Mac Convert AVCHD MTS/M2TS to AVI for Adobe Premiere
I was figuring how to convert AVCHD recordings generated by my Canon HF200 to AVI format. I own Adobe Master Collection CS4, but unfortunately the app doesn't seem to support MTS files so well, so I plan to convert all my MTS files to AVI format for further editing in Adobe. The question is where am I supposed to find a really good converter for my Mac that has excellent output AVI quality, at the same time, a MTS joiner enabling to merge/combine/join multiple AVCHD MTS files to one single output. Luckily for me, it didn't take me long to find a really wonderful Mac MTS Converter that exactly meets my requirements! That is MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac by "Aunsoft Studio".

You can simply drag and drop your AVCHD files to the program or click "Add" button to load your videos. Batch conversion is supported and as I mentioned earlier the program is terrific for large files, so don't worry about your large recordings from your camcorder. Simply drag and drop them to the converter. This is how the program looks like.

Editing functions are available in Aunsoft MTS Converter by clicking "Editor" button in the menu bar for you to trim, crop, add text/image/video watermarks and deinterlace your AVCHD MTS/M2TS files. You can tick the checkbox of "Apply to all" to apply your present settings to all your AVCHD files.
Step 3. Choose output format for Adobe Premiere
In this step, you are allowed to choose preferred video format for Adobe Premiere. As you can see from the screenshot below, there are multiple video options in "Common Video" catalogue from "Format" drop-down menu. You can choose MP4, MOV, or AVI for output format. For my case, I simply choose AVI format.
