Audio component not apearing when importing AVCHD .MTS files

When importing AVCHD .MTS files into Premiere Pro the Audio component is not available (also in After Effects and Media Encoder)
What am I doing wrong :/

You could most likely convert them using a program like 5DTORGB, and then pull them back into Premiere. Although there is a chance this won't work, however in most cases I find it usually does work. Just be prepared to lose your metadata.
If your on a PC I'd recommend downloading their beta version it will allow you to transcode your AVCHD to ProRes HQ.

All you have to is provide them a correct email address and they'll send you a download link. When you transcode though keep in mind that it's going to make your file sizes much much larger, however this because ProRes is much less compressed than AVCHD video is. You do need to keep in mind though that ProRes HQ is visually lossless. If you chose to use another free converter program you'll most likely get stuck chosing a lossy format. Another nice thing though, is that it works on MAC too. Your shooter needs to know not to do this again though, because as you already know at this point. It can cause big issues...

  • No sound when importing AVCHD MTS files into premiere cs5.5

    Hello
    I have footage that was shot with the sony nx sf-100 and it is ACVHD mts files.
    when I import the files to the bin, it is being imported without sound (no sound track at all when dragged into the timeline).
    The footage has sound - that has been confirmed.
    I am working in an AVCHD sequence and I'm importing the files using the media browser.
    There are many refrences to this problem online - but all give the solution of recompresing the videos in a new format, although every documentaion cliams that premiere is supposed to take AVCHD natively including sound.
    Does anyone have a solution for this?
    Thanks,
    Oded

    My apologies. I beleive I mixed up my versions for support. 5.5.x should support PCM audio. Thank you, Jeff.
    I have confirmed that I am indeed getting audio with files from a Sony NEX FS-100 camera, with CS5.5.2 on my systems. Oded, would it be possible to send me a sample file that exhibits this issue for you?
    Things to try are deleting your Media cache (Preferences > Media > Media Cache Database, click Clean button). Make certain that your copy of Premiere Pro is activated: check under Help menu you should see "Deactivate..." noted.
    Thank you.

  • HT3775 How do I import AVCHD  (.mts) files to iphoto and quicktime

    How do I import,save, and play AVCHD (.mts) files to iphoto '11 and/or Quicktime?

    First thing I'd try is deleting the iMovie Preferences. In the Finder, hold down the Option key and select Library from the Go menu. Navigate to the Preferences folder and find the com.apple.imovie.plist file and delete it.
    Try opening iMovie.
    If that doesn't work, restart holding down the shift key. It will run some disk checks (progress bar displayed), and then boot to the login window. It will say it is in safe mode on the login screen. Log in and check if iMovie works in safe mode.
    From there, I'm not sure. Maybe boot into recovery hd and repair the disk.

  • Importing AVCHD .MTS Files - HELP

    Since having kids, I have quickly become technologically-challenged and am looking for some help.
    I have a Canon HG10 videocamera that is AVCHD and all the files are in .MTS format. I haven't been able to use this in years because the hard drive is full. Back in 2008, we were told that we could use FC Express to import the files, so we shelled out good money for it, but we quickly found out that we were given bad information. So since then, the camera has pretty much sat unused and is full of videos of my son as a baby. And now he's 6 and I have also had two baby girls since then. So I would LOVE to empty the camera and put it to some good use.
    WHAT DO I DO FIRST???
    I have a iMac running OS Lion 10.7.5 and iMovie '11. I'm trying to scour the forums for information, but since having kids I am completely ADD and don't have the patience for reading through outdated threads.
    Questions:
    1) Is iMovie '10 actually a newer version than iMovie '11?
    2) Is it true that iMovie '10 will allow me to import the AVCHD/.MTS files directly off my camera?
    3) If yes, is this the best way to retain the quality of the files? (Clearly I'm becoming computer illiterate, so I'm not trying to produce any award-winning documentaries, but I'd like to ensure the best quality possible.
    4) I think I have external hard drives full of other .MTS files - not sure how I even got them on the external hard drives. I think I remember this being a problem before because I didn't keep the folder structure or something. Will I no longer have this problem?
    THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

    since version 08, iMovie imports AVCHD
    just select Import from Camera...
    What's new in iMovie 13 aka v10 (which is newer than iMovie11, which was v09 ... no, this silly number scheme is not my fault!!!) is the ability to import mts without it's normal 'packing' as a AVCHD-structure.
    It's no good idea to 'strip off' this AVCHD-structure - for future use, just copy the whole SDcard/cam hard-drive content into some folder onto some harddrive ...

