.
