Convert/Edit HMC150 AVCHD MTS Videos to FCE and Distribute via BlipTV and TubeMogul <br /><br />I am recording on a <b>Panasonic HMC-150</b> (typically in 1080p30 and 1080p24) and do my editing in FCE. However I need a program to convert the recorded files into something FCE can recognize. I do online tutorials and Distributee to roughly a couple dozen different sites through <b>BlipTV and TubeMogul</b>. So far I've been limited to recording in 720p30 because it's the best format that I can work with through iMovie (I use imovie to import the raw video, export as a quicktime and then import into FCE for final editing then do a final QT conversion to mpeg-4 for upload; and to be honest not real excited on the quality I'm getting as a finished video. So I need a program which can let me <b>Create online tutorials with FCE and convert Panasonic HMC-150 <a href="http://www.aunsoft.com/final-mate-mac/">1080p MTS to high quality FCE suitable format</a></b> for editing.
