Share possible ways to edit AVCDH camcorder files (TS, MTS or M2TS) on Mac

While shot some nice recordings with your AVCHD camcorder, you may want to edit them for better enjoyment. Here I will share with you the possible methods to edit MTS/M2TS files on Mac, including Snow Leopard. iMovie As we know, iMovie is a proprietary video editing software application which allows Mac users to edit their own home movies. In other words, you can make iMovie edit ACVHD files in the formats of MTS or M2TS if your budget allows and your Mac meets the following two key requirements: the first is that you have to make sure that you have iMovie '09 or newer version software; the other is that you need the Mac with Inter-based Core Due processor or better processor since iMovie is hardware. Therefore, Power PC G5 or older Macs will not work for editing high-definition AVCDH files with iMovie. Final Cut Pro Final Cut Pro is a professional non-linear editing software application which is the premium choice for any Mac video editing. The Final Cut Pro 7 is the most up-to-date support for AVCDH available, with 6.0.1 being the first version of FCP with AVCDH support. To edit MTS/M2TS, you should make sure that you have installed Final Cut Pro 7 and you have the experience to edit AVCHD with FCP before. Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 is an alternative choice. But it has its limitations now that neither the Mac version nor Windows version supports the AVCDH files. Free the above three editing software applications, you may find that each editing program has its limitations. Is there another alternative way to edit MTS/M2TS on Mac? Of course, there is. Just use a third party – Mac MTS/M2TS Converter, which not only can convert AVCHD files to other popular video format with ease so that you can use any editing software application (iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro CS4) to edit AVCDH files but also can edit AVCDH files itself, like crop, trim, merge, watermarks, effect, deinterlace, audio replace, etc. That’s all. Hope the article may greatly help when you plan to edit AVCDH files on Mac.
