AME-o Audio recognized for .mts files

Really drives me crazy.
I am sure there is audio with this .mts file. But AME cann't recognize it. No issues for video clips in other format.
My AME version 6.0.0.382 (64-bit). And the source file here. Pls help

I am having a similar problem: trying to ingest Sony HXR-NX5E .mts- files, and cannot get the audio. Plays with VLC-player. Log file shows the error message:
Dolby Audio Decode Licensing Restriction for /Volumes/NO NAME/PRIVATE/AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM/00034.MTS
This installation does not have a license to decode Dolby Digital audio.
Updated to latest versions yesterday.
Trying to avoid the problem by setting the audio to PCM in camera, but I would be pleased to see issue fixed.

Premiere Pro CC and missing audio tracks for .mts files

Hello guys,
I used to edit my .mts files with Premiere Pro CC without any issues until yesterday.
Now I import my .mts file (made with a Sony VG900) but Premiere doesn't recognize the audio tracks (that I can hear just fine with VLC).
I tried changing the extension in .m2ts but it didn't work, I also tried reinstalling Premiere but, again, it didn't work and I tried (I was desperate) to install Premiere CS6 just to check if maybe the problem was just about the CC version. Guess what? It didn't work...
I tried also converting the file with Encoder in .mp4 but after the conversion I can't hear the audio with VLC and, of course, it doesn't work on Premiere.
Do you think it's a Premiere issue or a file problem?
I used those same files for other videos (like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1X5vsZ-5yI) and I had no problems. Then I updated Premiere, I moved the files in other folder and the problem came to life.
Any idea?
(I'm waiting for my colleague to send me a new mts file just to check if I accidentally damanged the old ones).

A similar problem here..... although......
Take a look at this screenshot
As you will see, the blue marked audio is repeated audio of less than on sec. Certainly not the way it has been recorded.
I think I've got the answer........ (working with Premiere Pro CC, always up to date, Mac OX 10.9.2; Camera: Sony HXR NX3)
1. Don't copy but clone your flash card to the location where to edit on your hard drive. At the same time: alt+click on external flash card, draw it onto your hard drive location.
(or use carbon copy cloner, which I use for backup and transferring avchd files).
2. Don't import regularly via the import dialogue box (cmd-i). Instead: use the mediabrowser browser, locate the map "private" (as often standard named),
3. Via cmd-a (select all): select all videofiles.
4. click right mouse button and select import.
This way, all the video and audio files will be imported.
If however you have alreade re-used your camera flash card for recordings and don't have access to the 'corrupted' files to be imported into your project, you won't be able to solve the problem. You just lost some of the essential data which were not copied onto your Mac.
This solution I found for my problem may well be the one you are looking for........
Another solution might be to convert the compressed avchd - before importing into your project - into uncompressed .mov filed. However...... you will lose data so this is not exactly what I would prefer if the former described workflow does fix the problem for you.
Please let me know if this works for you or not.
Good luck!
Regards,
Peter

No audio for MTS files in PE9

I'm running Premiere Element 9 (registered version) on Windows 7 X64.
I have some exsiting MTS files on the hard drive (they are from Canon HF20 camcorder).
If I play those MTS files in Windows Media, everything was fine. I got video and audio.
But when I create a project and put those files in the project, I got video only. There's no audio.
For troubleshooting purpose, I install Premiere Pro (CS5) and VideoStudio (from Corel). Both of them worked fine with audio. So it looks like the problem is specific to Premiere Element only.
I've gone through the thread http://forums.adobe.com/thread/731032?tstart=0. But couldn't fix the problem.
Any hints would be appreciated!
Michael

Thank you very much for the info.
I removed the Media Cache and Media Cache File folders. Didn't seem to make any difference. Also, there's no audio if I try to play it in Organizer.
I have a question regaring "import". What exactly does that mean?
Since all my MTS files are on hard drive already, what I did was:
1) Open a new project in PE9.
2) In the "Organize" tab, click "Get Media"
3) Choose "Get Videos/Photos/Audio from: Files and Folders".
4) In the pop-up window, navigate to my folder and choose the existing MTS file.
Was that called "import"?
Thank you again!

