Firstly I should make you clear about this:
Sony HDR series Camcorders are High Definition Models, which store video in AVCHD MTS/MPEG-2, when it output to our PC desktop, it displays as ".m2ts" format. m2ts format is a container file format for multiplexing audio, video and other streams. m2ts format is based on the MPEG-2 transport stream container and is also known as BDAV MPEG-2 transport stream. The M2TS container with filename extension .MTS or .m2ts is commonly used in AVCHD format, which is a high definition digital video camera recorder format.
Then I try to find a freeware:
Through Google research I download Mac X Free iMovie Video Converter 2.5.0.
Mac X Free iMovie Video Converter, a professional free iMovie video converter, is especially designed to convert all kinds of HD and SD videos including MKV, M2TS, WMV, AVI, FLV, MPEG, RM etc to iMovie supported format MOV, MP4. You can easily import MTS to iMovie, import YouTube to iMovie, convert AVI to iMovie, convert MP4, WMV to iMovie, import MOD to iMovie, and convert MPG to iMovie.
From the screenshot we can clearly know about this software:
1 allow import m2ts video.
2 Support clip video
3 The “option” including “Target File Name, Audio Language, profile Setting” these three aspects.
But what if I want additional function? For instance:
I hope to create several video parts one time clip not just one.
Can I crop the size of the original video?
If it’s possible, I wish I can create a special movie effect.
Absolutely Mac X Free iMovie Video Converter 2.5.0. Cannot do it in an easy way.
However, all things come to those who wait and I finally found excellent software named Sony HDR Video Converter for Mac. Apart from transfer Sony HDR video like AVCHD MTS, MPEG2, mini DV, etc to MOV, MP4, M4V, 3GP, H.264 for Mac. It offers outstanding functions as following:
