Follow this guide below you will get to know the MTS to iMovie solution. Now keep on reading the info about how to convert Panasonic HC-X920 AVCHD to iMovie for editing without rendering.
I recently bought iMovie to konw if my Panasonic x920 is compatible with it. I tried importing all my .mts files but iMovie cannot recognize this kind of file. We are wondering if anything simple workflow to help with this? This is a question that many AVCHD users may meet, why does it happens? The problem lies in the unsupported codec. AVCHD is a non-standard format that most NLE cannot accept. So in order to get theses Full HD AVCHD files from Panasonic HC-X920 to perfectly work with iMovie, we need to convert Panasonic AVCHD to iMovie native and preferred format like AIC .mov.
I tested one MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac on the market with a single AVCHD .MTS clip from my Panasonic X920 Camcorder. The transcoding appeared to work fine. However, once I batch processed a number of clips together (about 3.5GB in total size), the resulting transcoded footage was choppy and not as good as the original sample I had tested.
While looking for the most reliable AVCHD converting tool to transcode HC-X920 recorded AVCHD videos to edit in iMovie, I find this Mac Panasonic AVCHD to iMovie Converter from Pavtube Studio, with which you are able to convert Panasonic HC-X920 AVCHD to AIC codec quickly, and easily make HC-X920 HD camcorder AVCHD video footage editable on iMovie on Mac.
