Don't be fooled by its appearance though as the Panasonic HC-X920 has three major upgrades over last year's Panasonic HC-X900. The Panasonic HC-X920 3MOS Ultrafine Full HD Camcorder features three 1/2.3" BSI MOS sensors for recording Full HD 1080/60p video in the AVCHD format. Will you upgrade your HC-X900 to it?
There are all great improvements to an already excellent camcorder, but some limit still exits there like the output 1080 60p or 50p AVCHD movies cannot be supported by some non-linear video editors like the common tool FCP 7 for Mac users, which causes unsmooth editing without rendering. This problem is largely caused by the incompatibility of video file format and video frame rate of Panasonic HC-X920 and Final Cut Pro 7. To get Panasonic HC-X920 footage into FCP 7, the best method is to transcode the 1080 60p/50p footage to FCP native support format Apple ProRes 422 with an easy-to-use AVCHD MTS Converter.
AVCHD to ProRes Converter is recommended here, which is professionalized in transcoding AVCHD mts/m2ts files. It provides the preset profile Apple ProRes profiles for FCP. And the converted files are lossless. Now, follow the guide on converting Panasonic HC-X920 1080 60p/50p AVCHD to ProRes for FCP 7 on Mac OS X step by step.
Step 1: Launch the MTS Converter on Mac, connect your Panasonic HC-X920 camcorder to Mac computer or insert the SD card, and load the AVCHD files in CAM_SD --> PRIVATE --> AVCHD --> BDMV --> STREAM.
Step 2: Click Format box and you will get five Apple ProRes options in Final Cut Pro. If you attach great importance to quality, “Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)”or “Apple ProRes 422 HQ (*.mov)” will be your favorite options.
Step 3: Adjust video and audio parameters in Profile Settings, where you can get by clicking Settings on the main interface. For FCP users, 1920*1080 as video size, 30fps(25fps for original 50p video) as frame rate and pcm-s16le as audio codec are the most suitable settings.
Step 4: Click the convert button and start to convert HC-X920 MTS to ProRes 422 for FCP 7 on Mac OS X immediately.
After the MTS to ProRes conversion is 100% completed, you can easily import Panasonic HC-X920 recordings in Final Cut Pro 7 without any rendering.
