Searching from Panasonic Lumix TZ70 official website, we know that AVCHD MTS is the file format recorded by it. AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) is a file-based format for the digital recording and playback of high-definition video. Developed jointly by Sony and Panasonic, AVCHD was introduced in 2006 primarily for use in high definition consumer camcorders, such as Lumix TZ70 we mentioned above. So, no matter edit AVCHD on Mac/Windows or play AVCHD on Mac/Windows, it’s becoming a common thing in our daily life.

Though this tiny camera can shot the wonderful moments for us with a high definition image, how can we edit AVCHD MTS footage recorded by TZ70 in some hot NLEs like FCP, iMovie, Premiere, Avid or playback on QuickTime, VLC media player, etc? For most editing software and media players don’t support AVCHD MTS very well. Issues like can’t import, images without sound, sound with no images and etc. are all possible to occur. To make the Lumix TZ70 AVCHD MTS recordings natively supported by those media players or editing tools and to edit and play AVCHD freely, we should convert AVCHD MTS to other programs’ accepted formats with the help of third-party software. We here highly recommend you Pavtube MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac. If you are running on Windows, please go to the equivalent version Pavtube MTS/M2TS Converter.
