Solve "Windows Movie Maker Can't Import MTS"

Windows Movie Maker is the best free video editing software which could help you freely edit and create movies. However when we attempt to load a MTS file, Movie Maker immediately crash and displays the error "Movie Maker Transcoder has stopped working", followed by "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Obviously Windows Media Player doesn't recognize the MTS file.  

Official website states that Windows Movie Maker usually support media formats includes WMV, AVI, ASF, MPG, etc. Based on users` feedback, WMV is the best format for Windows Movie Maker. Then how to open MTS in Windows Movie Maker for editing? I have done a bit of research and testing, and have come up with a couple of methods to prepare .mts video for use with Windows Movie Maker. These methods are sound, and I have successfully converted, imported and editing .mts files using the steps below. 

Solution 1: Apply Windows Movie Maker MTS codec pack

MTS codecs is necessary when encoding and decoding MTS files. Usually, with MTS codec pack installed in your computer, editing MTS files will not be stymied anymore. Below are two popular MTS codec packs that you can choose.

FFDShow MPEG-4 codec: It is a free download. Once you have installed it (you should be able to just click OK, OK, etc., until it is finished installing), try playing your .mts file in Windows Media Player. If you can play it, then you should be able to import and edit the .mts file in Windows Live Movie Maker. 

XviD Codec: The free video codec that is strong in compression and quality. While Xvid compresses video very well, it can do so without causing visible quality loss and by retaining a sharper picture than other codecs do. Xvid is "lossy" compression but aims at removing just those picture details that are not important for human perception. As such, it be seen as a MP3 for video.
Tips: According to users’ feedback, don't install codecs adhoc or codec packs, they often cause more trouble than they solve.

Solution 2: Download and install Handbrake

It is a free and absolute favorite program for converting pretty much anything to a nice .mp4 video file. Open Handbrake. 
1. Click on Source>Video File, and navigate to the .mts file you want to convert. Because of the size of these high definition files, it may take a couple of moments to pull the video into the program. 
2. Because of the size of the original file, you will want to adjust a couple of settings to create a smaller file for editing. Do not worry - the video will still be plenty large enough for projecting on to a screen or putting on a DVD. 
3. When you first pull a video into Handbrake, it automatically set the output file to reflect the resolution of the high 
definition file. 


4. Click the dropdown menu for Anamorphic to reflect None. Change width to 720, and check Keep Aspect Ratio. The Height setting will automatically change to 400. This means that the video will retain the proper 16:9 ratio without having black bars at the top, bottom and sides. 


5. Set your destination to reflect where you want your finished .mp4 video to be saved. I chose to save to the default
Videos folder under Libraries. 


6. Click Start to begin the encoding process. Handbrake will have a progress bar across the bottom of its window to let you see how things are progressing. While the current video is processing, you can actually click on Source, and import another .mts file, and click Add to Queue. It will then place the new file as next in line to process. You can add multiple files – I’ve added up to 12 different files for processing on other projects I have done. 
You have the ability to minimize the Handbrake window so you can work on other things while it processes your file. You can also click on Show Queue to see the progress of all the files you are converting. 


7. Once your file has been converted to .mp4, you can then import it into Windows Live Movie Maker. Since you are 
working with a widescreen (16:9) file, be to go under the Project tab in Movie Maker, and select 16:9 for the aspect 
ratio. 

Solution 3: 

The better easy workaround is to transcode the MTS to a format that Windows Movie Maker natively supports.iFastime Video Converter Ultimate is a professional video converter, which can convert MTS to AVI, MOV, WMV, MP4, MPG, etc. and convert 3D MTS to any file format that compatible with Windows Movie Maker.

The following tutorial will detail you how to to convert MTS to Windows Movie Maker friendly file type.

Load 3D MTS in Avid Media Composer for editing

With the development of technology, 3D effect has been adopted to camcorders. Now, many prosumer users can purchase stereoscopic 3D cameras at decent prices, such as Sony TD10, DEV-5, Sony DSC-WX30, JVC GY-HMZ1U, Panasonic AG-3DA1 or other 3D camcorders. They often face the frustrating issue like 3D MTS recordings and Avid Media Composer incompatibility. 

3D MTS is created by stereoscopic video (AVCHD 3D), the new video modes require double the data rate of previous modes, and Avid Media Composer supports AVCHD natively with the default plug-in (only in the MOV wrapper). It means that we cannot load MTS into Avid directly, for 3D MTS not in MOV wrappers. If we wanna solve this problem, you’ll need to download the specific plug-in here. 

However, to download the plug-in will create more unnecessary AD, and the quality of MTS files are not guaranteed. In order to avoid the loss of importing quality, the better solution is to get the 3D MTS files compatible with Avid MC by using a professional 3D MTS Converter. 

I`d recommend you to use iFastime Video Converter Ultimate for Mac, which can help you to convert 3D MTS files to Avid optimum compatible formats with DNxHD(*.mov.). What's more, it can make 3D movies from both 2D or 3Desources to watch on 3D media players, TV, game consoles or mobile phone with side by Side by Side, Red/Blue and Top/Bottom 3D effects for Mac OS X El Capitan. The contents below will tell you how to import 3D MTS to Avid for Mac.Read review to learn more function.

How to solve MTS not recognized in FCP X on Mac OS X El Capitan

When we wanna edit and get camcorder MTS files to share the interesting movie to YouTube, we may consider Final Cut Pro. Yes, it is an ideal app to edit videos. However you may find that MTS files cannot directly be imported into FCP X for Mac.

FCP X claims Native AVCHD Support, the real meaning is Final Cut Pro X will still not import a stand-alone AVCHD video file, and importing AVCHD still requires access to the original AVCHD camcorder, or a valid Camera Archive disk structure. As we know Final Cut Pro X has a highly reliable camera import feature that supports AVCHD files, you must import MTS files directly from the camera, from a memory card (with the original file structure in place), or from a camera archive. That to say Final Cut Pro X fully supports AVCHD, but it is not possible to import single MTS files.

This is a pain for many people who just import single MTS file. Is any possibility for us to solve these problems? Yes, you need to convert them to FCP more friendly formats before you try to import MTS to FCP X. I`d recommend you to use iFastime Video Converter Ultimate for Mac, a professional video converter, it can help convert MTS to Prores codec like Apple ProRes 4444 XQ, Apple ProRes 4444, Apple ProRes 422 HQ, Apple ProRes 422, Apple ProRes 422 LT,  Apple ProRes 422 Proxy that FCP X recognizes. With the built-in editor, you can trim or crop your videos, add subtitles and watermarks to the videos as well.

Note: If you are using FCP X, please make sure you have installed ProApps QuickTime Codecs. After installation, you can follow these steps to transcode MTS file to Prores for FCP X.
