Mac Sony CX700 AVCHD to ProRes-Convert/Edit Sony CX700 1080/60p to FCP ProRes 422 HQ on Mac
As one of the hottest products from Sony Hanycam line in 2011, Sony HDR-CX700V offers Full HD 60p and 28Mbps recording, as well as a traditional 60i record mode. With the camcorder's 96GB of internal flash memory, you are able to record long-time high definition videos. If you have shot videos with your new Sony HDR- CX700V for the special events like wedding receptions of your friends or relative, birthday party of your family, you may want to make some basic editing like merge, split/cut, or add background music, at the same time retain its original 1080/60p 28Mbps video quality at best.
The Sony CX700 HD videos are stored as 1080p .mts, which is not the preferred compression for editing on FCP. The Apple Final Cut format is Pro Res footage. How to get Sony HDR-XR700VE MTS to ProRes for Final Cut Studio?
After searching solutions for MTS to ProRes, I got the workaround with Aunsoft Video Converter for Mac, which comes with Final Cut. I convert the MTS files from Sony HDR-XR700E to the highest quality codec at same frame rate and size as the raw footage, and then output Pro Res for FCP. If you would also like to go further with detailed explanation, just keep reading.

Step 2. Choose ProRes 422 (HQ) codec.

The Mac 1080/60p video converter will transcode AVCHD .mts files to ProRes 422 (HQ) .mov.And most original settings as the raw footage, like fps, 1920x1080 resolution. To get the highest video quality, just click the "Settings" button and choose high quality for video bitrate.

Click the "Settings" button and choose 1920*1080 from the video size drop-down box to keep the original HD resolution. Click the drop-down box for frame rate, and choose 60fps as output video frame rate.
