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.
