Sony's DSLR camera NEX-5N is very popular among the photographers, the fashion body, compact design and easy to use features make it excellent. The Sony NEX-5N users will be glad to find that they can record their memories at 1080/60p, which convey twice the information that 1080/60i. But almost at the same time, they will be disappointed with the incompatibility of the Sony NEX-5N 1080p 60p MTS files and FCP. Even with the lastest update of FCP X, we have not seen the expected support for 50/60p AVCHD MTS. So how to import Sony Nex-5N AVCHD videos into Final Cut Pro for smoothly editing on Mac?



In my oponion, the best method to solve this problem is to transcode Sony NEX-5N 1080p 60p AVCHD to Apple ProRes which is natively yet best supported by Final Cut Pro 6/7 and FCP X. Obviously, we need to get some help from a Sony AVCHD Converter. Here I recommend you try Pavtube's MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac.
