Final Mate for Mac
Capture video footage from camcorder, join/split AVCHD without encoding, convert to Apple ProRes & AIC
The Sony HDR-SR1 uses the AVCHD format to record 1080i HD video on a 30GB disk rather than DVD disc. I was wondering if MTS can be imported to iMovie to get further editing with all kinds of video processing functions. Then I did many researches and finally found MTS files from my Sony HDR SR1 were always not able to be imported to iMovie as a result.
As a matter of fact, MPEG 4 Simple Profile is the best format for fast importing into iMovie. Here is the best way to put and edit MTS videos to iMovie on Mac Lion. Aunsoft Final Mate helps to easily convert MTS video clips to MPEG 4 for fast importing to iMovie on Mac OS X Lion.
