AME CC 2014 and .mts file import bug?

Had a situation where attempting to open a .mts file by right-clicking and choosing AME 2014 produced an error stating the file couldn't be read, but if I opened AME first and then imported the file, everything worked fine.  Anybody else experience this?

I seem to recall the previously, when I imported a file into AME, no preset was applied until I selected one. Is that incorrect?
Or is the correct workflow to select the preset, then import the file?
As it is now, I have one extra step if I happen to not want the preset that was applied on import, I need to delete it - after adding the preset I do want. Seems an odd way to work to me.

  • Importing .cpi and .mts files into iMovie

    A friend provided me hundreds of .cpi and .mts files of footage he shot on a Canon Vixia camcorder. The files are on a DVD disc. How do I import them into iMovie 09?

    You may have already resolved this issue, but I found out some great information today from Sony directly.  I was having the same problem, and I was convinced iMovie (i'm using iMovie 09) couldn't import MTS files.  I was wrong iMovie does it very easily.  The problem iMovie has is when you connect your camera, most people click the "video camera" icon so they can see the videos on their camera they wish to import.  What I found is that if you haven't cleared off your video camera in some time, and have over 10 gigs of video on the camera, iMovie has a real hard time, because it has to search the camera and bring up the clips in that lower window pane and often times it will basically time-out, and if you click that camera again the iSight camera launches.
    What I did was go thru the clips on my video camera that I could delete (actually watched them on the camera itself), this can be time consuming.  But, once I cleared down the content on my camera under 10 gigs, iMovie saw the information quickly.  Here's another thing I did, that also may help...instead of clicking on that little camcorder icon, use FILE, Import from Camera at the top menu bar instead.  When I did this, it started looking for my attached video camera.  From now on I will clear off my video camera more frequently so that iMovie doesn't bog down looking for possible imporatable videos on the camera.  Recommendation from Sony was keep it under 10 gigs.
    Hope this helps.
    Tim
    P.S.  There is no truth to the idea that iMovie does not import MTS files.  My Sony HD Handycam takes all MTS files and iMovie has no problem with them at all.

  • I have .MPG and .MTS files on my computer. Can I convert at high quality?

    I received .MPG and .MTS files from a friend who shot the video clips on a Sony HDR-CX150, and are now on my computer.
    Log and Transfer sadly doesn't work because of the disassembled file structure... Total Bummer.
    Will these AVCHD camcorders allow me to throw the footage back on the camera, and THEN perform a log and transfer?
    (I don't know if my friend still has the manual)
    Side note: I bought Aimersoft Total Video Converter and it seemed to work great, but the quality of the video output is AWFUL. I'm so disappointed.

    Try MPEG Streamclip for the MPG files. Lots and Lots of posts explaining its use can be found here on the forum.
    Did ClipWrap work on the mts files?
    iirc, AVCHD seems to be a one way format. It may be worth reading through the camera manual or going to one a website for the camera to see just to see if going backwards is possible.
    Good luck,

  • How can I get GV and HDV files imported to Premier Elements 13. I know now that they are not supported. But does it exist ways to get them. I use camera HDR-HS7E?

    What is this HDR-HS7E - a miniDV camcorder that lets you do DV and HDV capture firewire?
    True, the DV and HDV capture firewire into the Premiere Elements 13 Capture window is gone. But, have you
    looked at the workaround suggested by PRE_help in this forum. The workaround is found in the following

  • I have MTS files imported from a Canon HD cam. They import into I movie and I see them in the Finder folders and they preview fine. I have a new project and some of the clips are freezing and some audio is now gone? Do i need a file converter and convert

    I have MTS video files that import from a Canon Vixia HF S20 HD camera. I imported into I Movie. They converted into MOV files and I see them in the movies folder in finder. They view fine and run through the events folder in Finder. In I Movie, I created a new project and used a "Theme". The project worked fine at first but then some clips started to freeze and some lost audio. The effected clips are the same in the project library and in the event library, meaning they are froze in both places. As I said when i view through finder the MOV files preview and work fine.  Is this inherent to MTS files using in I movie. SHould i consider using a file converter to convert to MOV files prior to importing into I movie.
    I found on Apple support site info that states the MTS files can only be imported through the camera. I am developing my back up procedures and now I am faced with backing up in the original MTS files but not being able to reload if necessary into I movie. Any suggestions?

