Solve importing problem of Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS19 AVCHD videos to iMovie '11

The Panasonic ZS19 is essentially a ZS20 without a GPS receiver. Other minor differences are it's available only in black (versus four colors for the ZS20), it's 4 grams lighter, and it has more internal memory available for image storage (77MB vs 12). The software bundle also does not include mapping software for obvious reasons. Otherwise it's identical to the ZS20 in features and performance.

The Panasonic ZS19 can capture movies at up to 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution or below, using either AVCHD compression for high-def movies. 1080/60p (progressive) conveys about twice the information of 1080i (interlace) recording. Whereas interlacing requires two images to produce a complete picture, the progressive method records a single image as a complete picture. It creates intricate detail and silky smooth motion. Even when subjects move quickly, afterimages are minimized to create more natural images. Owing to this feature, most of edit tools can not support AVCHD 60p/50p footages well. While importing these footages in editors, many persons will meet some problems as the below user.
