1080 50p/60p AVCHD MTS to iMovie?

It’s confirmed (at least till now) we can’t imput the raw Full HD 60/50p video to iMovie for freely editing. Because 1080 50p and 60p are not standard video formats, they are unsupported by iMovie. iMovie can smoothly edit videos at 1080p 24/25/30, 1080i 50/60, 720p 24/25/30. So we have to change Sony NEX-7 1080 60p first. iMovie best supported format and codec is Apple Intermedaite codec MOV format, once you transcode Sony NEX-7 AVCHD to AIC in 25p/30p , you can play and edit Sony NEX-7 AVCHD in iMovie smoothly.
