In recent years, Sony unveiled many striking Handycam camcorders. The Sony HDR Handycam camcorder is great for professional and amateur users because of the low price and excellent video quality, it’s easy to take photos and record videos by Sony Handycam camcorder.
But, it’s not easy to transfer Sony Handycam MTS footages to editing softwares such as Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, iMovie, Avid Media Composer. I just have a Sony FDR-AX33 and now i am facing issues when importing AVCHD .MTS from Sony Handycam AX33 to Premiere Pro CS6.
Adobe Premiere Pro(including the recent Premier Pro CS6, CC7) does not like the way in .MTS from Sony Handycam. The file type is a compressed output format, but not ideal for editing in NLE system.
