How to edit AVCHD camcorder video on Mac?

AVCHD is a high definition (HD) camcorder format developed by Panasonic and Sony for use in their consumer camcorders, recording 1080i*1 and 720p*2 signals onto certain media by using the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video compression codec. Generally, the file extensions are mts (on camcorder) and m2ts (after import to computer).

Many tapeless camcorders record to memory cards, such as SD/SDHC cards or “Memory Stick” cards. Solid-state memory cards offer rewritable storage in a compact form factor with no moving parts. With transfer speeds ranging from 10 MByte/s to 20 Mbyte/s, it takes about 1 minute to transfer 1 GB of video.

However when AVCHD users want to convert AVCHD to other format on Mac, want to edit AVCHD video with iMovie, FCE, FCP or desire to play AVCHD video with QuickTime, iTunes on Mac, you will meet some questions as below:

Q1: How to import AVCHD video to a Mac?

I took some videos on my canon hf200, and when I plugged it into the computer, iPhoto opened and only the photos were imported. So I closed iPhoto and looked into the file directory. The file extension was .MTS knows any software FOR A MAC to convert to complete and full HD?

Q2: How do you convert AVCHD video files to be edited in Mac?

Just bought an HD Panasonic and turns out the software that came with it was not available for Mac OS X… I need to do the editing on my laptop… help!?

For resolving these problems, I search a tool— AVCHD Converter for Mac in the website. Mac AVCHD Converter can help you convert AVCHD files from popular camcorders, including Sony AVCHD, Canon AVCHD, Panasonic AVCHD, and JVC AVCHD, etc. So you can convert .MTS or .M2TS to Mac compatible formats, like MOV, MP4, M4V, MPEG, DV, 3GP for playback on QuickTime. I hope it is helpful for us.
