Ditigal cameras are always expecting a prospect market. In the past two years, the global sales of digital cameras have tripled. Based on the latest report, Canon, Sony and Panasonic had a commanding lead of the counterparts. Meanwhile, Panasonic Lumix series outshine its families and receive lots of favor from lots of people. Lumix series, range from pocket models to digital SLRs, its first two models DMC-LC5 and DMC-F7 were launched about twelve years ago, likely in 2001. In 2009, the AVCHD and AVCHD Lite were introduced by Panasonic to be used for the Lumix line products.
AVCHD Lite is a subset of AVCHD format which delivers videos at 30 frames/s with 720-line resolution. The DMC-ZS3/DMC-FT1/DMC-TZ7 models were released by Panasonic in 2009, they were considered to be the first digital cameras that offered the AVCHD-lite movie mode. From then on, more and more Panasonic digital cameras (Lumix DMC-G2, Lumix DMC-FZ35/38, Lumix DMC-FX75, LEICA D-LUX 5, LEICA V-LUX 2, Lumix DMC-TZ10/ZS7, etc) adapted the AVCHD-lite format.
"I used Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10 to shoot some family videos, but I couldn't import them to iMovie for post editing". True! This is the most frequently asked question of many Panasonic Lumix camera users. Most professional editors such as iMovie (iMovie 8/9/11), Final Cut Pro(FCP 6/7),Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid, After Effects and more cannot recognize the AVCHD(.mts)/AVCHD Lite formats at all. That is exactly the reason why users cannot import Panasonic Lumix AVCHD to iMovie directly. In fact, we can break off the format limitation by using the third-party software. To put it another way, we can convert AVCHD to FCP, iMovie, Adobe Premiere Pro or other eidtors freely if we are able to transcode Panasonic lumix AVCHD(.mts)/AVCHD Lite to MOV with H.264 codec-acceptable format by those editors. Doremisoft Mac MTS Converter is the ideal tool to accomplish the tasks excellently. It can fast convert AVCHD MTS/AVCHD Lite footages to the videos format that best fit for the editing software.