    I'd like to add that after I import these clips without thumbnails, iMovie does give me an error and say that they could not be imported. No explanation as to why, though. Again, they play fine on my camera.

  • AME CC 2014 (latest) when I import a file, the last pre-set I used is automatically applied to the file

    And I can't seem to find a way to stop this behavior.
    If I control click on the preset below the file in the Queue Pane and select remove, it deletes the preset and the file from the Queue.
    Any help appreciated.
    thanks

  • AVCHD .mts files imported but optimised files play fast in QT and FCPX 10.1.1

    Hi Guys
    Panasonic HC-V700 AVCHD .MTS files (from within the 'Stream' folder) imported and optimised into FCPX 10.1.1 but the imported/optimised clips (found in the Transcoded Media>High Quality Media folder) play too fast in QT and FCPX 10.1.1 . Was able to do this fine until yesterday.
    Using OSX 10.9.1 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 with just 4GB RAM (hoping to get faster, souped-up new iMac very soon).
    When playing the 1080/50p clips on the camera's video player they play at normal speed. Weirdly, today, FCPX has 'acknowledged' the camera on the import window despite the 1080/50p footage (previously it didn't show the camera as a valid import 'archive' on the import screen). Now, on the import window whenever I play a clip it also plays too quick.
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Warm regards
    Peter

    When attempting to play the .MTS files in import I'm getting the 'dropped frames' error message:
    "Issues that may affect playback include available memory, disk speed, graphics performance, and processor performance.
    You may be able to get better performance by doing the following:
    - Use proxy playback by changing the Media setting to 'Proxy' in the Viewer Options pop-up menu. (Requires proxy media.)
    - Optimize your source clip media."
    Could the lack of RAM in this iMac actually cause the video to speed up in FCPX? (weird)

  • I need a definitive answer for using Premiere Pro CS4 to work with .m2ts and .mts files

    I have a Canon Vixia HF20 and a Sony HDR-XR350V.  The Canon gives me .MTS files and the Sony produces .M2TS files.  What do I need to do to be able to work with these files in Premiere Pro?  I've searched and gotten that I'll need to purchase a codec.  But are both file types going to be good with one codec?
    Also, what are the steps to getting started?  Purchase the codec, load the codec...Will there be any other steps to working with the files in Premiere?
    I'm sorry for the basic questions, I'm a photographer!  I've never worked with video before, and this is HARD!
    Thank you for your help,
    Michelle

    Hi, Michelle.
    I'm nowhere near the authority on this stuff that many of the others are here, but I have Premiere Pro CS4 and I work directly with AVCHD .mts files from my Panasonic camera. I simply browse to the directory where the .mts files are located and drag them into the project. I didn't need to purchase any additional codec, this is natively supported in Premiere CS4.
    I can't speak to m2ts files as I don't have any gear that generates them.
    One thing you do need to know, however, and this is important. Whether you're running a Mac or a PC, if you're going to work with high def footage such as AVCHD, you're going to need a fairly high performance computer with sufficient RAM, good performing hard drives and a fast CPU.
    I tried this on a PC that was fine for my recording studio (audio), fine for professional software development, but choked and stuttered working with HD material. That's not a problem with the Adobe software, it's just the nature of the beast. HD is extremely demanding stuff, so you need top flight gear to work with it. I bought a higher performance PC and now it runs just fine.
    Hope this helps,
    Chris

