MTS to FCP Converter-Transcode Sony HDR-TG1 1080i MTS to ProRes 422 for FCP editing on Mac OS X

The Sony HDR-TG1 is a portable, full 1080i (1920*1080) high definition camcorder that records video and still images solely to MemoryStick cards. Its stylish design, with a refined two-tone color scheme and streamlined body, brings a unique look to the HD market. The HDR-TG1 records in AVCHD format, which is the standard for high definition camcorders.

I like easy editing with Final Cut Pro for family movies like interesting events, cats, building a snowman and so on. Although some people indicates that FCP supports loading AVCHD video directly from HDR-TG1 camcorder, but I still could not get through it. Finally I found Pavtube MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac which is the best HDR-TG1 Converter to transcode HDR-TG1 AVCHD Videos to Apple ProRes 422 perfectly compatible with FCP.