Using Adobe Media Encoder CS4 for MTS files

Hey everyone, I did some searching on this topic to no avail so here I am.
Anyway, I recently got an HD camcorder that records in 1080i AVCHD.
I have no problems getting the MTS files off of my camera but as I'm sure you can imagine, working with those files is a whole other issue.
I've found that Adobe Media Encoder CS4 works great in encoding these files to QuickTime format (.mov) but the problem is that the resulting file size is actually bigger than the original MTS file which is unacceptable, especially considering I'm encoding the files from 1920x1080 down to 1280x720.
Does anyone have any experience using AME CS4 to convert MTS files to a more workable 720p format for uploading to YouTube?
I've tried a number of different custom settings to no avail (where you see an "or" is where I've tried different options):
Format: QuickTime
Video Codec: MPEG4-Video or H.264
Quality: 100
Width: 1280
Height: 720
Frame Rate: 29.97 or 23.976
Field Type: Lower First or Upper First or Progressive
Aspect: Square Pixels (1.0)
I won't list the audio options because I don't think that has any bearing on my problem.
Any ideas as to why the encoded file sizes are actually larger than the MTS file sizes? Maybe AME CS4 is not what I should be using for this task?
Thanks for your help,
Tom

I figured it out.
If you select H.264 as the format you can then select YouTube Widescreen HD for the preset.
This will set everything up to convert your MTS file to 720p and reduce the file size by around 30% with little quality degradation in my experience so far.
The only problem I encountered was the video was kind of choppy when the camera panned but that was remedied by upping the frame rate from 24 to 29.97.
Hope this helps someone and if anyone has any suggestions to improve efficiency or reduce file size post it in here.

Converter for MTS File?

Is any converter for convert MTS file to quick time?
do anyone know it?
Thx...

MTS format is a high-definition MPEG, AVC, H.264 transport stream video file format which commonly used by HD camcorders such as Sony, Canon, Panasonic.MTS files are used primarily with Sony hardware. Camcorders make use of MTS in the form of AVCHD, a recording format made specifically for camcorders. Some camcorder models from Canon also use MTS files. These files are also present on Blu-ray disc compilations, therefore they are capable of storing quite a large amount of information and data tracks.
Since mts is not a mac suitable video format, so it's necessary to convert it with mts converter for mac, you can choose the output video format as quicktime mp4.
Hope you resolve your problem asap!

No audio track from .mts file created with panasonic camcorder

I am running windows 7 and adobe premiere 6. I have a few .mts files recorded using a panasonic hmc camcorder. These videos played fine with sound on the computer. But once they are imported into premiere, there is no audio, in fact the track is missing. Does premiere not support .mts files? Is there a way to convert them into a format supported by premiere?

Is the audio recorded as multi-channel? Is it PCM or Dolby? Try importing clips from the camera that have stereo audio. If it turns out that multi-channel audio is the problem, load the clip into Audition (if you have it) and process it there. If you don't have Audition you could try the open-source program Audacity, but I don't know how well or even if it supports multi-channel audio.

Speedgrade support for .MTS files

Hello,
I'm excited about CS6. I shoot a Panasonic GH-2 that records H.264 in .MTS. This is hacked and shoots at around 150mb/s. Does Speedgrade read .MTS? I'd rather not transcode. Premiere runs fine with the MTS files.
Also, when you send out from Premiere to Speedgrade, will Premiere reflect the look/grading changes? I guess I shoyld ask this in a different topic.
Thanks
Max

Adobe has announced las April that they will update their Creative Suite once a year somewhere between April and July (Q2). I think is a save assuption that SpeedGrade will get an upgrade by then. Consider that the programmers had less then half a year to deliver SG CS6... (Iridas was aquired in September 2011, and CS6 was launched in April 2012. And I know the testing and delevery of software takes about 3 months, you can do the math).
I am expecting a lot form the next version as the programmers had a full year to work on integration, codecs, support for various workflows etc.
So, prime time, if you want to call it that, should probably be somewhere in April at the earliest.

Premiere CS 6 workflow for MTS files

Dear All, I am just shifting to Premiere from FCP 7 so I'm a real beginner.
I am importing avchd files from a camcorder's hd. The camcorder generates all sorts of folders. Is it sufficient to save the "STREAM" folder in order to have all the necessary meta data or do I need any of the other folders/files?
More important question: The camcorder names the MTS files with numbers (see below). When I delete the videos from the camcorder's HD and start filming with an empty hard drive, the camcorder will assign identical names to the new video files. This means that I will import clips with identical names into Premiere. Will Premiere be able to differentiate between the files with same names? What is the best way to keep an order within my project (window).
All suggestions are welcome. Many greetings Schorsch