  • CS 5.5 and .mts files

    I've got two identical pc's. One pc image was ghosted from the other.
    When I try to import some AVCHD .mts file from the ghosted machine, I get the error message. "The File has an unsupported compression type". The original machine imports them ok. Some import fine while others do not, and the files that fails opens fine in other programs such as after effects.
    Ive deactivated, uninstalled, cleaned and reinstalled Production premium and get the same results. Adobe says it's activated.
    Any ideas whats causing this?

    shooternz thanks for the reply..
    From previous experience, media files contained in directories or folders with "strange syntax" never affected us Mac users. Adobe applications had always been able to opening them regardless. For argument sakes and to prove a point, I'll move some smaller files to the desktop and try re-opening them and enclose a screen grab of the errors encounteres.
    Files stored on RAID Volume:
    Same files copied to the desktop:
    Just to prove this ain't something thats exclusive to my workstation, I've installed CS5.5 MC on my MacBook Pro.
    Opening .mts file on the MacBook Pro with CS 5.5 installed:
    Guess what? I still get the same annoying error. Do you folks still think it's a syntax issue??
    I believe CS 5.5 doesn't support the compression type for one reason or another and that's soo annoying!!
    Seems the only way I'm able to edit these files for the time being is to downgrade to CS5
    FYI:
    Those files were shot on a Canon ivis HF11 and PPro CS5 had no troubles opening them, no mater what the syntax.

  • Premier CS3 and MTS files

    So, is Premier CS3 unable to recognize and handle MTS files?  I just got an HD camcorder that shoots AVCHD and the files, which have an .MTS extension, don't appear when I browse to import into Premier.  I just want to confirm that I'm SOL.  If so, I'm assuming my only workaround is to convert the files to SD in the camera and give up on HD until I upgrade my software?  Or else, is there a plug-in or something that will give CS3 the ability to work with these?
    Thanks in advance for any advice! 

    I got this yesterday and tested it...works pretty well for cs3 which is what I use.  However, the source video I converted had 6 audio channels and sound woud not go into cs3 with converted file ...so I used the same conversion program to extract the sound as a wav file, and that went into cs3 nicely...
    You would want to "link" the audio and video once in cs3..if you have similar issues someday
    This is the program I got ( only if you cannot afford cineform neoscene right now )
    AVCHD CONVERTER and export info aunsoft 29 dollars
    http://www.aunsoft.com/mts-converter/
    This is what I converted the avchd file to using that program
    hope that helps

  • FCP X and MTS files (Panasonic Camera)

    When I try to import (1080/60p)footage from the Panasonic AVCHD camera FXP tells me there are no importable files. After I have read through the documentation here and tried to copy the entire file structure to my HD and then import it-No Luck
    I can play the files by using VLC to search through the directory structure until I find the MTS files. Play perfectly-
    Is the problem in the type of footage (P) vs (I) that FCP can't use?
    Any suggestions on how to import- it's such a popluar format I didn't anticipate any problemshere-

    Hey Tome you had this post that I had looked at "
    Tom Wolsky The Americas
    Re: Importing AVCHD files for archive 
    Aug 21, 2012 1:44 PM (in response to jgo687)
    You make a folder and archive the entire folder structure of the AVCHD card."
    So I had tried that as well- was able to copy perfectly still nothing- I am becomeing more convinded it's the 1080/60P panasonic becuase when I shoot something WITHOUT this- I can import fine-

  • Premiere 9 and .mts files

    Does anyone know if Premiere 9 supports the Canon Vixia .mts files.  Is it necessary to convert before importing and editing?  I've have not been editing in a while.  I still have Elements 2 and my mini dv camera just died.  Looking at one of the Vixia HF models and upgrading to elements 9.  Any suggestions?

