These users often met come errors when they drag or copy Sony HXR-NX5U AVCHD recordings to FCP 7. There were major issues... many users complained that if a clip was over 5 minutes long, it would take 3-4 hours to import. As we know, AVCHD is not a good editing video format, so we often meeet some trouble and take some rendering time when importing.
