MOV (QuickTime Movie) is Apple's professional video container, supporting ProRes, timecode tracks, multiple video angles, and edit decision lists. MTS/AVCHD files use MPEG-2 Transport Stream — functional for camera storage but poorly suited for professional post-production. Converting MTS to MOV brings camcorder footage into Apple's production ecosystem with proper container support for Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Compressor.
Final Cut Pro is the NLE of choice for many videographers who shoot on AVCHD camcorders. While Final Cut can import MTS files, the process involves a background transcode that adds import latency and can introduce audio sync issues. Starting with a native MOV file — especially one encoded in ProRes — gives Final Cut instant access to every frame with zero import overhead.
ProRes in MOV is the industry standard for broadcast post-production, color grading, and VFX compositing. It uses intra-frame-only compression (each frame is independent) which provides instant seeking, consistent decode performance, and excellent quality for multi-generation editing. Converting AVCHD camcorder footage to ProRes MOV is the standard first step in professional post-production workflows.
For ProRes encoding: `-vf yadif -c:v prores_ks -profile:v 2 -c:a pcm_s16le -ar 48000 -f mov`. ProRes profiles: 0=Proxy (~45 Mbps), 1=LT (~100 Mbps), 2=Standard (~145 Mbps), 3=HQ (~220 Mbps). For a simple re-wrap (keeping H.264): `-vf yadif -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -c:a pcm_s16le -f mov`. Deinterlacing with yadif or bwdif is essential for AVCHD 1080i content.
ProRes is visually lossless — its intra-frame compression preserves virtually all source detail while providing consistent per-frame quality that inter-frame codecs like H.264 cannot guarantee. Even ProRes Proxy outperforms AVCHD's H.264 in terms of editing performance, though it uses higher bitrates.
