The Panasonic HDC-HS900 is a 3MOS High Definition Camcorder with 220GB HDD. Featuring a host of technical specifications such as full HD recording (1920 x 1080, 50 progressive scan), 3D shooting via an optional 3D conversion lens and an ultra wide 35mm wide-angle lens etc.
I am a photography fan and like shooting all over the world, shooting a variety of rich content, including people, animals, plants, buildings and so on, as a memorial and memories. Recently, I shot many avchd video files with Panasonic HS900, and was able to bring the output files into FCP and place them on the time line. In addition, I have both Canon XF100 and Sony CX700 camcorder. However it is kind of strange because it shows that it needs to be rendered but it plays the video and I am able to watch it in real time. Once I change the opacity or apply effects, it needs to be rendered. Because I have a friend do video production style, he told me FCP does not support importing AVCHD, the best codec is Apple Prores (*.mov) for Final Cut Pro X, it needs to convert avchd to Apple ProRes, then edit the converted avchd in FCP X. After google search, Pavtube Video Converter for Mac is the recommended AVCHD to FCP X Converter on Mac OS X Lion.
