Description: Can't import Panasonic AG-HMC150 mts files to Final Cut Pro X? Follow the article below, you will get to know the easy way to transcode and deinterlace Panasonic AVCHD footage to Prores HQ for editing in FCP X editing.
The Panasonic AG-HMC150 is a camcorder designed to record in high definition on standard SecureDigital (SD) and SHDC memory cards. While SD-based camcorders have been gaining ground in the consumer market, the AG-HMC150 has the ability to record AVCHD images at significantly higher bitrates. The ability to record up to 24Mb/s onto a single SDHC makes the camera not only incredibly versatile, but allows users to record onto inexpensive media.
AVCHD was jointly established by Sony Corporation and Panasonic Corporation in 2006 for use in their digital tapeless camcorders. But practically speaking, importing AVCHD to FCP might be tricky, due to the version of FCP, your Mac processor (PowerPC- or older Intel-based Mac don't support AVCHD editing) , and the model of camcorder. Thus, many users report that they can't import AVCHD files from AG-HMC150 into FCP X using camera import.
I just downloaded a MTS/M2TS Video converter and I'm using it to convert Panasonic AG-HMC150 MTS files into Apple HQ prores 422, yet the converted files look damaged. I attached a photo of what the results look like. I must finish this editing project by tomorrow- please advise!
