    try “Import from Camera”, then select the folder. If you have the footage in its structure as it was in the camera, then that´s how you do it.

    It’s a camera archive, so import from camera is needed.

    Select the AVCHD folder as root. done.

    Actually, FCP X would read AVCHD folder on Mac hard drive with the original camera structure.

    Choose “Import from Camera”, right click on the pop-up window, and choose “Open Archive”. It should be like the below:

    Of course, you should choose AVCHD or BDMV as the folder to open. 😉
