Hi - I'm importing AVCHD from a Canon Vixia M50 to iMovie 11 on a new 27" iMac purchased in Jan 2013. There is a significant loss of video quality after imported. Specifically the image is very grainy. I am comparing playback of DVDs I've burned from iMovie 11 to the playback of original video (camera connected directly to the TV). The picture from the camera is so much sharper with much better color, etc.
I've downloaded trial versions of Adobe Premier Elements, Premier Pro, and Final Cut Pro and all have the same issue. I've read so many posts on how to get the AVCHD video into iMovie but none have mentioned quality loss. Is anyone else seeing this loss in quality? If not, maybe there is something wrong with the camera.
Thanks