your not gaining the full value from the color in your video. You loose White Balance and other qualities from your vector scope from using raw files instead of transcoding them.
[comment removed by moderator] Start here, then you'll probably understand why [not].
Always and i mean ALWAYS transcode your footage off the chip.
Never, and I mean NEVER, transcode your source footages for the sake of transcoding. Transcoding may help if your machine is underpowered or you're going to do a compositing work and, hence, more power is required to decode several highly compressed footages on the fly.
Do your self a favor, take a raw .mts file and a pro res 422 file side by side in scope and look at the difference.
Do yourself a favour, transcode a source footage into any 4:4:4 production codec, import both footages into After Effects, set project to 32-bit and linearise working space for higher precision while blending. Drop source and transcoded footages into the same composition and set Blending Mode to Difference. If there are some super-whites in the source footage, they will be clipped, and you'l see some artefacts there. If not, you'll see an almost pure black solid, which means there is no mathematical difference in pixels values.
With 4:2:2 transcoding you'll see more artefacts, which means you get less precise data in your intermediate.
Is it sufficient to save the "STREAM" folder in order to have all the necessary meta data or do I need any of the other folders/files?
No, metadata are not contained in the STREAM folder. Copying the STREAM folder only may be sufficient for editing short AVCHD clips, but for spanned AVCHD clips you have to copy the entire folders structure on your HDD.
Will Premiere be able to differentiate between the files with same names? What is the best way to keep an order within my project (window)?
You need to properly organise files on your HDD as well as imported clips inside PrPro project. You can create e.g. CAMERA_1_SCENE_01, CAMERA_1_SCENE_02 folders on your HDD and respective bins in PrPro project.

What is the best HD output format for .MTS files?

Hi guys,
I'm in trouble with .MTS files taken from a Sony videocam.
Everything works and I get my final movie in mpeg2 (or H.264) Blu-ray and the final BDisk looks pretty.
But a friend of mine has edited some of these clips with Sony Vegas and his video is more definited than mine.
I tried in many ways to change some output settings like "same as source HD" or changing bitrates, GOP, VBR (single or double) in HD 1080i setting (yes, the clips are interlaced)........... but my final results are everytime less definited than Sony does with just a (bloody) default setting.
Any idea to improve the output quality of these files?
Thanks in advance
Giorgio

Hi Bill,
nice to hear you.
Unfortunately these tips have not given me an help.
My way of doing is:
Check the input files (format, interlaced or progressive, bitrate, framerate, fields, pixel, extension name etc.....) with MediaInfo.
Open the proper Premiere project (in this case AVCHD 1080i square pixel)
Edit and output using Mpeg2 Blu-ray or H.264 Blu-ray using the best settings I can..
In this case I've tried ALSO to output a movie as much as possible similar to the input format, looking at the GOP also (premiere gives as default M3 N15, but the source is M2 N13): no way indeed!!!!
My fear is that Pr doesn't hold .MTS files properly as Vegas does.
Strange: Vegas is a Sony product as the videocam I've taken the files from.
I hope I'm doing something wrong but I'm afraid I had to edit this files with Vegas.
Tell me I'm wrong, please
Giorgio

Why can't I import audio content from a Pana LX5 MTS file?

Hi,
Awesome as the new video capability is in CS6 (the ability to add image filters is to die for!), I have encountered a problem.
I can import the video component from a Panasonic LX5 .MTS AVCHD Lite video file. But the audio isn't included and I can't bring the audio content into an audio track by importing separately.
When I import H264 .MOV, taken with my Canon 7D, audio is included in the video import and I can also import audio from another, similar file to an audio track.
Is there some special trick involved with AVCHD Lite format video? Has anyone else succeeded in importing audio from an .MTS file?
Kind regards,
Joachim Smith

You aren't the only person: also fails for me, Windows 7 64-bit. Audio doesn't play in CS6 Bridge either, although audio plays in Windows Media, so I assume system has correct codec installed.
I think this might be a bug, here is a .mts file for others (or Adobe) to test with: http://www.newae.com/00012.MTS

Mts files cannot imported with audio in pro cc6. how i can import mts files with audio?

when i am importing mts files in pro cc6. every time it is being imported without audio. though original mts files have audio. how can i import mts files with audio in cc6?

To clarify Media Browser suggestion - very important that you copy ALL content from SD card to hard drive before importing using Media Browser. If you only have the .mts files alone, there is stuff missing that is needed for Premiere to properly interpret the video/audio.
Thanks

IPhoto does not import HD video/MTS files for Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5.

