Some video cameras save their videos as .mts files. These files are very tricky to use, and also very tricky to backup. This is mostly because the file structure of the SD Card must remain intact in order for Final Cut Pro to properly read the videos.
In this demonstration, I show how to backup the .mts files, and then how to import them into Final Cut Pro.
This video is recorded DURING my high school media class, so you will hear sniffles, doors, and all sorts of interruptions. Hopefully those distractions will not ruin the content. More videos and other tutorials can be found on my website at http://www.weisbrodimaging.com/classes/
