One of my friends has a Sony HDR-PJ440, which is the best camcorder as he thought. He captured many videos with his PJ440 like 1080/60p AVCHD, XAVC S, and he wants to edit the AVCHD recordings with Avid Media Composer thus he can share the videos with us and upload video on the website. But while he trying to import MTS clips from Sony HDR-PJ440 to Avid MC, the program can’t be compatible well with these AVCHD files. 

As far as we know AVCHD format is a delivery codec not for editing, so it is not compatible with many editing software, such as Avid Media Composer. That is to say, Avid MC doesn't supports Sony PJ440 AVCHD well, it takes much time to render. If you want to smoothly import and edit Sony HDR-PJ440 AVCHD video with Avid MC, you should convert Sony HDR-PJ440 AVCHD to MOV format encoded with DNxHD codec, that is best supported by Avid Media Composer. 

Based on our testing, you can get a professional video tool like Pavtube MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac (review) to finish the conversion task. It can easily convert Sony HDR-PJ440 MTS files to DNxHD MOV for Avid Media Composer on Mac OS X without quality loss. It can generate best editing format/codec for filmmakers and video enthusiasts to use in different NLE apps, such as Final Cut Pro 6/7/X, Adobe Premiere Pro CS4/CS5/CS6/CC, Adobe After Effects, iMovie, Final Cut Express, and more.
