Convert and Transcode MTS Video to Apple ProRes 422/4444 MOV for FCP X/7/6

Apple ProRes 422 is a standard-definition and high-definition lossy video compression format developed by Apple Inc. Generally speaking, the best way to get it is to have the Final Cut Studio 2 install discs. The Mac update/plug-in can be downloaded for free from Apple's support downloads website, and if you are using QuickTime on Windows, there's a separate download.

Tips: Final Cut Studio is the most popular video editing software on Mac owning to its flexible structure, better workflow and powerful editing ability.

Now, the ProRes Decoder tool will allow QuickTime to play Apple ProRes 422 files, using the codec that provides "visually lossless, uncompressed HD video at SD data rates" for Final Cut users.

"I have Panasonic HMC-150, I know it records MTS files, but how can I convert the MTS clips to editable files to edit on FCP, I tried to import MTS to FCP natively, but bad effect, any help?"

However, FCP still doesn't have a better managing of MTS video files, especially in PowerPC-based Macs. That is to say Final Cut Pro on Mac with PowerPC processor will not trans-code MTS files to ProRes 422.
