After relinking MTS/AVCHD Clips have no audio

Hi,
I have a problem with avcdh-clips. They had been imported porperly, so that I allready have worked with them.
Today I opended the project, and all the MTS-Files were offline. I tried to relink them - and was warned, that they´ll come with no audio. Which they actually don´t have anymore. I tried to relink the same clips from the backup-disk. Same result. I tested the avchd-clips with prelude and QT-Player - they do have audio.
Also if I import them fresh in PrP, they are just fine with audio.
But with the relinking it just doesn´t work.
Who can help?
PS: I trashed the plist as suggested by adobe support. Changed nothing.

I have the same issue but slightly different. Using Premiere CC. I Imported .mts removed the audio and linked .wav files to the video from an interview. I did this cause I mic'd the audio with a seperate computer as my video camera mic isn't so hot. It's worked fine over and over again. Once the files were edited and placed into the sequence all should be good after all they are just audio files.... WRONG!
I opened my file up after a 3 day break only to find that all of the linked audio from the interview was gone from my sequence. Now that wouldn't be that bad of a thing except the fact that it was like 8 hours worth of work... I checked the file browser and everything was still there. BUt on my main sequence all of the interview materal was simply gone as if it had been deleted off the timeline.... there were even two empty audio tracks left with nothing on them???
I'm sorry but I just have to say after the "premiere can't recognize a filter bug in CS6" and now this bug it makes me want to just switch to Final CUt... how many times am I going to have to start over because of a bug in premiere... I mean 3 months from now is adobe going to release another version of premiere that doesn't glitch and you have to pay per month again to use like CC... Sorry I can't have 8 hour bugs every other month on my video editing software..

Do AVCHD clips have to be render to view them in the timeline?

When I place a AVCHD clip in the timeline I have to render it to view it. When I place a HDV in the timeline I can view it without having to render it? Do I need to reconfigure a setting somewhere to view AVCHD in the timeline without rendering the clip first?

Yes, the AVCHD was recorded at 1920x1080. I changed the setting to 1440x1080 on the HF100 and it plays in the timeline without rendering. Thanks for the support.
So, would this explain why the HF100 footage render at 1920x1080 looks so much sharper than the HV30 at 1440x1080? I have been comparing the HV30 with the HF100 side by side trying to decide which one I want to keep. Thanks again.

Video clips have perfect audio but no picture in Quicktime, VLC has perfect audio and jittery picture... How is this fixed?

I have a Canon 550D and a class 6 Sandisk extreme 3 card which I have been taking great photos and film clips.
Yesterday I captured some content and when I put it into my macbook pro, the images were clear as per usual however the videos only appeared to play the audio in aperture 3 and also in quicktime.
I then tried the videos in VLC and it had perfect audio once again but with picture this time. This picture quality seemed to freeze.be jittery.
Has anyone had/fixed this before..?? The content I have captured was of a once off opportunity for work...

hi,
thanks. i already have that. wmp 9 for the mac. (i forgot to post that in my list.)
every darn thing i have does the same thing.
audio but not video
i clicked on "open in rosetta" for flip4mac and now it does open once more but the same...no video.
i don't understand why nothing is working.
do i have to upgrade fliprmac and buy it to make it work? i am not going to do that tho.
this is really frustrating.
i'm curious - suppose i send it to you - unless i can put it here somehow - and see if you can
open and listen and watch?
i tried it on my ibook and the same thing happened.

CC 2014. Now AVCHD files have no audio.

I'm running a mac and i've recently updated to Premier Pro CC2014. My AVCHD files that worked before the update do not have audio anymore.
I opened a previous project that used the same files and it works fine. However, when I load the same AVCHD files into a new project, I've got no audio.
Any ideas?

I went back and fully removed the old cc version. now 2014 is the only version installed. Still no audio.
I cleared the cache and cleared the bin with the media files. then re-imported them into PP.
I noticed a yellow caution symbol in the lower right corner of the screen. When you click on it, this is what you get.

Some Flip Cam MP4 Clips Have No Audio

I shot 150 XDCAM EX 720p mp4 video clips all from the same Cisco Flip Cam. I opened them in Premiere Pro CS4 using the XDCAM EX 720p setting. About half have audio. When I play them in Quicktime Player, they all have audio. What gives?

How do i make my clips have stereo audio again?

I've been building a project and i'm about half way done. All of my video clips were imported with stereo audio and until now they have been stereo when i drag them down to the timeline, but for some reason, now when i drag them to the timeline they become mono tracks. They are still stereo while they are in the browser, though. Even when i drag a clip that i used earlier in the timeline (when the clips stayed stereo tracks) it comes up a mono track. Did i change a setting? or is there something i'm not doing or doing different? How do i get my tracks to be stereo again?

