More and more AVCHD cameras and camcorders are supporting 1080
50/60p Recording, but more and more users are meetting the
incompatible troubles with iMovie in 50/60p AVCHD. Why? The most
important reason is iMovie doesn't recognise the standard video
format. iMovie only supports videos at 24p, 25p or 30p, 50i or
60i, ect frame rates. If you have got the one of Sony Alpha
SLT-A35, A37, A55, A57, A65, A77, A99 AVCHD cameras, you will may
want to get a way imput the recorded 1080 60p footages into
iMovie 9/10/11 for further editing on your Mac OS X.

  From Goolging, you can find some softwares to help you transcode
the video to a format for importing to iMovie for editing, but
you may find the converted video quality is so terrible. To help
you perfectly change 50p/60p AVCHD to iMovie video format with
1080p quality, we show the professional [B]AVCHD to iMovie
Converter( http://www.brorsoft.com/mts-converter-mac/index.html
)[/B] to you. It has the iMovie default video and audio profile
to keep the best quality for the conversion. Besides, the tool
has iMOvie's nativ vide format AIC for converting AVCHD to. As we
all know the AIc mov is the best HD file format for iMovie. So I
believe the program will be your best choice.

your Camera with USB. In both cases in iMovie select Import->from
camera to import your MTS files.

several MTS/M2TS files.
