Are you a Sony Handycam HDR-CX130 user? If so, you should know it can
record Full HD (1080 60p) AVCHD videos. If you also like editing movies to share
with friends or family, you may know that 1080 60p (1080/50p in Europe) MTS
recordings from Sony CX130 can't be edited in some Video Editing Softwares
including FCP/FCE/iMovie. The reason is that the 1080p@60pfs AVCHD is a high
compression format and some Video Editing Softwares can't surpport it well.
From Google, I found some users wanted to know how to
import
HDR-CX130 1080/60p AVCHD to iMovie. As far as we know, AVCHD is not the
natively supported video format of iMovie, but Apple InterMediate Codec is. To
make your Sony MTS/M2TS files work well with iMovie, you need to transcode files
to Apple Intermediate Codec, which is recommended for use with all HD workflows
in iMovie by using a top MTS Converter for iMovie.
