Canon C100 and FCP WorkFlow- How to Import and Edit Canon C100 AVCHD in FCP(X)

This guide will teach you the best way we tested to import Canon C100  MTS to FCP X natively with Apple ProRes codec.


Canon already gave those looking for a full-frame DSLR plenty to think about, and now it's stirring up the movie-maker's pot. It's just announced a new member to its EOS digital cinema collection -- the EOS C100 -- and given us a better idea of when we can expect that C500 to land.

For the record, my C100 is easily the best camera I own. Its images always blow me away and its handling and form factor are just superb. But the most terrible thing is that when I imput these cilps to Final Cut Pro, I got the error message directly, no matter FCP 7 or FCP X. Why? I am eager to editing in FCP further. Is there anyone here can help me? Thanks in advance.

In my opinion, the key problem lies in the different codec. The most compatible Codec for FCP is Apple Prores Codec, but for Canon EOS C100 recordings, they are compressed by MPEG-4 AVC/H.264. That's the reason why the person mentioned above got the error while imputing Canon EOS C100 cilps to FCP 7/X. So the fastest and safest way to solve this problem is to convert Canon C100 AVCHD to Prores .MOV before editing in FCP (X). To do the job, Pavtube MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac is a good tool.

How to import Canon C100 AVCHD 1080p MTS to Final Cut Pro (X) for editing without rendering for beginners?
