With high definition and delicate image, Sony PXW-X70 camcorder is popular among amateurish lovers and professional photographers. When taking videos, it no doubt is the best choice. But it still brings us some troubles, for example, when we want to put Sony PXW-X70 Video to iMovie to do some video processing:

“I several days ago took some exciting challenge videos with my Sony PXW-X70 XDCAM camcorder. But I was refused to edit my footage in iMovie. How does it go wrong? Appreciate if there’s a big favor”

Frankly speaking, do you ever meet the trouble just like above? And do you get the reason clearly?
