Convert HD video to final cut pro with HD converter for mac

High-definition video or HD video refers to any video system of higher resolution than standard-definition (SD) video, and most commonly involves display resolutions of 1,280×720 pixels (720p) or 1,920×1,080 pixels (1080i/1080p).
Final Cut Pro has native support for HD formats such as HDV, DVCPRO HD, and XDCAM HD. For other HD formats, you need an appropriate third-party capture interface and hard disks with sufficient speed and capacity. HD formats are often defined by their vertical resolutions (number of lines), scanning method (interlaced versus progressive), and frame or field rate. For example, 1080i60 HD video has 1080 lines per frame, uses interlaced scanning (indicated by the i), and scans 60 fields per second.
Not all the camera HD videos can be imported to Final Cut pro, most of Cannon, Sony, JVC, Nikon, Sharp camcorders create MPEG-2, AVI, M2TS, MOD, TOD, etc video format. But if you can convert video to QuickTime MOV, DV, MPEG-4, H.264, 3GP videos, that means you could do further editing in Final Cut Pro.
AVCHD is one popular HD format used by HD digital camcorders to record their footage. Brand digital camcorders Sony and Panasonic were first to release their AVCHD camcorders and then followed by Canon and JVC. Clips from AVCHD camcorder such as Sony HDR, Canoon HF, Panasonic, JVC are in AVCHD MTS/M2TS format.
