After making some footage with Panasonic HC-V720K camcorder in 1080 60p/50p AVCHD format, I'd like to edit the video from HC-V720K with Final Cut Pro X and upload the edited video to MySpace, but I was frustrated that HC-V720K 1080 60p/50p .mts file could not be imported into FCP X.

After googling, I was recommended to transcode V720K 1080 50/60p videos to Prores MOV for FCP X along with some help from a 3rd-party Pansonic AVCHD Converter for Mac.

If you looking for a solution for this problem likewise, check out Pavtube's iMedia Converter for Mac which is entitled as a top Panasonic MTS to FCP Converter.
