Posted by admin on January 5, 2011 Leave a comment Go to comments

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 is the American model, while DMC-TZ10 is the European model digital camera with 12.1 MP and 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom. The camera provides two kinds of recording mode according to aspect ratio: 4:3 and 16:9. If you choose to record video with 4:3 (640×480 or 320×240) or 16:9 (848×480), the videos will be saved in QuickTime Motion JPEG. For HD movie in 16:9 (1280×720), you can choose to save as AVCHD Lite or Motion JPEG.

Most of us would choose AVCHD Lite as the recording mode, as it provides high quality videos. However, it is not easy to edit movies in this format on Mac, as it requires high configuration to handle AVCHD Lite videos. While looking for the best way to edit Panasonic Lumix videos on Mac OS X, I find Aunsoft Video Converter for Mac help making the editing easy and smooth.
