Summary: If you are facing the issue when importing and editing Canon Legria
HF M306 AVCHD footage in Final Cut Pro X, here recommend you the best Mac Canon
MTS to ProRes Converter to achieve your goal smoothly.
Canon Legria HF
R306 camera, as an update of entry-level Legria camcorder range at CES 2012, is
a Full HD compact camcorder, featured with a 1/4.85in CMOS sensor, 32x optical
zoom, 51x intelligent zoom, a 3in colour touchscreen monitor and a whopping 8GB
of internal storage space. That specification is already pretty good for a
camcorder of this price, but Canon has gone even further by adding Wi-Fi
connectivity, which means you can transfer recorded videos to your PC without a
USB cable and stream videos to DLNA-enabled TVs and games consoles. All of this
is recorded straight to memory card so you can quickly and easily share your
movies with friends and family.
I have just got a Canon Legria HF M306 camera and I have taken it on my trip.
After recording some footage HF M306, I wanna share this with others. To get
better effect, just now I'm trying to get the AVCHD recording from it into Final Cut Pro X, but without much success, that is, I can get the Canon to show up on my
desktop, but can't seem to get FCP X on my Mountain Lion to capture the video
from the M306 camera using the USB Cable.
AVCHD is highly compressed and
not ideal for editing with Final Cut Pro X you can't natively import Canon HF

edit Canon HF R306 AVCHD files in Final Cut Pro X without crashing problem and avoid rendering, you'd better transcode
the Canon AVCHD to FCP native format, say, Apple ProRes Codec with some help
from a third-party software.
