I also just purchased the same GZ-HD7 and feel that the Mac support is pretty anemic.
Seems as if the transcoding/exporting is the only method right now of working with it in any sort of NLE on the Mac.

Here’s the tutorial from the makers of the QuickTime components.

I’m sure more support from Apple will be coming, it’s just a pain having to endure this process in the meantime.