Do two tracks go to the timeline or one? Are both tracks connected in the path panel at the head of the timeline? Are the clips stereo pairs or dual mono?

C100 files have no audio

Hi,
I have shot some long interviews recently with the c100. I'm struggling with the AVCHD clips. When using mavericks I click on the private folder and then on the avchd file. Preview shows me the clips as I would expect them to be, single clips with audio.
I then copy the entire file structure, intact, onto the computers hard drive, so far so good.
Opening premiere pro cc I navigate to the file copied onto the hard drive using the media browser. If I import the folder called private, I get a report saying some files are not recognised, the private folder appears in the bin and inside it are MTS clips, but on the long span recorded clips, Im getting three or four identical clips with different clip numbers but same timecode and picture.
These clips have no audio both sound wise and waveform wise.
If I navigate into the private folder using the media browser I can see the separate movie files as brown icons with movie and sound icon. Clicking on these and importing them, solves the replication issue but still no sound, showing or playing back.
What am I doing wrong?
If I quit premier, save and re-open then some clips slowly regain there waveforms but have no sound, or conversely have sound but no waveforms. this sound then disappears again, when I scrub through.
I hope Im doing something wrong, because to be honest this is a total mess and defeats the purpose of the c100, clip spanning and premiers supposedly native support.
hopefully someone can help me out.
Many thanks Paul

No Deal.... I did all of those things and RCA DID install a codec. So I thought I was good to go... This what I see..... still no audio.
I set these settings

Merged clips and modified audio channels bug/issue

My problem is that if I create a merged clip and modify it's audio channels Premiere (both CC and CC2014) does not respect the modification under specific circumstances. These circumstances are: if I use keyboard shortcuts or the source window buttons for overwrite/insert to cut the merged clip into a timeline. However, if I drag & drop the clip from the source window or from a bin into the timeline Premiere will respect the audio channels set through modify audio channels.
Here are steps needed to create my problem. You will need a video clip and an audio clip with at least two channels to reproduce this.
1. Create a merged clip from the video and audio. Does not matter if you have "Remove audio from AV clip" enabled or not.
2. Right click on the merged clip in the bin and select Modify -> Audio Channels.
3. Set the merged clip's audio channels to Number of Audio Tracks: 1, Channel Format: Mono. Set the source channel for Audio 1 to anything except Channel 1. Click OK.
4. Make sure you have the merged clip open in the source monitor. Use keyboard shortcuts (. or ,) or the insert/overwrite buttons in the source monitor to cut the clip into a sequence.
5. The merged clip in the sequence will use channel 1 for audio, even though it has been set to use another channel.
6. Now try drag & dropping the merged clip from either the source monitor or from a bin into the sequence. It will now use the audio channel that has been set through modify audio channels.
My workaround is to use drag & drop for now for affected clips, but in the long run this is a pain in the backside.
My question is if this is something that affects other users as well. And while I'm waiting for a fix, if anyone has any suggestions on how to get modified audio channels to work properly, I will gladly listen.
I have filed a bug report for this. I have reproduced this on multiple Windows 7 machines with Premiere Pro CC and on two Macs with both CC and CC 2014.
EDIT to add: I have been in discussion with Rameez from Adobe about this through the support chat and have been told that this is working as intended. He suggested I post a thread about it to see how other editors feel about the functionality. I personally feel that the way it works now makes no sense at all. If others feel the same way, maybe this issue can be fixed in a future update. So please make your voice heard.
EDIT to add: In most usage this might not be an issue at all. But if for example you have external audio on multiple channels and to make sure you have a clean timeline, you wish to remove extra tracks from your merged clips and those extra tracks happen to be any track before the last one(s), you will find that editing the merged clip in in any other way than drag & dropping it in the sequence will result in you losing those last tracks instead of any tracks in the middle that you have disable through modify audio channels. I would think that the audio channel modifications should work no matter what way you cut the merged clip in.

Going to try, but here is my workflow and have not encountered any problems until this last P/U days footage. I've been doing things this way because I found having all files in the project was causing it to crash constantly when I was working. I have a new I7' processor IMac with 24 gigs of RAM. And since Premiere does not allow you to have multiple projects open at the same time (Wish this would change. Avid and FCP both allowed multiple projects) I have to do things this way.
Pre-workflow Project File
Label all Video and Audio files to match Scene #'/Takes
Set in points on all video and audio to reflect slate
Merge Clips
Working Project File
Import only Merged Clips into Project. Either via import or copy/paste
Now I've done this workflow from just about the very beginning. Deleting all of the original source video and all audio clips from my working project so only my bins containing my merged clips remain. Have had no problems and edit has been smooth. Did a pickup day last week, followed same steps as I've done in the past, imported the merged clips into my working project and the clips have the audio set to none by default. Now once I go into the sequence I can manually set it and it's there but I cannot play audio in the source monitor which is how I edit, there's no reason I should have to go back to the crappy FCP way of editing doing the copy and paste from a sequence.