  • Audio does not encode when importing MPEGs

    Hello,
    I am working in Flash 8 for the Mac. I am trying to import an
    MPEG file but it does not give the ability to encode the audio
    track. The video file does have an audio track and I was able to
    import this very same file last week with success.
    As a result, audio is no longer encoded from any MPEG I
    attempt to import. The video works fine. Just no sound. Is there
    something I'm missing suddenly? Thank you.

  • Best format for importing AVCHD (.mts) files?

    After reading a lot of these archives and being a very new Mac user, I think I understand what I have to do here. I have an HD camcorder that records in .mts. I can either directly import from the camera to iMovie (which takes up far too much space) or I can convert the .mts to a different format that takes up lesser space while keeping the original files saved elsewhere.
    What I haven't been able to figure out is, what format is going to be the most space efficient? While I would love to have super great HD quality, these are all home movies and primarily I want to be able to view them, edit/merge clips a little for storage, possibly burn to a DVD. Some quality lost in compression is ok with me. I have handbrake and converted to .mp4, but that still seemed to take up a lot of room...about 450 MB for maybe a 1-2 minute clip. There has got to be a better way, I would imagine, that would store better and also be acceptable to iMovie without translating into AIC codec (which I know takes a lot of room). Any thoughts? I am open to other third party conversion tools. I also can use Final Cut Pro if there is a compressed file FCP uses that will be smaller and better.
    Thanks!!

    So, I've been playing around with things. I used handbrake to convert the .m2ts into .m4v, and when I unclicked "optimize file", the file stayed at around 32 MB, and the original .m2ts was 27 MB. I also used a VoltaicHD trial to convert (it converted to .mov), and it was 107MB. The quality in iMovie was not too different to my eye, and it looks like the different is 1920x1080 vs 1440x816.
    For home movie quality type stuff (and provided I keep original files in the event I ever want to use them), is the handbrake method going to be the smallest I can get? It seems pretty good to me, an extra few MB isn't a big deal...just not sure if I'm totally missing something here. It seems like the .m4v isn't being converted to the AIC, whereas the .mov is. Handbrake is a pain b/c it doesn't seem like I can click on multiple files at once to add to queue, but to save all that space it seems worth it. Tried MPEG streamclip and it doesn't convert .m2ts. Just want to make sure I'm not missing something, because that's a huge difference in storage space.

  • Importing AVCHD .mts files

    I'm trying to import AVCHD video clips to iMovie from my Panasonic camera, via the SD card.
    Had no success so far - what do I need to do?
    Thanks

    iMovie should see your SDHC card from a USB card reader, or from the built in card reader if you Mac has one.
    It is important that your SDHC card be unmodified after removing it from the camera. In other words, it still contains all the folder structure that the camera put there, even the empty folders. iMovie needs all that to import.
    In iMovie, click FILE/IMPORT/FROM CAMERA and see if it sees your card/camera.
    If it does not, it is helpful to put your card in the camera and use the Camera's menu controls to initialize (or format) the card.  Do not do this if you have any valuable clips on the card, however, because this will erase them.  You may want to try this with a blank card (and then shoot some test clips) to see if it helps.
    If that does not get you anywhere, post back and there are a couple of other steps you can take to rescue your footage.

  • Projects settings for AVCHD MTS files in Adobe Premiere Elements 8

    Hello,
    I have read several discussions already, about importing AVCHD MTS file in Adobe Elements (version 8), but I'm also confused a littlebit, so I would like to confirm if I'm correct.
    FYI, I have a Canon Legria HFR26 camera and am using Adobe Premiere Elements 8 (with the latest updates installed).
    According to the specs in the Canon instruction manual:
    Videos are recorded in high definition using AVCHD specifications
    (MPEG-4/H.264 compression).
    Audio compression: Dolby Digital 2ch
    The camera supports making video's in different format, but I have done it in the default SP format, which results in a resolution of 1440x1080 (50 fields per second, interlaced).
    I have copied the video from the camera to my harddisk, and Windows also mentions the video's as AVCHD of 1440x1080 (Bitrate 7672kbps).
    The frame rate is 25 frames/second. I assume this is correct for 50i?
    So, when I import my video's into Adobe Elements 8, I select the following projects settings:
    PAL, AVCHD, HD 1080i 25
    Because the description matches my video files:
    - For editing with 1440x1080i AVCHD camcorders.
    - 16:9 interlaced HD video at 25 frames per second.
    - 48kHz audio.
    The video's are imported correctly and I can play them. However, as soon as I drop a video on the timeline, Adobe immediately starts background rendering the video (a red line appears on the timeline).
    What I understand from some discussions, is that this shouldn't happen, because the video format doesn't match the project settings. On the other hand, I have also read that for Adobe Elements 8 this is normal behaviour and it always start background rendering AVCHD video's.
    Is this expected behaviour or should I chance my projects settings or maybe even convert my video files to a different format?
    Thanks,
    Michiel

