Importing Footage
I am looking for the best way to import footage to my Mac. I currently have been using iMovie to import my footage, because I am coming from the “consumer user” end, but I’m looking for more of a professional way.
All of my cameras use SD cards, and put all footage in a folder/quicktime file called “PRIVATE”. From all my research, this is AVCHD.
When importing to iMovie, it looks like everything I shoot in 60FPS goes down to 29.97, so thats why I was looking for another way. Also – another issue is, when I import with iMovie, that makes the footage be “Mac-Only” until its changed, which sucks. I need a good way to import footage in case I ever need to use a Windows machine. iMovie puts the iCon (AIC) on the files.

One of the cameras the footage was shot with was a JVC GZ-HM35BUSD. (Some cheap Walmart camcorder), but the other footage (same AVCHD formate) was shot using a really expensive sony cameracorder. ($600). (Not sure of the name)
