Transcode Canon Vixia HF G10 AVCHD MTS footage to ProRes 422 HQ for FCP X Editing

"I bought the canon HF G10 for capturing films, but the video look like crap and even the characters I film skip around almost as if its laggy when I import the files to FCPX for editing. I have heard that I have to uncompress the files and make them Prores? I have streamclip but no idea what im doing help appreciated"

ProRes 422 is a SD and HD lossy video compression format developed by Apple Inc. Generally speaking, the best way to get it is to have the Final Cut Studio 2 install discs which is the most popular video editing software on Mac owning to its flexible structure, better workflow and powerful editing ability.

However, FCP Xstill doesn’t have a better managing of MTS video files from Canon HF G10 etc camcorder, especially in PowerPC-based Macs. That is to say Final Cut Pro on Mac with PowerPC processor will not trans-code AVCHD files to ProRes 422 or directly import Canon AVHCD.mts files to Final Cut Pro X will cost long time with bad effect.