    If one only has two physical HDD's, I would do a layout such as this:
    C:\ OS, programs and Page File (Windows Virtual Memory)
    D:\ Assets, Project and Scratch Disks
    If I had three HDD's (physical and NOT partitions), then I would split out the Assets and the Projects/Scratch Disks.
    The idea is to spread the I/O load over as many physical HDD's, as is possible. In PrPro circles, users spread Exports to another HDD, and also break out Audio from Video and place those on yet another HDD. The more HDD's, the better for total performance.
    Good luck, and hope that helps,
    Hunt
    PS - though I have one 3x HDD setup and then an 8x HDD setup, I often edit to/from FW-800 HDD's, to migrate my Projects between the laptop and the workstation. In that case, I have all Assets, the Project files and the Scratch Disks on the single external HDD. That is less than ideal for pure performance, but allows the migration, so I live with a bit of a slowdown. This ends up being like a 2 HDD setup, except that the FW-800 external is not as fast as an internal SATA. I live with that setup fine, so if you have only two SATA internals, you will still be ahead of me, with those migrating Projects.

  • Premiere Elements 7 and .MTS Files

    I hope someone can help.. I have a new Panasonic SDC-HD1 that shoots High Def .mts files. Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0 recognizes them and I can even drop one onto the SCENE LINE and it shows up. HOWEVER, any other .MTS files I drop onto the scene line, do not show up there.. THEY do show up on the TIME LINE but on different LINES under VIDEO 2 VIDEO 3 VIDEO 4 VIDEO 5 etc etc etc. NOTHING shows up on the scene line. how do I resolve this so the videos show up on the scene line so I can add transitions etc? the program seems to work fine with regular SD video clips and my 720P MP4 files. it just has an issues with the .mts files..
    ANy help would be appreciated...

    Paul LS - I have a similar problem but can't find the right project preset or customize an existing project preset. As in Dave Hauss' original post, when I drag files onto the Sceneline they are bunched together in one scene, and when I switch to the Timeline they appear on separate tracks, e.g., Video4 and Audio4, Video5 and Audio5, etc. I have a new Sony DCR-SR220 hard disk drive camcorder that shoots standard definition Widescreen NTSC Video, 720x480 frame size, 16:9 ratio, and the audio is Dolby 5.1. The preset under NTSC | Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorder | Widescreen 48kHz only has Stereo audio, not Dolby 5.1. If I try to pick a preset for 5.1 audio, such as NTSC | AVCHD | HD 1080i 30 5.1 channel, then I can't edit the incorrect video settings from HD back to SD. Is there any way to truly customize an existing project preset, or create a new project preset from scratch, to be able to use the Sceneline? Thanks for your help.

  • Nikon D5300 and NEF file import problem

  • MTS File Import CS6

    I have read through quite a few discussions on this, but I have tried many things and am really stuck right now.
    Just finished a 3 camera wedding and the wide locked down cam was a Canon camcorder(Vixia HF M301) shooting 30(60i) AVCHD
    When I import the files in the media browser to the project, everything is fine all the way from 00000 - 00035. 00036 is correct, but repeats itself through 00039.
    00040 appears to be correct but repeats itself through 00046.
    I have tried using media browser and file import methods and also dragging the clips directly onto the timeline. I have tried multiple methods of importing the private folder and directly with the file. The windows directory shows a matching XMP file with every clip which Premiere CS6 doesnt seem to recognize.
    I had experienced something like this once on an older Canon camcorder using a hexidecimal file numbering system.
    This is the reception section and since this cam ran for all most all of eve, I need it to sync audio with two other cams. I guess an option would be to re-encode providing that media encoder will recognize them correctly,and provided they would match relinking them, if not I am in deep doo-doo.This is a fresh project, and I have even tried to import them into CS5.5 to no avail.
    Any thoughts or suggestions?
    Thanks

    Jim after a very long and frustrating day I finally managed to get it to work per your suggestion. I have always been diligent about copying all of the folder structure and making backups with my cards. I shoot GH2's and haven't had to deal with spanned files.
    I had read your instructions earlier today while researching, and every attempt I made at getting to the file at the bottom of the directory, the view as AVCHD was grayed out. Just now cleaned the caches and dumped the prefs and made a fresh project, and was able to get view as avchd to work for the first time. Very happy right about now, and looking forward to editing tomorrow! Thanks so much!
