Got a GH2 a few days and shot some test clips I went to go import into final cut and now I'm lost. I've read a few posts about not being able to import via final cut because I'm running final cut 5 so I need help. Is there anyway to get my GH2 clips onto my computer and edit them on final cut while running final cut 5. Please help as I need to be able to edit and use my camera in a few weeks for a project.
 
You're going to need to convert the GH2's MTS files to something FCP 5 understands. Do you have Toast Titanium? I know it will convert MTS files to quite a few formats FCP can handle, including ProRes. There's others as well, Adobe Media Encoder, Xilisoft Video Converter, et al.

Also, for kicks, try a test in 720p as I know FCP 6 will import those just fine, it's the 1080i that the older versions of FCP can't handle without conversion.

Thanks I found this gonna try it out see how it goes
 
Thought you found the one that's been spamming the net. I won't mention them but 9 of 10 links are about their software and in forums, etc. that have little to do with video. I assume it affiliate marketing at it's worse. :-)

I mentioned Toast as it's multipurpose, you can burn CDs, DVDs, and BluRay media, and do a few other things, too.

Good luck!
