How to Import Sony SR11 AVCHD file to Avid Media Composer for editing on Mac?

Question: How to import AVCHD to Avid?

On Wednsday, I'm going to start filming my short film. I was originally going to use Final Cut Pro, but now that I have learned Avid, I think I have enough confidence to edit a short film with Avid. The problem is... I've never edited AVCHD before.

So my question is, how would I go about bringing the AVCHD files from the SD card into Avid to edit? I know these files aren't directly editable. We will be using a Sony HDR-SR11 by the way.

Along with the DVD-recording HDR-UX1, the SR1 compresses video in AVCHD, the new high definition format that, for the first time, allows consumers to leave tape behind. However the fact is that there is few even no 3rd party support is yet available for editing. Accroding to my experience, Avid Media Composer doesn't work with well with the SR1 AVCHD files. And the highly-compressed content are not so friendly for almost all editing softwares. How to get Avid Media Composer work perfectly with AVCHD footage? A best way is to convert AVCHD files to QT MOV, something that Avide MC supports along with some help from the third-party tool.

In order to transcode Sony HDR-SR11 AVCHD files to Avid Media Composer for editing on the Mac, we need a AVCHD Converter Tool. Video Converter Application varies.
