Import Canon Camcorder AVCHD/MOV files to FCP with Mac Camcorder
video converter

As a great non-linear video editing application, Final Cut Pro
has gained the favor of different people, from video hobbyists,
independent filmmakers to film and television editors. Final Cut
Pro provides non-linear, non-destructive editing of any QuickTime
compatible video format including DV, HDV, P2 MXF (DVCProHD),
XDCAM, and 2K film formats. Seems powerful enough? Even so, users
always encounter troubles when importing clips shot by different
cameras or camcorders, like Canon Vixia AVCHD, etc. In that way,
you have to consider transferring Canon Camcorder videos to FCP
compatible file types before importing, such as Apple ProRes
4444, Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), Apple ProRes 422,Apple ProRes 422
(LT), and Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy).
Now that we’ve talked about importing, I’d like to say something
different between Final Cut Pro 7 and the newest Final Cut Pro X.

Three ways are available for importing.
1. Importing from File-Based Cameras
2. Importing from FireWire Cameras and Decks
3. Importing Files - You can import files into Final Cut Pro X by
choosing Import > Files or by dragging files directly into the
Event Library. You don’t need to specify whether you’re importing
an individual file or a folder, as you do in Final Cut Pro 7.

Understanding the similarities and differences between Final Cut
Pro 7 and Final Cut Pro X will allow you to work faster than ever
with this new breakthrough application.

Back to the point, if you have troubles while importing different
Canon Camcorder videos to FCP, what to do? As we’ve mentioned at
the beginning, you have to consider converting Canon avchd/mov
footage to FCP workable format before importing. Indeed, there
are numbers of Canon video converter software in the market.
Choosing a good converter or a bad one will decide the quality of
your editing material, so it’s serious. Aunsoft Canon Camcorder
video converter for Mac will never let you down. It not only
provides expert format preset for Final Cut Pro, but also offers
