AVCHD to 1080/60p ProRes 422 (HQ) Converter - Panasonic HS700 to
FCP

Do you face any problem when trying to import the 1080/60p or
180/50p AVCHD videos from Panasonic HDC-HS700 to Final Cut
Studio? In the Panasonic HS700 camera manual, you may find the
page 129 of the instruction manual says 1080/60p cannot be
imported to a mac. Not to say to log and transfer the 1080/60p
files to FCP.

Apple ProRes 422 will be the intermediate codec for FCP to
transcode from the supported 1080i videos. However, for the
unsupported 1080/60p or 1080/50p AVCHD videos, it would be
perfect to get Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) for Final Cut Pro. Aunsoft
Video Converter for Mac is the recommended AVCHD to 1080/60p
ProRes 422 (HQ) converter on Mac OS X to edit videos in highest
quality like uncompressed and lossless videos.

Below is the simple step-by-step guide for camcorder and camera
users about how to keep and maintain 1080p 60fps/50fps from
Panasonic HS700 to ProRes 422 (HQ) for FCP.

Step 1. Download HS700 files to AVCHD MTS/M2TS to FCP Converter
for Mac.
Run Aunsoft Video Converter for Mac as the best Panasonic HS700
AVCHD videos to Apple ProRes 422 converter, click the "Add"
button to import .mts files from the camcorder folder like AVCHD
  > BDMV > STREAM.

Step 2. Choose ProRes 422 (HQ) codec.
Click the "Format" option, and navigate to Final Cut Pro > Apple
ProRes 422(HQ) (*.mov) as output format. The Mac 1080/60p video
converter will transcode AVCHD .mts files to ProRes 422 (HQ) .mov.

As the AVCHD 1080/60p video is with high data rate, it is
recommended to use Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) as output codec, instead
of Apple ProRes 422 (LT), Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy). The
alternative codec is Apple ProRes 422, which includes lower data
rate than the HQ codec.

Step 3. Choose 1080p size with 60 or 50fps.
Click the "Settings" button and choose 1920*1080 from the video
size drop-down box to keep the original HD resolution. Click the
drop-down box for frame rate, and choose 60fps or 50fps as output
video frame rate. The frame rate option depends on your source
videos in NTSC or PAL model. Click the OK button to save the
changes and the Mac AVCHD video converter will convert 1080/60p
AVCHD videos to Mac FCP compatible 1080/60p ProRes 422 native
format.

Step 4. Convert HS700 1080/60p to ProRes 422 HQ on Mac for FCP.
Click the convert button under the preview window, and the Mac
HS700 AVCHD to FCP native format converter will start converting
HD 1080 to 1080/60p for FCP on Mac Non-linear editing.
