As you know most of Alpha DSLR(SLT) Cameras are hot lines from Sony. The new camera A99 as well Sony A57, A65, A77 can all record super-smooth 1080 60p(50p for PAL) AVCHD videos that delivers stunning picture quality. If you have got one of them, you may meet some incompatible troubles if you try to import its recorded AVCHD videos to iMovie for editing on Mac. Below are two typical examples from Google.

Q1: Can AVCHD video from A57 go straight into iMovie 11? Can AVCHD video be downloaded onto hard drive and done later. Are there any other choices rather the using AVCHD video in HD Bit a nightmare all this.

Q2: I’m using SLT-A77 and iMovie on a Macbook Pro, but when I shot the video in 1080/60p, I found the AVCHD cannot be recognized by iMovie. What am I missing here?

What’s the basic reason? In fact Sony company has collaborated with Apple Inc for a long time, why iMovie still can't work well with Sony videos? Although, AVCHD has been around for several years, 1080 60p/50p AVCHD files still cannot be fully supported well in iMovie, including iMovie 11. If you are recording AVCHD in 60i then iMovie 11 can do it fine. If however you are using 60p you must first
