Summary:To make it easier for editing JVC GZ-VX700 videos on FCP 6/7/X, you can use JVC AVCHD MTS Converter for Mac, which was a great Mac JVC GZ-VX700 Converter.

Have you got JVC’s new line of “WiFi-enabled” Everio GZ-VX700 camcorder? The VX700 isn’t the cheapest of JVC’s 2012 Everio camcorders, but it comes with a modest $499 price tag that makes it a bit cheaper than the competition. To keep the costs down, however, JVC included no internal memory on the GZ-VX700, so you need to add in the cost of memory cards to your total package price. The performance of the camcorder, as well as its cheap construction, also didn’t leave us that impressed— but that’s what we’ve come to expect from mid-range JVC models.

GZ-VX700 uses the most popular recording format AVCHD(MTS/M2TS), which can up to 1920 x 1080p/60 fps. As we all know AVCHD features almost twice the recording time in HD quality than the conventional Motion JPEG, so some GZ-VX700 users that are new to AVCHD are likey to meet some troubles for playing and editing on Mac OS X.
