I used to shoot videos with my Panasonic HDC-TM900 and Backup/Copy HD video to Mac for later editing on FCP X .It is annoying when sometimes the file is so large that it  wastes me a lot of time waiting the backup to finish, so I have always been looking for a perfect editing software which can backup and edit MTS at the same time.

Last week, one of my friends recommended to me Aunsoft Final Mate for Mac, which just as he acclaimed, can Backup HD MTS Video in the Backstage while at the same time, Import and Trancode MTS on Mac.
