Jim,
Thank you for the response. I did try that but the files look really bad. I know I filmed a1920 x 1080 AVCHD, so I don't understand why the resolution is so bad. The color information is pretty terrible, too. I thought that maybe it is because of copying the files with Finder. I have to believe (or hope, at least) that the footage I got is not that bad, and that the fault lies in the import. Is there a way to import so the files are higher res?
