My primary camera is a Canon XF300, and the XA20 is my backup. I shot in an indoor theatre, this footage at the link down below really shows off the amazing optical zoom range this new camcorder has. And it shows what sort of image quality you can get in both good light, and also under poor lighting. However, I find that I can't import short 60p clips recorded with .mts format from the XA20 into Aperture 3 on my Mac Book Pro. Reads the AVCHD as imcompatible file. Aperture 3 cannot accept the AVCHD MTS footage so nicely.
This is a question asked from one of my clients. I have tested some videos recorded by in 60/50 fps, but still unable to load them into Aperture 3. So I think that clips formatted at 1080p50 and 1080p60 are not supported by Aperture, and thus, it may cause the issue that Canon XA20 1080 60p/50p mts files are not visible in the Aperture Import window.
But now I have used a professional Mac MTS to Aperture Converter tool, it done well work with me and perfectly solve the problem with XA20 1080 60p/50p mts importing workflow in Aperture 3.
This Canon XA20 camcorder records in several ways, including full 1080p HD video at 60p in either AVCHD Progressive (28Mbps) or MP4 (35Mbps) format for crisp moving images, or record at a lower bit rate and transmit MP4 (3Mbps) format video to cover and quickly upload breaking news via wireless FTP file transfer. So if you want to edit Canon XA20 1080 60p/50p 28Mbps mts in Apple Aperture 3, you are recommended to use Pavtube MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac I have been using, which is the superior MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac.

What's more, With Pavtube AVCHD MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac, you can also add *.srt, *.ass, *.ssa subtitle to a video/movie files. Here I share a guide of how to add subtitles and some free subtitle files download website:
