The Panasonic DMC-GH2 can record high-resolution full-HD 1920 x 1080 avchd movies in astonishing smooth 60i (NTSC) / 50i (PAL), doubling the sensor output from 24p / 25p to 60p / 50p. Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 is supposed to support AVCHD import, but it does not work very well. While playing in the preview window of Adobe Premiere, some frames are replaced by the same frame, or it drops a few frames and has some small glitches during playback.

To get rid of the issues above and enjoy smooth playback and editing in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 on Mac, it is recommended that you use Aunsoft Panasonic DMC-GH2 AVCHD Video Converter to convert Panasonic DMC-GH2 1080i MTS to HD MPEG-2/WMV for editing in Adobe Premiere.
