What's the best way to import Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1R AVCHD .MTS files into Avid Media Composer? If you run into troubles working with Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1R AVCHD footage in Avid Media Composer, you may have interest in this article.

"I have no clue how I can import Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1R AVCHD .MTS files into Avid Media Composer. Please help."

Importing media is The Old Way. The New Avid Way is to AMA Link and then Consolidate/Transcode, and I actually recommend doing this for all media going forward as it lets you potentially avert some annoying problems before they happen. AVCHD is not a native format for Media Composer, so you may meet problems AMA linking it to Avid. In that case, you will need to transcode them. DNxHD is generally preferred, and Video Converter is an ideal tool to create optimal DNxHD files for Media Composer.
