I really like Corel VideoStudio Pro for video editing, and I’ve been using it for 4 years now. Unfortunately it really falls down when it comes to the my new Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60 videos which records up to 4K/UHD video at 30p and 24p as well as 1080/60p format in MPEG-4 and AVCHD, this is a problem. It’s not recognizing my Panasonic videos, I even take the card out of the camera and transferred them to my laptop and the program does not import them. I looked on the programs input specs and MPEG-4, AVCHD is compatible. Does anyone have any ideas?

However if you check the support file formats by Corel Video Studio, you will find many videos like AVI, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, AVCHD, MPEG-4, H.264, BDMV, DV, HDV, DivX, QuickTime, RealVideo, Windows Media Format, MOD (JVC MOD File Format), M2TS, M2T, TOD, 3GPP, 3GPP2 are all supported, but why MPEG-4, AVCHD videos from your Panasonic Lumix cannot be imported into Corel Video Studio?

Make sure you find the Panasonic videos

Panasonic hides the videos in a subdirectory called PRIVATE. Then depending which format you recorded them in, look in the AVCHD or the MPEG-4/MOV_STMP directories. They are in there somewhere. Then you can select and add them into Corel VideoStudio.
