Final Cut Pro can, but I rarely use it for small projects. Wait a minute, iMovie &#8217;08 can too. I feel that iMovie &#8217;08 is under-powered, and Final Cut Pro is an overkill. Apple, please add AVCHD support to Final Cut Express. I would like to import and edit the AVCHD-encoded clips that I took using my new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B000TVSYMQ\/?tag=37prime-20\" target=\"_blank\">Panasonic HDC-SD5<\/a> camcorder.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>OK, apparently Apple was not going to add AVCHD support to Final Cut Express 3.5 and older. The AVCHD support will be built in Final Cut Express 4.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I like using Final Cut Pro; but it&#8217;s a bit overkill at many times. I like using iMovie HD &#8217;06; but it&#8217;s a little bit limited in features. I like using iMovie &#8217;08; but it&#8217;s missing some important features such as audio extractions, and many others. In my mind, I&#8217;d say that for most of the projects I&#8217;m working on, I can sufficiently handle them in Final Cut Express. I recently purchased Panasonic HDC-SD5 camcorder and it records into the AVCHD format. I was going to fire up Final Cut Pro to work on some videos, but since Apple announces Final Cut Express 4 with AVCHD support; I don&#8217;t need Final Cut Pro for most of my projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple introduces Final Cut Express 4.
