Please, how to get mts files into iMovie

Maryann

The question is, how did you get "BluRay" clips saved to DropBox? What device created? What storage medium of source file?

DropBox does not change anything at all - ever. It is just a Sky Drive that appears seamlessly in the Finder, with some modification tracking App going on.

QuickTime does not read/play MTS files. As a matter of fact, it appears that only a Apps do.

I am asking that this be moved to Yosemite / iMovie - or wherever the Hosts may see fit.

ÇÇÇ

I can't help with Dropbox as I don't use it, but here is some info from another thread:

How do you convert .mts to .mov for Quicktime and iMovie?

that info is contrary to this link, where it appears that you will need something other than iMovie to read them

http://fileinfo.com/extension/mts

.mts (and .m2ts) files are used by cameras recording in AVCHD. With iMovie 10 (unlike earlier versions) you should be able to simply drag and drop these files from your dropbox folder into an open iMovie event pane with the Finder.
