Convert MTS file to MP4 - WITHOUT downloading any new software

CONVERT MTS FILES TO MP4 - WITHOUT DOWNLOADING ANY SOFTWARE:
Easily convert files in WINDOWS10 using included software Microsoft Photos. No need to download any other software, just use what is already included in your operating system.

I'll guide you STEP by STEP through this simple process.

******UPDATE NOV 2019******
Quick update about a few of the options that have changed in Microsoft Photos.
1. After you've added your file to the storyboard, the "export or share" tab in the top right corner has been renamed to "Finish your video"
2. The S/M/L export options have been changed to a drop down menu where you can choose " High 1080p, Med 720p or Low 540p" which is a bit more descriptive.
3. Instead of automatically saving the MP4 file to "pictures/Exported Videos", it now prompts you to enter the library where you want it saved to.

This is one of those beginner problems that I encountered when doing some other recording for a video. My Panasonic Lumix camera created the video files as MTS, then I discovered my editing software wasn't compatible with that format. Without wanting to download another software package (because I never uninstall them afterwards), I investigated windows10 for a solution. Luckily I found one!

Question: Do you always download extra software for tasks such as this? Also, do you uninstall the software after you've finished, or just leave it on your system?

What a brilliant little instruction. Even someone as technologically impaired as I am was able to follow along. Thank you so much. Stay safe.

I was trying to find programs on the internet which were either requested money or put a watermark on the video and then I found this video. This was helpful. Windows 10 changed the interface of the photos program but with some logic you can manage it. Thank you for the share.

Thank you so much for it! It's been a while searching for a video with a good solution for it and I could only find people teaching it with third party sw.

Hi. Thanks for this tutorial. However it unfortunately doesn't work for the very large(about 1.6GB) MTS files I'm trying to convert. It gets about between half way to three quarters with the progress bar and then just gives up and aborts about of Photo Editor. Very frustrating!

Thanks for the tutorial! Important to add, that there is no way to change the framerate - it will convert videos to 30fps, unfortunately.

Thank you so much for the tutorial - I was sure there's a way I could do it without any external software but just couldn't find this because of my computer's layout!
