How do I edit m2ts video into FCP X from Panasonic TM900 camcorder?

Have lots of full HD video captured by Panasonic HDC TM900 and want to import those files into FCP X for further editing. However, still have problem in achieving it, for the M2TS file can't be directly transferred into Final Cut Pro X.



Why the AVCHD M2TS file can't be recognized by FCP X? At the very beginning, get to know the compatible file formats should be needed. When you read the full specs about the Final Cut Pro X, you will realize that the FCP X can't natively accept the AVCHD M2TS or MTS file format.

That's to say, if you intend to import AVCHD MTS/M2TS video from Panasonic TM900 to FCP X, you have to convert AVCHD to FCP X acceptable file format like MOV. Panasonic AVCHD Converter for Mac is the right application can achieve the conversion. With the Panasonic TM900 to FCP X converter, you can effortlessly convert Panasonic TM900 1080/50P AVCHD to MOV for Final Cut Pro X. Plus, it can also export other file formats like MKV, H.264, AVI, M4V, etc.

Tip: Panasonic AVCHD Video Editor for Mac allows you to do some practical editing jobs, such as video clipping, video merging, add video effects, set advanced parameter settings and more.

Step 1. Load MTS/M2TS files to this program
Download and install the program on Mac, then transfer or backup the recorded AVCHD file from the Panasonic TM900 to Mac. Then click "Add File" to add the clip(s) to the program.
