The Sony AVCHD to iMovie converter does not only convert MTS/M2TS videos to QuickTime MOV videos, but also deinterlace .mts/.m2ts videos to remove interlacing artifacts from camcorders. Follow the steps below and you can make Sony CX550 AVCHD camcorder videos to QuickTime H.264 MOV format editable on iMovie and Adobe Premiere.

Step 1. Load AVCHD videos to Aunsoft MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac.
After copying Sony CX550 AVCHD videos to Apple hard drive, just run Aunsoft MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac as the Sony CX550 AVCHD to iMovie converter, and click the Add button to load .mts/.m2ts videos.

Step 2. Choose MOV for iMovie and Adobe Premiere.
Click the Format option and choose MOV >Quicktime (*.mov) as output video format. To get high quality video, I click the Settings button and make sure the original option is used for the Bit rate option. The application will convert AVCHD .mts/.m2ts to QuickTime .mov for iMovie and Adobe Premiere.

Step 3. Convert AVCHD MTS/M2TS to QuickTime MOV.
Click the convert button under the preview window and the conversion from AVCHD .mts/.m2ts to Apple compatible quicktime mov videos for iMovie and Adobe Premiere starts immediately.
