Re-encode Sony FS700 AVCHD to ProRes for freely importing in FCP

Sony FS700 users often meet the problem that they cannot edit AVCHD MTS files made by Sony high definition camcorder in FCP. The following will tell how to use FCP to edit Sony FS700 AVCHD MTS, which is not a Mac friendly format.



I've just got a bunch of CF cards in from a shoot from yesterday. I believe the camera used for the interview was a Sony FS700 On the CF cards, I have 2 folders: }CLP{ and then a }STT{ file, but FCP L&T doesn't like that structure so I can't use that. The files here are QT movs (M-PEG2) and I need to convert to ProRes 422. Not using MPEG since they don't keep source TC, so I'm using Compressor but it's taking EXTREMELY long, even for a 2 minute clip. Is there a quicker way to do these batches because I have to get all this footage over to the editor, but fear at this rate it will take all day!
  
The FS700 shoots AVCHD. And with any tapeless workflow, you need to copy the ENTIRE card structure to a hard drive.

If there is camcorder to sway the pro away from the larger models as used in "run and gun"shooting for current affairs, short documentaries or films etc, then at the moment this is it.

All the necessaries are there; top lens, manual programmable focus ring, face detection, manual or auto controls for contrast, shutter speed etc and of course superb imaging. And for future proofing, the HC-X920 also supports the optional 3D lens.

Recordings:

Panasonic HC-X920M can provide us 1080p Full HD. We live in Australia - so we are PAL.

I started the video project last year (with an old DV Camera that soon became defective) and since february this year I work with the Panasonic V707. I am working on a spiritual movie, that will be presented on my homepage only. After importing my 1080 50p/60p AVCHD films from V707 into iMovie, I get failed many times.

After a long search (google, forums) I understand the reason. For imovie editing workflow, the first clip you add to the project has a different frame rate from the project, iMovie prompts you to adjust the project frame rate to match. Therefore, the video clip from your Panasonic 1080 50p or 1080 60p camcorder doesn't match the project frame rate and as a result, imovie will not support my 1080/50p mts footage by my Panasonic V707. So the best workaround is to convert Panasonic V707 50p Videos to iMovie in a correct way.

At first, I’ve been working with Xilisoft HD Video Converter, but my camera produces 1080/50p slow motion videos, which are not converted completely with Xilisoft. Fortunately, I find this professional Mac 1080/50p MTS Converter from Pavtube at last. 

With it, I have successfully converted 1080/50p AVCHD clips to compatible AIC .mov format with iMovie, and then I can import without rendering. In fact, I know this Pansonic AVCHD Converter for Mac still has a lot of functions, such as many optimized output formats for editing software or playable devices as well as its editing functions. In a word, I'm pleased with the software, very satisfied. 

If you have the same problem with importing Panasonic HC-V707 1080/50p AVCHD to iMovie, you can follow the step-by-step guide below to transcode 1080/50p Slow Motion Video from the  HC-V707 (MTS-File) to  MOV-File with AIC codec to use in iMovie.
