How to Import AVCHD Files into Final Cut Pro X

6/05/2013 9:38 AM Eastern

Ron Dawson of Day Dreamer Magazine writes up a tutorial for importing AVCHD video into Final Cut Pro X. He writes, "A few weeks ago I was editing my first AVCHD project in FCPX (I’ve edited AVCHD projects in legacy versions of FCP, but not yet in FCPX), and I’ll be darned if I didn’t have a heck of a time finding definitive information about the proper procedure for importing AVCHD video into Final Cut Pro X. As many of you probably know, AVCHD is a proprietary video format developed by Sony and Panasonic that is used in a number of cameras (e.g. the Canon’s C100, Sony’s FS100, the Panasonic’ GH2 to name a few). What makes it such a pain to use is that cameras that use it create this complex file structure in which the video is buried. It’s not like what you see on a traditional DSLRS which have .MOV files you can copy over. It’s a drag."
