Why Convert AVCHD to Apple ProRes?

AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) is adopted by most HD cameras, like Canon HG10, Panasonic Lumix DMC Series, Sony Alpha NEX series, etc. But people can't import AVCHD to Final Cut Pro, the non-linear video editing software, to edit. That's because Final Cut Pro can't support to edit AVCHD footage natively. Final Cut Pro can open and edit AVCHD through log and transfer operations, but a lot of restrictions still come:

• An Intel based Mac computer is necessary to edit AVCHD in Final Cut Pro;
• Final Cut Pro will transcode AVCHD before editing it, but the transcoded file will take several times of original AVCHD, so it raises high requirement for your disk space.
• It will take lots of time to conduct log and transfer operation.
• There may be some video quality loss during log and transfer operation.
• Your computer needs to install a fast CPU or GPU or both.

In order to avoid the above drawbacks and edit AVCHD in Final Cut Pro easily and successfully, we'd better to convert AVCHD to Apple ProRes 4444/422, a minimum loss format which will work with Final Cut Pro perfectly.
