Working with Panasonic Lumix HDC-TM90 AVCHD recordings in iMovie

iMovie '11 is designed to work with a wide range of digital video devices and formats, including tape-based and the tapeless camcorders that record to flash memory, a hard disk drive, or DVD media. However, the latest version of iMovie still does not support many AVCHD (.mts) files. As described by Apple support:

“Some camcorders can capture video footage in multiple formats. If your camcorder has captured video footage in more than one format (including MPEG-2, MPEG-4, or AVCHD), iMovie may only display one of the formats when accessing the footage from the Camera Import window.”

Importing AVCHD clips from AVCHD camcorders like Panasonic Lumix HDC-TM90 requires additional steps- converting/transcoding the AVCHD .mts file into iMovie supported Apple Intermediate codec.
