I consider to buy the new Canon XA 20 camcorder, which will be available in The Netherlands shortly. In the list 'Supported camera's iMovie I read about the Canon XA20: "iMovie does not support footage recorded in 1080-50p from this Camcorder". Does anyone know if iMovie'11 supports the format: 1920x1080: 50i/PF25 (24Mbps, 17 Mbps). It seems to be possible recording in this format with the XA20.
Thanks!
iMovie '11, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
1080/50i 24mbps is supported by the actual vers11
for 1080/50p, or material beyond 24mbps, you have to switch to FCPX
......... or wait 'til October, when hopefully iM jumps from vers11 to vers14 😝😁😎

I have no insights, just common sense: iM11 is FOUR years old, FCPX meanwhile offers 'everything', the average hobbyist misses in consumer-tool iM (e.g. support of AVCHD v2, plugins), and - insight info ahead! - on the other hand, Apple is busy preparing transition from Quicktime to AVFoundation. And, looking beyond Cupertinos horizon (I have this priviledge as a non-Apple employee), 'video' gets more&more popular, Vine, Facebook, Instagram, to mention a few. Integration of these 'social networks' is another area .......
so, it's just an 'educated guess' when and what will happen.-
October would be my choice as marketing-expert.
And October has 5 Tuesdays this year ... we'll see.-

Hi Cherry1988,
Thanks for your advice. In the meantime I bought the Canon camera. Indeed it's possible to edit images recorded in AVCHD 50i with iMovie.
I hope that iMovie'13 (available in october?) will support AVCHD 50p.
Does iMovie'11 support Canon XA20 (1920x1080 50i) ?