I have a sony handicam and I imported the clips to iMovie and they lost quality and converted the audio to stereo. I want to import the project to final cut X and import the AVCHD in 1080p and surround sound and export the movie in bluray. Can I relink the clips without editing everything again?
thanks!

Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings

After Upgrading to 10.1, all clips have lost the audio component. Is there any way to get this back?

I have recently updated Final Cut Pro to 10.1, after this upgrade (as well as an upgrade to Maverick) non of the video clips in ANY event or project have any sound component. I have a backup of the project and event files before the upgrade, but I have no idea how I can get the clips back and if I do how I can update the numerous projects I have that no longer have sound. Has anyone else had this problem, if so were you able to fix this? Or am I just doing something wrong?
The clips have no wave form when I look at them so it's almost like they have been stripped of sound. If I goto the event browser and say reveal in finder, I am taken to Original Media, but these are tiny files that can't be played in VLC - they almost look like shortcuts or dynamic links or something...
Can anyone help me get the adio back on these or should I revert back to a previous time machine backup and not update to 10.1?
Thanks
Richard

Not sure what made the files lose the audio, but the solution for my issue was:
In Final Cut, right click on a clip in the event viewer, Reveal in Finder
Close Final Cut Pro
Export orginal clips from Aperture.
Copy exports into folder that the original meda was in, replace all
Open up Final Cut Pro
Load project again, it will start analysing the audio...

No audio in AVCHD clip?

Hello, my camera is a Panasonic HC-V720 and it records in AVCHD format. The audio plays in windows media player. It is 2 channel audio. But whenever i import the video into after effects and place the clip into a composition the audio component is missing and there is no waveform at all. I dont know what is wrong with my after effects. I have after effects CC and it worked fine up until last month. I cant get it to work please help!

Thanks for your tip, jukkatilli, it helped me solve this problem both in After Effects and Premiere Pro.
By the way, for some reason it seems to work just fine if you just rename the video file on the hard drive from *.mts to *.mpg (change the file extension). Just rename it, then relink the file in your project to the "new" renamed file. Just to clarify that it may not be necessary to change the format of the video file itself, just changing the filename should work just fine.
The same solution worked for some .mp4-files that were causing the same problem in my case as well, changing the file extension to .mpg solved the problem.

AVCHD clip's always needs to get rendered when inserting. Media info about .mts file attached

Hi
I have previously discussed this problem in another thread. I have .mts files that I insert in a project (project preset set to PAL-AVCHD Full-HD)....when inserting i always need to render the clips and as many peole have mentioned, this should not be needed, instead PrEl should take care of this by itself..and it really sunds weird if it doesnt...
So, why is this happen...i get so frustrated when I have to re-render the clips all the time, since also - it takes a looong time for jsut tiny tiny clips ? I posted the hardware specs I have two days ago in this same forum, and it looks from the answers I got that this hardware should be enough for not having to wait several minutes to jsut add a 6 second AVCHD clip ?
Please look at below image that is a screenshot from MediaInfo about the details for my .mts file I'm trying to add - resulting in new rendering needed, plus the fact that it takes about 5 minutes to render it ??
Please, suggestion or solutions ? I'm lost...I got feedback yesterday that this is a known problem with both PrEl 8 and PrEl 9 ..that AVCHD clips needs to get rendered manually when they are added....i.e a known bug in these versions ?? Any experience ? How can I move forward, I have problems to understand that such bug should exist without anysolution and/or workaround since I see this as a feature that MUST work for people not getting crazy :-)

Hi Neale
many thanks for your time trying to help me out.....
Please see my answers below in bold, hope you and/or someone else can help me with some further answers
Are you opening a project created in PRE8 with PRE9? If yes, that is the most likely cause of the problem. Create a new PRE9 project and see if the same problems after you import the clip and save the project. No, I'm only working in Pr 8.0 - I have this problem as soon as I add a clip..not that into the different formats, just know that the best possible output from my camera (Canon HF10) should be AVCHD..thats why I added teh detailed info from "MediaInfo". can you tell from that info I'm correct, i.e that the .mts file is really AVCHD as expected ? Just to help me confirm that. So, I havent been using PrEl 9.0...another person two days ago told me that PrEl 9 also got similar problems as I reported for my PrEl 8.0 ?
When you first added the clip to your project did you receive any messages that the file was not suitable for the format? If so did you accept the offered preset? If you didn't start a new PRE9 project and this time accept the offer. No, I did not get any messages as all about the format. Occasionally I get something like "Do you want to fix the quality in the clip" ..cant recall exactelly what the message is, but its for sure nothing about the format
When you put it into the project, did you have a red line running the length of the timeline? If you do then your preset is not correct (this is purely PRE9. PRE8 always required rendering AVCHD footage).Yes, always when I add a clip I get this red line. If I understand everything correctly this means I have to hit ENTER key to create a preview file....thats my second problem - as soon as I do that, it renders the clip very very slowly although I should have prety good hardware (According to spec posted two days ago).
So, as a summary. Do you think that buying Premiere Elements 9.0 should get rid of this problem when adding AVCHD ? If that is the case, I feel I just want to be sure about this and that I will not experience the problem again. Can it not just be some setting that is, by default, not correct in Premiere El 8.0 that is causing this or is this really a known bug without fixes available from Adobe?
Best Regards
Helmut

