Fast Way for importing Sony FS700 50/60p mts footage in Avid Media Composer

In this article, you will learn how to transcode Sony FS700 50/60p MTS to DNxHD MOV for Avid Media Composer editing without any importing problems on Mac.



The file I'm trying to import is AVCHD from my Sony NEX-FS700 at 1080p50 into Avid MC 6.5 via AMA. AVCHD-MTS AMA-plugin is installed but result in an error message. So I'm was asking here to figure out how to get the mts files from FS700 into Avid without any issue?

In fact, Avid can't import Sony FS700 recorded 1080 50/60p AVCHD video, the frame rate is so high and the codec is not friendly to AMC for editing. On Avid official website, Avid only works with standard film and broadcast formats. Although, Avid MC has added some plug-ins, actually background converters for the high-definition video format AVCHD, the importing process are unbelievably slow.

As DNxHD codec is the first choice for editing in Avid Media Composer, so in order to import the Sony FS700 50/60p AVCHD to Avid for editing, the easy workaround is to transcode MTS to Avid MC compatible DNxHD .mov format.
