-	Why? First, the 1080 60p is a nonstandard editing format, almost video editing softwares can't recognize it, including FCP 6/7 with Log and Transfer. Plus, the recorded file MTS from Sony FS700/FS100 uses the AVCHD codec. The codec is not a good editing format either for FCP 7. Then how to make Sony FS700/FS100 60p MTS files editable for Final Cut Pro 7? You should know that the FCP's native format is Apple ProRes, so if we can transcode MTS to the native format, we will smoothly make FCP 7 work well with FS700/FS100.	+	Sony NEX Interchangeable Lens HD Camcorders are popular for us, they all can record richly-detailed, film-like AVCHD Progressive footage with breathtaking quality. The NEX-VG10, NEX-VG20, NEX-VG30 and NEX-VG900 cameras are the most popular for us.