    The ability to work natively with AVCHD files was not added until version 10, Michiel. So you'll still have to render while you work in version 8.

  • I am not being able to play sound when I import a .MTS file from my folder

    I am not being able to play sound when I import a .MTS file from my folder on my sequence bar of my Premiere Pro CS6. Even if I use my Media Browser to import the file, the video plays fine, but the audio is disabled it seems. I don't know what to do since I have used .MTS files before without hassle on CS5.5. It is quite frustrating. What can I do?

    Hi debesh05,
    Please mention the Operating System that you are using and also make and model of the Camera that was used to capture those clips. Also, try to make another folder with the same name in the same location where the .MTS files are and move all the clips into the new folder and then try to import the files again using Media Browser in Premiere Pro CS6. If this doesn't work then make a copy of one file and rename it as .M2TS and then import that single file into Premiere Pro CS6. Please update if either of the solution works for you.
    Regards,
    Vinay

  • Can I import Sony .mts files with seperate audio layer into AE?

    I can import .mts files from my Sony SR11 OK but the audio is in the same layer as the video content.
    When I go to Edit/Edit in Adobe Audition and Audition opens Audition reports in details box, "Error:File not supported by any currently registered plug-ins."
    The Audition Audio Plug-in Manager shows no available plug-ins.
    Can I import the .mts file as seperate layers as one can with Premiere Pro? Alteratively perhaps, what plug-ins should I look for to add to Audition?

    AE doesn't separate audio. You'll have to do it elsewhere, possibly in Premiere Pro or tools like ffmpeg/MPEGStreamclip. It's odd, though. since these components are the same in all the suite apps, a file that works in AE should just the same open in AU (without showing teh video in teh worst case). .mts is just MPEG2 or AVCHD in disguise, anyway, which the apps should open without a hitch - if it's not out of spec. I'd look into your camera settings, though. maybe you recorded to the wrong channels or an odd audio sampel rate and it's messing things up.

  • Importing AVCHD (MTS) 50 or 60 fps to iMovie 11

    Hello!
    Right now I'm using the a Sony Nex-5N camera but about to buy the latest 5R model. With 5N I have an option to save video either as MP4 or AVCHD (in which I can set the framerate to 50 fps). I'd like to do that because the slow motion (50%) looks good and I really want to use it.
    However it seems difficult to import 50FPS MTS files to iMovie. In iMovie import from camera window these files appear gray and can not be selected for import.
    I've tried several converters to convert from MTS to MOV or MP4 but they all loose quality - obvious "boxes" when put in pause for example.
    Any ideas how to work with 50 or 60 fps MTS files to get them to iMovie in original quality?
    thnaks!

    Did you notice the parameter setting when you select the output formats.The converter I use  have the default setting and also has the Custom Settings ,and also the HD one,I think the HD mp4 has the good quality,i don't know which converter you using,you can trt the one am using, Download link: mts for mac
    Please let me know you consequence.

  • How can I get my ES2 loops to play correctly? I keep getting the message that the audio is not found when I drag the loops from my audio browser even though they play fine in the preview.

    How can I get my ES2 loops to play correctly? I keep getting the message that the audio is not found when I drag the loops from my audio browser even though they play fine in the preview.

    It's exactly as I stated. Whenever I try to drag these kinds of loops (ESX24 / software instrument loops? the ones marked in green with the white music note next to them) from the loop browser into the timeline a message comes up saying Audio Not Found for that loop.  And a new track is created automatically when loops are dragged into the timeline, so I'm not creating some other random / synth instrument track so I'm not sure  what the deal is... But perhaps I'll try creating a software instrument track first and then drag the loop into that track and see what happens - maybe there's something with the default settings that automatically creates audio tracks whenever loops are imported?

  • 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)
