Merge/Join HDR-CX155 M2TS to Final Cut Pro for editing with M2TS Joiner
  • Today, I receive a feedback from my customer that he has problems when adding his wedding footages to Final Cut Pro which were recorded by his Sony HDR-CX155 Camcorder. Moreover, there are several separate M2TS files and he want to join them together before editing with Final Cut Pro. As we know, Sony HDR-CX155 camcorder records HD Videos onto 16GB internal memory(for up to 6.5 hours of HD Video) or memory cards in the highest quality setting in AVCHD 1920 x 1080/ 50i quality with 24Mbps sampling (the highest specified for this format). After transferring HDR-CX155 AVCHD Videos to iMac, Macbook or Mac Pro via USB cable, they become files with extensions of .m2ts. So I recommended Brorsoft M2TS Converter for Mac to him, which solved his problem successfully.
  • Below is my personal experience about how to convert HDR-CX155 M2TS Videos to .mov compatible with Final Cut Pro and merge or join HDR-CX155 M2TS files.
