AVCHD/ MTS FILES ARE NOT SEPARATED IN CLIPS

Adobe Premiere Elements 7 : I have clips from my AVCHD camera on my harddisk. I see the clips and I can drag them to the sceneline. However............every clip I drag to the sceneline is 'stagged' on to the first one! I donn't see the separate clips. (while they are shown as separate clips in the browser.................I tried everything, If you look in the preview the clips are nicely put behind eachother, but this way I cann't put another clip in between or a photo.
Does anyone else has this problem? Please help me. Now the program is worthless to me.

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.
http://rarevision.com/5dtorgb/
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...

"Clip's Media Files are Not Currently Available" Alert Message

I am making an video project for school and so I put the video clips (JPEG) into my iPhoto Library and I put them together as a project. A few days later I went back to work on the project and I'm getting an alert symbol on the video clips that says "This clips media files are not currently available" when I hover over it. Does anyone know why?
Also, I need to export the project as an AVI or MPEG file and when I click 'Export Using Quicktime' an error message pops up that says "Missing Media... The following Event used in this project is not currently available: iPhoto Videos - English Video Poetry Project - The portions of the project which reference this Event will show black frames." Is this because of the alert that says my media files are not available?
Thank you!

This happens if you either delete your original films or rename the event in iPhoto. If you deleted the original film, you're stuck. If you just renamed it in iPhoto, the fix is simple: quit iMovie, rename the album in iPhoto back to whatever it was (whatever it says in the error message - in your case "English Video Poetry Project") then open iMovie. It should now be ok, and while iMovie is open, you can rename your album (in iPhoto) to whatever you like.
Note: if you rename your album, iMovie will cope but won't automatically save the change, so it will break next time you load it. To fix that, make some small change to the movie. Exporting it might work, haven't tried.

Why do AVCHD (.mts) video thumbnails not appear in Organizer 8?

Thumbnails for video clips imported into Organizer 8 (via Premiere Elements 8) are not appearing for AVCHD (.mts) files. Numerous online forums show this is a common issue, however other than renaming file extensions from .mts to .m2ts, I have not found any other more practical solutions. Adobe customer service was of no help. Other proposed solutions such as installing new codecs have not solved the issue. Any ideas?

I am having the same problem on both systems that I run Premiere Elements 8 Organizer. All software and drivers are up to date.The only way that I can get thumbnails to display for AVCHD files in the Organizer, is to change the file extension from .mts to .m2ts. In my opinion, that is clearly a bug with the Organizer that must be fixed by Adobe ASAP. Organizing video without thumbnails is next to useless.
If you start a new project and open Premier Elements you can create the thumbnails for AVCHD files with the .mts extension by right clicking each one and selecting Update Thumbnail (which is laborious, at best). However, when you exit the project and go back to Organizer the thumbnails are still not there, nor can you create them. Next, go back into Elements and the thumbnails are there.
Can you say bug!
Update 07/15/10: I contacted technical support and they said that this is a known problem. The only solution, if you could call it that, is to use file renaming utility to change all your file extensions from .mts to .m2ts. I hope they fix this problem and release an update soon, as all I shoot these days is AVCHD with the Panasonic HDC-TM700K.

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)

Renaming AVCHD .mts files

We are moving towards editing our AVCHD media natively now that Media Cache Files can be shared between multiple editing systems (this means we don't have to re-cache media when working from different workstations). I've been testing the setup (Source media and Media Cache Files on NAS, Media Cache Database on local drives - all systems' clocks synced via NTP) and it seems to work pretty well -- no re-caching!
The only thing I don't like is that all the .mts files are still named "00000.mts" and so on....
I've tried re-naming the .mts files with Bridge (tried also selecting "keep original file name in metadata), and while that works just fine, it breaks all the metadata and I lose timecode and spanned clips get split. This is not good and not worth it. I also tried re-naming the files on ingest with Prelude. That worked well and re-named all the files within Prelude, and those names came through when sending the media to a Premiere project. However, the .mts files retain their original name. So far, this does not seem to be a problem overall because the cache files don't see to interfere with each other even though i have multiple files of the same name (credit to Adobe for this working), and reconnecting files actually shows you the original file path so that I can re-connect my media to the correct "00000.mts" file.....
....but.. I would still like to re-name my .mts files so that I don't have hundreds of the same file names and for archiving purposes.
Soooooooo...... will it ever be possible to re-name .mts files without breaking the metadata/file structure?

Hi Diego,
Since you are having trouble with this, I would suggest filing a feature request here: http://adobe.ly/feature_request
It would be great if all people viewing this thread and having this issue would do the same.
Thanks,

Streaming AVCHD MTS files to Apple TV

I am still in search of the holy grail I think... I have yet to be able to figure out how to easily grab my MTS files from my Mac and stream them *as is* without transcoding, converting, etc on my TV. I just bought new Apple TV not for that purpose but can't seem to find anywhere here if I can use it to to stream AVCHD MTS files to my HDTV. Does anyone know? thanks