I get "Modified File" message with AVCHD clips after making Multicam clip?

First off, this is only happening to some of the AVCHD clips, and typically not the same ones each time. I've tried trashing the files and re-importing because some clips imported as camera files. There is no DCIM folder in the footage folder. I've re-linked, restared, thrown out ALL the footage, the events, the projects and stared from scratch. The fresh import seemed a-ok this morning until I made the multicam clip.
I selected "create optimized media" and "create proxy media" when I imported. I'm currently transcoding today's offensive clip again, as fcpx seems to think that is possible. Perhaps that will fix it this time, but I've been stuck in a continual cycle of the clips working and then disappearing and being replaced by various red error mesages for the last few days so I'd like to figure out what is wrong with my workflow.
I tried archiving the AVCHD files before importing to the event, but fcpx can't see the files on the computer, so I have to use the version on my external drive. I'm also bringing in AVCHD files from an SD card, but so far today those ones have been fine. The multicam contains a sound file and footage from four cameras: a canon DSLR, a Panasonic GH2, and two Sonycams that create AVCHD files.

There's no automatic way to do this. You'll have to Match Frame the clips into the Source Monitor, find the In/Out timecodes, then load the new clip with audio and go to those same timecodes to set In/Out points. and add just the audio to the sequence.

Best way to import MTS (AVCHD)/missing clips using Log and Transfer

My footage (Sony HDR 500) of an average project consists of approximately 10 hours film and 1600 clips. When I use the option Log and Transfer to import in FCE not all clips are imported in FCE. All other clips are consecutively numbered and cannot be compared with the numbering of the clips on the camera anymore. As a result it is, with those large amounts of clips, almost impossible to find out which clips are missing.
Importing takes a very long time (is that normal?) so I would like to run this proces at night, but due to this missing clips problem I am afraid to do this so it is not a good option for me. Does anyone recognize this problem?
To avoid all this I now convert all clips with Voltaic to .mov before importing. At least I know for sure that I have all clips imported, but it is so cumbersome and it takes a lot of time too. This proces I do in steps because I am afraid to start everything at once. After converting the project almost takes 120 GB.
It takes days before everything is imported and that frustrates me. If the same material is imported in Edius for example it only takes an hour (tested) so it appears to be an FCE/Apple problem. Is there any way to accelerate?
I am working with an iMac from 2010, 2,8GHz quadcore i7, 16GB intern geheugen met snow leopard.
I hope someone can help me out.
Thanks, Jacqueline

While I have not seen the exact problem you describe, 1600 clips is a lot of clips to import at once - so is 10 hours of video.
If you are using FCE to Log & Transfer directly from the camera, your clips are automatically being transcoded to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec(AIC) during importing, which explains the long time it takes to ingest the clips.
Also, QT/AIC files are much, much larger than the AVCHD clips in your camera. If you are shooting 1920x1080 video, 10 hours of AVCHD translates into roughly 450GB of QT/AIC clips. It is possible that you may be a) running out of disk space, or b) exceeding the scratch disk minimum allowable free space set in FCE > System Settings. If so, that could explain why not all your clips are being imported - FCE is probably stopping the Log & Transfer process when it hits the disk space limit.
Regarding alternatives, I'm not so sure about Voltaic. The Voltaic documentation says it only supports H.264 in QT/.mov files, and that would not be usable in FCE. Check some of those clips to see what codec they are. I suspect they are H.264. (Also, you referred to the converted clips taking 120GB space, which just happens to match the AVCHD storage capacity of your camera ... and AVCHD is a form of H.264 video, so they take up about the same disk space.)
In order to edit your clips in FCE, they need to be QT/AIC. Two alternatives come to mind - Clipwrap and MPEG Streamclip. Both can convert AVCHD video to QT/AIC, and both support batch conversion. If it were me, I'd consider Clipwrap first, for this volume of material, since Clipwrap was specifically designed for AVCHD.
The reason importing is so much faster in Edius is that it can import & directly edit AVCHD clips; Edius basically just copies the clips from the camera to your hard drive. FCE has to convert the clips to QT/AIC first, before you can edit the video, and that takes considerable time.
