Guide on Importing Sony FS700 MTS files into Final Cut Pro 7 and FCP X

Summary: Here are tips and tricks for Sony NEX-FS700 and Final Cut Pro: In order to import and edit Sony NEX-FS700 MTS into FCP 7/X smoothly, you need transcode Sony AVCHD to FCP compatible format on Mac. 

As a high-end camcorder, Sony NEX-FS700 is definitely worth buying: professional design, large-sensor, and high quality recording. FS700 can shoot at up to 960 frames per second and now there are already quite a few cameras out there that can do this.



As FS700 records full HD 1080 50/60p MTS/M2TS files in AVCHD format. However, FCP has less compatiblity with AVCHD .mts/.m2ts files, and many users find that the AVCHD format cannot be recognized by FCP 7, for example:

Hello, I own HD video converter for MAC. I'm attempting to batch transfer 1080i HD footage from a Sony FS700 (AVCHD/MTS) to Prores. I want the footage to stay interlaced and not convert to 25P (progressive). Is there a way to do this? Can only find a 25p option. Thank you!

Why this happens just because the codec of AVCHD is not supported by Final Cut Pro. So is there any easy solution to avoid the headache "incompatibility importing problem"? Here is a simple tip for you to make Sony FS700 50/60p AVCHD editable in FCP. Some 1080/50 fps AVCHD clips grayed out in L&T or import window and we were not able to ingest them to FCP until we used third-party encoder to change these 50/60 fps MTS clips to ProRes 422.

What we use: Pavtube MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac to help you get it done.
