importing Panasonic GH3 MTS video to FCP.

Firstly, you should know the best video format for FCP is Apple ProRes MOV. So we have to change AVCHD to ProRes before loading Panasonic GH2 recordings to FCP. Thus you need to use an AVCHD Converter for Mac. Here I take Brorsoft [quote] brorsoft.com/mts-converter-mac/]MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac as an example. I have used it to help me convert AVCHD MTS,M2TS to ProRes many times. The converted video is in the best quality and keeps me satisfied every time. With this MTS converting tool, you can also transcode kinds of MTS files to iMovie, FCE, Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, etc NLE systems with the optimal presets.

How to transcode Panasonic Lumix GH3 MTS to ProRes on Mac OS X?

Step 1: Download and install the best [quote] brorsoft.com/mts-converter-mac/]AVCHD to ProRes Converter and then launch it to load your MTS files to the software.

Tip: If you wanna join MTS, M2TS files for Final Cut Pro, please check the "Merge into one" box.



Step 2: Click on Format, and from the dropdown menu, here I recommend Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov). Then you can set the output folder as you want.

Step 3: Click the “Settings” icon and you’d better set the video size as 1920*1080, video frame rate as 30fps for 60p, 25fps for 50p movie to keep the best output video quality.

After the conversion, get the converted MTS files from the output folder. Afterwards, you can copy/put Panasonic GH3 AVCHD into FCP 6/7/X for editing freely.
