Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS10 is a great HD camera, which can capture and store videos in 720p AVCHD Lite format in .mts file extension. The AVCHD Lite compression provides HD video in small file size but high quality. I’d like to edit the video from ZS10 with Final Cut Pro 7 and upload the edited video to MySpace, but I was frustrated that DMC-ZS10 AVCHD Lite could not be imported into FCP 7.

After googling, I was recommended to transcode Lumix AVCHD Lite videos to MOV for FCP 7 with Panasonic Lumix AVCHD Lite video converter. Firstarsoft MTS Converter for Mac is the right Mac driver for Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS10 AVCHD Lite 720p videos to FCP/FCP 6/FCP 7/FCP X.
