Okay, although, it claims that Pinnacle Studio can support AVCHD files, there are so many limits you are facing like the System Requirements: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.66 gHz or higher required for 1920x1080 AVCHD editing, 2GB system memory required for AVCHD and more. If you can't meet these requirements, you will get troubles when importing .mts/.m2ts files to Pinnacle Studio for editing.



If you’re in such a situation, there is an easy way to fix the issue. Get a MTS Converter and transcode .mts, .m2ts files to MPG, which will save you both time and trouble, and all you need is to drag the result videos for prompt editing. For this purpose, this article will show you how to convert Panasonic HDC-TM300 MTS to MPEG-2 in detail for Pinnacle Studio editing smoothly.

How to Convert Panasonic TM300 AVCHD for Editing in Pinnacle Studio smoothly

Step 1: Download, install and run Brorsoft MTS/M2TS Converter, and then click the “Add” button to load the .mov videos.

The program is an easy-to-use MTS converter for you, which can help you change MTS/M2TS into a different format like MPEG-2, AVI with least quality loss. You should then be able to import the new file into Pinnacle Studio with smooth editing without any trouble. It will ensure a perfect QuickTime file importing, playing and editing workflow with Pinnacle Studio 9/11/12/14/16.



Step 2: Click “Format” bar and choose "Adobe Premiere/Sony Vegas > MPEG-2 (*.mpg)” as output format on the drop-down menu. Of course, you can also choose AVI, MP4, WMV from “Common Video” as the output format.



Tip: Click the Settings icon to adjust video and audio parameters on the Profile Setting as you need to get the best quality video.

Step 3: Simply click the "Convert" button to start converting and everything else will be automated. If you have added quite a bunch of video files, it would take some time to convert. In such case, you can click Option and tick the box “Shut down the computer after conversion”.

You're done. Now your Panasonic HDC-TM300 MTS/M2TS files will be converted into MPG files ready to be imported to Pinnacle Studio beautifully.
