Sony Alpha NEX-5R has much to recommend it as a top-flight large-sensor, interchangeable-lens camcorder and as a worth-the-upgrade successor to the Sony NEX 5N. It can shoot 1080 60p (50p for PAL)full HD resolution up to 240 fps in short bursts. . However, users find it's difficult to import 60p AVCHD clips to Avid Media Composer.

In fact, Avid doesn't do 1080p60. Very few NLE's do. Actually, 60fps at 1080 is a non-standard format and Avid only works with standard film and broadcast formats. Although, Avid MC has added some plug-ins, actually background converters for the high-definition video format AVCHD, the importing process are unbelievably slow. In order to import the AVCHD to Avid MC for editing, the easy workaround is to transcode 60p MTS to Avid compatible video formats DNxHD .mov. Along with some help from a top AVCHD MTS Converter, it can be done. To help those who wanna edit MTS files in Avid Media Composer without problems, here I share with you a simple guide on how to convert AVCHD clips to edit in Avid MC on Mac.
