iPhone 5 release date around Oct while iPad 3 early 2012
How soon we will see the iPhone 5? And how long we need to wait for iPad 3?
IPhone 5 release date around Oct?
August is pasting from the calender, but expectation remains that iPhone 5 will come as early as possible. And the news by SlashGear reports a VP at AT&T told its staff to "expect things to get really, really busy in the next 35-50 days, so prepare your teams accordingly." Sources also said pre-orders for the iPhone 5 would likely start at the end of September. This may be the most useful and reasonable news for iPhone 5. And we all see such preparations by AT&T (and now Verizon) have become standard practice before an iPhone launch.
Speculation for the iPhone 5 suggests the new Apple Smartphone will have a dual GSM/CDMA chip that works on both Verizon and AT&T networks. Verizon's iPhone 4, unlike the AT&T version, using a CDMA chip that restricts multi-tasking and does not work with 4G networks like Verizon's new LTE coverage.
iPad 3 early 2012?
But iPad 3, from The Wall Street Journal that the company has ordered parts from its assembler in Asia to begin iPad 3 trial production in October.
"Apple's suppliers have already shipped small quantities of components for the sampling of the iPad 3. Suppliers said Apple has placed orders for a 9.7-inch screen device.
One component supplier to Apple said the company has already placed orders for parts for about 1.5 million iPad 3s in the fourth quarter."
The WSJ's source indicates that suppliers will increase production, trying to improve the yield rate for the new iPad in the fourth quarter, before it launches in early 2012.
So until early 2012, Apple will face competitors from Motorola, Samsung and Toshiba -- who all use Google's Android software -- by launching its next tablet computer as soon as possible, and recently Samsung Galaxy S Smartphone is doing a extremely good job to challenge iPhone 5, maybe there will be another "iPad 3 Killer appear when iPad 3's release early 2012"

Can FCPX import AVCHD files directly
Question:
"Can FCPX import AVCHD files directly, or do they still need to be converted first? I have MTS files from a Panasonic GH2 digital camera that are in AVCHD that are grayed out when I try to import them."
------------------from discussions.apple.com
The truth comes that: Final Cut Pro X will not import a stand-alone AVCHD video file. But it can import AVCHD with an access to the original AVCHD camcorder, or a valid Camera Archive disk structure.
In another word, we can't import .mts files directly from the Finder. If you navigate to them from the Import dialog, it will have them grayed out. FCPX doesn't work with them directly, you must import MTS files directly from the camera, from a memory card (with the original file structure in place), or from a camera archive.
And most of us may think archive is a stupid way, so another solution is just convert AVCHD .M2TS to FCPX compatible formats directly. The conversion is quick and easy and will 100% make sure to import AVCHD to FCPX with no problem. And no matter the AVCHD files are single .MTS files or directly from your camera, you can transfer it to FCPX compatible formats and directly import it to FCPX as well asimport AVCHD to iMovie

Simple guide on import AVCHD .MTS to Final Cut Pro X:
1.Hit "Add File" to load AVCHD .MTS (single .MTS files or directly from your camera,) to AVCHD to FCPX Converter.
2. Set the FCPX output format, here I take MOV as example.
3. Start conversion from AVCHD to FCPX by press "Start" button.
4: Choose the "Import" and "Files" options from under the File command at the top of the Final Cut Pro X window.

Fast load MTS files to YouTube
Unlike iMovie and FCP, it's glad that YouTube can accept uploading MTS files directly for most AVCHD camcorders. Camcorder users are familiar that MTS files are ultra clear but with rather big size and if you hope to upload to YouTube are there anything you should note or adjust for loading these files to YouTube as quick as possible.
Does YouTube have a limitation of video length or size for input?
According to YouTube, a video file less than 15 minutes playing length and no more than 2GB size is allowed to be imported to it.
1.Make the accurate length.

Decorate your MTS files with clip, crop, merge function before editing on iMovie.
It's cool to have a professional camcorder for common guys like us and when record high definition MTS files the superior feeling can only be sensed by ourselves. In the clear and wide lens world, we shoot the thing moved us; fix the focus on the spot attracted us and shoot the beautiful image in a second. Any noisy, any sight, who care? I'm in my HD world now.
After take the shooting back home, we may begin the action to deal with the MTS files.
It's common to see footages shot by some camcorders May ends up interlaced. Juggled edges and ghosting occurs when we preview the M2TS files. So just get the interlaced a juggles edges out. If you have MTS decorate toolkit, it will be a little of case. I often use the MTS decorate tool to clip the unwanted edges by the camcorder, see the screen bellow.
Sometimes I need to crop the MTS files to several parts, i.e. I record a movie for 30 minutes long but the useful part in the middle ten minutes part, so I also use this to crop the original MTS file by setting starting time and ending time again. So the part I get is just the useful par I need.
Certainly, if you decide to merge the clips you record to a single one it also allows you do this because it has a merge function option. Highlight the clips you want and click the "Merge to One", then you get it.
Wondrously this toolkit also offer edit effect, if it is different from the iMovie editing function. May you have a try? It offer edit effect including brightness, contract, saturation and old film, emboss and gray image effect.
