Summary: Can’t import Sony MTS files into Pinnacle Studio 9/11/12/14/15? In this article, I’ll introduce the easy solution for you so that you can edit Sony MTS in Pinnacle Studio smoothly.

In usual, the MTS footage from Sony camcorders is encoded with H.264/AVC codec. The advanced compression method of H.264 results in much less storage and the same picture quality comparing with MPEG-4. However, the highly-compressed content is not so friendly for editing software. If you want to import Sony MTS into Pinnacle Studio, a popular video editing program on Window, you need to convert MTS files to MPEG-2, something ensuring maximum editing quality and efficiency when working with Pinnacle Studio.