Hello, everyone. I'm using iPhoto '11 on an iMac i7. I recently bought the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5, which records HD video (AVCHD Lite). When I insert the memory card into my iMac, it recognizes and imports all photos. However, the videos are left on the memory card, and I cannot even view them in iPhoto. When looking directly in the memory card, I can see the videos (they are MTS files), but nothing will play them. Is there other software I must install to be able to view/edit these video files. I'd like to see them in iPhoto, and then edit them in iMovie like I was able to with my standard definition camera. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

I have the same camera as you. You can import the files, but you have to convert them manually first, witch takes a couple of secounds.
1. Download and install the automator script from this blog and put it in your dock http://blog.sharkus.com/2010/04/avchd-lite-iphoto-importing.html
2. locate the folder /Private/AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM on your memory card
3. Drag your desired videofile (e.g. 000001.mts) on the automator script you put in your dock in step 1.
4. whait (a couple of secounds, depending file size)
5. Drag your new videofile (e.g. 000001.mts.m4v) to iphoto
6. Finished
Do not try to convert more than two files a once, then the script doesn't work properly.
I hope apple will include support for mts-files very very soon!!

FAQ: AVCHD MTS files

We have heard from a number of users who have reported an inability to apply markers to AVCHD MTS files because the .mts files were moved out of the folder structure created by the camera.
For example in this screenshot I demonstrate an MTS file that has been moved out of its original folder. Prelude can ingest this file and play it, however the Marker buttons are disabled because XMP cannot write markers for MTS files that are separated like this.
Instead it is important that the folder structure created by your AVCHD camera be maintained in its entirety. You can either copy the entire card to your computer then ingest from that, or ingest directly from the camera card and use Prelude to transfer the contents to a location on your computer.
When the entire folder structure is maintained you are able to add markers to the AVCHD clips.
If the original folder structure for your AVCHD MTS files is gone and your only option is to ingest raw MTS files you can transcode the clips using Prelude and Adobe Media Encoder by enabling the Transcode option in the Transfer Options. And if you create your own preset in AME it will appear as on option in Prelude.
The transcoded file is ingested into Prelude and you can add markers to it.

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)

.MTS File Metadata Workflow?

I have a client who needs to be able to search through a huge number of video clips via keywords in metadata but i've hit a huge wall when it comes to .mts files.
I am unable to write any metadata to these files, i'm seeing various reasons as to why this is the case, but no solution.
Spoke to three people at Adobe chat support this morning and no-one can help.
Is there any workflow in the Adobe Suite that allows metadata/keywords to be added to .mts files that can then be searched in Bridge or Lightroom for instance?
I have a keyword hierarchy produced that was intended to be used for tagging in Lightroom, I cannot assign the keywords to the original files but is it possible to create a Catalog that can then be handed over to the client with a copy of the video files so that they are searchable within the Lightroom software?
I have been trying to achieve anything similar in Prelude but still no success.
Am I the only one having this problem?

If you want to rewrap MTS files on Windows, without transcoding (like with Clipwrap), you can do that with FFMBC (for example). Yes, you can than reconect original files to rewrapped H264 MP4 and new Resolve will be able to read your timeline. However performance will be far from good.
Actually there is no perfect workflow for Premiere > Resolve roundtripping for MTS files at this moment:
- You can transcode everything to DNxHD or Prores before editing, but that's waste of time and disk space
- With combination of AE scripts you can transcode only material used in edit, but again that's waste of time, and you'll have to rebuild your timeline manualy
One option in Premiere Project Manager would solve all issues with roundtripping and that's "Create new trimmed project and TRANSCODE media with handles". That way you would be able to edit native, and transcode only media used in timeline.
At this moment your best option is to transcode everything before edit. On Windows use DNxHD, pick bitrate according to your source footage, and everything will be fine.

Import MTS files from microsd card

I have connected a MicroSD card using a usb cable and want to import the MTS files that were creted from a Canon HD camera. When i go to Volumes/Path/To/MTS and click on a file it gives me the error:"Unable to open Quicktime movie - /var/tmp/fcxvrldsd.53/task_copy_cached_uploadEQUFqz: The file is not a movie file." but when i go to the Stream folder /Volumes/NAMEOFDEVICE/Private/AVCHD/ and hit create bundle asset. it starts but never actually progresses.
I heard you need to import directly from the microsd for MTS files but after trying, i am still not sure how to do it.
Thanks!

MTS files will not be opened directly by Quicktime or Compressor.
If these are from an AVCHD camcorder, use Final Cut Pro to Log & Transfer the clips into Quicktime Movies before Final Cut Server catalogs them.
