Sony HXR-NX80 iMovie | Edit HXR-NX80 AVCHD in iMovie

"Hey, I've had trouble with Sony HXR-NX80 mts files in iMovie. iMovie hung several times trying to import all that media at once (leaving in location, not copying to the stupid library secret archive). I've broken it down into chunks to import, and some folders are fine, but the MTS clips don't look promising (loooong progress bars of Processing Files for Import that don't seem to progress). It seems to me that iMovie just can't handle any volume of MTS files. Can anyone think of any alternative workflows, or anything I'm missing before I toss it in trash? Actually, this is my first iMovie project. I would really appreciate any help."

You are probably trying to edit .MTS files extracted from the AVCHD wrapper. The performance issues you describe are a known issue.

Play 4K MKV on Vizio Smart TV from USB port

Best workaround to play any MKV videos on Vizio Smart TV from USB by convert MKV to Vizio Smart TV preset profile formats. "Does anyone know what should be done for this particular Smart TV brand to play MKV videos correctly? What happens is that the TV can't either read the file or when it does the images are kind of distorted with poor audio. I did a Google search and someone was saying that the USB drive from which the TV is reading the files from needs to be formatted to FAT32 otherwise they won't work? Is this the real reason? Am I missing something else. Ultimately I can get an HDMI cable and playing the files from laptop to TV, but I wait first for the non-cable option. Cheers!"