I just bought new Apple TV not for that purpose but can't seem to find anywhere here if I can use it to to stream AVCHD MTS files to my HDTV. Does anyone know?
I hate to point out the obvious, but the normal practice is for the user to purchase the device that supports what he wants to do and not buy a device and the try to force it to do something it was not designed to do.
To begin with, QT does not support Transport Streams such as TS/MTS/M2TS at all and only supports muxed MPEG-2 Program Streams employing specific audio formats... and then not natively. In other words, your file containers are not compatible with the QT player built into the TV/TV2 device. And, even if you place the data in a supported container, the audio and video data may or may not be compatible with the player codecs embedded in the device firmware.
If your primary purpose is to stream content muxed in an MPEG/MPG/MTS/M2TS wrapper, it might be more prudent to purchase a device designed specifically for such content. For instance, I gave my wife, brother-in-law, and son TV2 devices for Christmas. However, my father-in-law insisted on a device the would play the videos from his camcorder and indicated that at 87 years of age, he had no intention of transcoding anything. As a result, I got him the LaCinema Mini HD device. While I cannot confirm that your files would be compatible with this particular device, it or something similar may meet your needs.
Basically, you have three options here:
1) You can convert your content to make it compatible with the TV device,
2 You can "hack" the TV device and modify its capabilities, or
3) You can buy a device that actually does what you originally want it to do.

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 ...

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.

Does iMovie 11 support native AVCHD (.mts) files?

Native AVCHD file support is the first thing I expected for the new iMovie. Does iMovie 11 support native AVCHD (.mts) files? Or it has the same painful way of importing and converting AVCHD files to the other format like iMovie 09?
Is there any improvements for AVCHD file supports in iMovie 11?

I don't think it does. I picked up a copy this afternoon after the keynote (I like the way that Apple stores have them in stock right away - and at $49 it wasn't really a painful experiment) hoping this would be the case, but it does not appear to be so.
After installing, I tried to import some loose .mts files, but they are greyed out. Some brief exploring turned up nothing to help.
This is really too bad. It would be so nice to be able to save the individual .mts file on my hard drive, and access them when necessary. I'm fine with the intermediate encoding iMovie does before editing, but forcing me to use the silly file structure of my camera's hard drive, or an iMovie archive (basically the same thing) is frustrating.
Allowing the import of naked .mts files would be a huge step forward.
Assuming I'm not wrong about this, what is the best way to work around this? What is the best way to bring loose .mts files into iMovie? (And I hope I'm not hijacking the thread by asking this.)

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.

Acrobat Pro 7 / Words are not separated

Hi guys,
A friend of mine has Acrobat Pro 7 on a Windows Vista OS. She need to select text from a pdf and paste it on a Word document. The strange happens when pasting all the words are not separated by any space they are glued together. Is there any way to correct this? I tried paste special and it is the same.
You can check the PDF i am talking about at
http://www.irb.com/mm/document/training/0/beginners20guide20es_7393.pdf
it is a begginners guide to Rugby trainning by the IRB. I do not know if the PDF has some special configuration that does not let you copy and paste text in a regular way.
Any ideas?
Thanks and cheers,
Sebastian

Basically Michael means that Adobe does not support AA7 for VISTA. It may or may not work. If you ask them a question they will tell you to upgrade and likely hangup. Several folks have been successful with AA7 working on VISTA and periodically they come back with something they found that did not work. A similar result occured for AA4 on XP as I recall the older forums. Typically folks had to ultimately upgrade.
As far as AA7, I will go to my laptop shortly and try to check the same thing I did with AA8 on VISTA and post the result. That way you can see for yourself the result. If it works on my AA7 and not yours, it will likely be the VISTA thing, but not sure.
I just checked AA7 on XP and it copied from the file to WORD fine. All of the fonts are embedded, so that is not an issue. I had use local fonts turned on, but tried it with use local fonts turned off also, with the same results. The results are below with the same section I copied last time (just to the right of the photo on page 2):
Dos siglos después, el Rugby ha
evolucionado hasta convertirse en
uno de los deportes más populares
del mundo, con millones de personas
jugando, observando, y disfrutando
del Juego.
This shows the spaces, so the only conclusion I can reach is that it is a VISTA issue. I don't have any other ideas. Bill

I keep getting the message that my image files are not recognizable because of the codec. They are

I can't save andthen retrieve my filem. I get the messag ethat the files are not in the correct codec~ They are AVI and I don't get why they are rejected.
I have worked with a laptop and a desktop, saving the files to an external hard drive so I can work within both PC systems, but I still am gettting the worng code message.
Help~

AVI is not a format in its own right. It is a container for video clips. Those clips may be one of very many formats. Follow this trouble shooting article and remember to post the GSpot screen capture here.

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

Files are not getting updated in sharepoint 2013 because of office upload center error

Dear Team,
I am getting upload failed/upload error in Office Upload Center.
Scenario: I opened excel(version is 2013) file from sharepoint 2013 application and closed and after updating. Later when I opened the file I got error like "UPLOAD FAILED We are sorry this didn't work. Try saving again later and if that still doesn't
work, click save a copy."
I found the error is because file is getting upload failed / upload error in microsoft office upload center2013.
Please let me know if anyone know the solution for my issues
Thanks in Advance
Girish

Hi Girishkg,
The default IIS limit for the upload file size is 30MB. If the selected files are larger than 30MB, the files are not uploaded.
The limit can be set in web application’s web.config file or in IIS .
There are two detailed articles about setting the limit:
