It seems that importing HD clips from my Panasonic is a problem if the clips are 1080/60p and not 'plain' AVCHD. Can I fix this somehow? In PD-9 the 1080/60p clips stall and stutter and play on slow motion. Must I always shoot in AVCHD to use PD-9? And please excuse my lack of expertise!

Some information about your version of PowerDirector and your computer will help us to give better answers.

Part A and Part B.

Until I see the spec of your computer, I suspect that your computer does not have enough resources to edit HD files. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

Yes, that occurred to me; it kind of acts that way. I'm at work now but tonight will check back with those specs. Thank you for the reply ... I appreciate it.

Your best bet is converting the 1080P flies to 1080i, with the (included) Panasonic Hd writer software. Then using that in PD or any other NLE. You can continue to shoot in 1080P, just convert before editing. The HD writer manual will show you how to do this.
