imovie 09 camcorder support
Does iMovie support .AVCHD video format?
Ok I’m thinking of getting the Canon HG10 Camcorder. I have a mac so I’ll be using iMovie ’09 for some of my editing, can it automatically take the raw video file from the camera and start editing it?
Also, once I record something on my camera, and put it on my iMac, what would I normally just play the video file as? ex: quicktime.
Please stay away from hard disc drive camcorders. They have known problems with high vibration levels, and high altitude – and data recovery issues when the hard drive crashes.
iMovie ’08 and ’09 can deal with AVCHD video IF your Mac is an Intel-based Mac.
QuickTime *should* be able to deal with the MTS files for playback only.
