Canon HF R50 is a very popular seller in the Canon Vixia series, and also in the photography market. You may have bought one and need to edit Canon MTS files in Final Cut Pro 6/7 or FCP X. So, come with a question- can Final Cut Pro edit 1080 60p AVCHD .mts files from the Canon Vixia HF R50 camcorder?

Well, a bit frustrating. The Canon VIXIA MTS files are still not well supported by FCP, as you may encounter many audio and video problems. As far as we know, the problems mainly lie in Final Cut Pro itself. FCP 6/7 and even the latest FCP X cannot support the native AVCHD footages from Canon Vixia HF R50. What’s the best solution to ingest Canon Vixia HF R50 AVCHD files to FCP for editing without any problem?

Since FCP native format is ProRes, so the best way to get the work done is to convert Canon HF R50 MTS to ProRes encoded MOV format on Mac OS X and then you can log and transfer the AVCHD clips into FCP (X) for smoothly editing. Brorsoft MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac (a professional MTS to FCP Converter tool) is the best choice for you. It can generates best editing format/codec for filmmakers and video enthusiasts to use in different NLE apps, such as Adobe Premiere Pro CS4/CS5/CS6, Adobe After Effects, iMovie, Final Cut Express, Final Cut Pro 6/7/X, and more.
