AVCHD Video in PE7
I just recently purchased a Sony HDR-SR11 Camcorder which produces great HD quality video in the AVCHD format. Having just upgraded to Premiere Elements 7, I was really looking forward to editing my high-def videos but have run in to trouble. The clips import without problem, but do not play back in real-time and make editing difficult. I have a pretty fast Sony Vaio computer with a 2GHz Centrino Duo Processor and 4GB of RAM. Am I doing something wrong? Are there better settings that I could use to help me see the clips render smoothly? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Brian
If you are going to view the final product in standard definition then convert it before editing in PE. The software that came with your camcorder probably has a feature to convert to a standard definition format such as MPEG. Or put the AVCHD clip on the timeline in PE and export the clip as widescreen DV-AVI (a better format than MPEG for PE to digest).
If you want to maintain the high definition then convert to HDV MPEG2, you could do this in PE itself, put the AVCHD clip on the timeline and export as HDV MPEG2 or use NERO if you have it. Then edit the HDV MPEG2.

Skipping Audio Playback of Raw AVCHD Files in PE7
I get constantly skipping/dropping audio when playing back AVCHD clips in PE7. These are pretty long takes imported from a Canon HF10 camera. The video seems to playback OK with no jitter/judder or dropouts.I have tried reducing the clip to a 3 minute length but audio still skips/drops every 3-5 seconds for a second or so. I rendered/exported a short test clip to a .wmv file and a 780p file and the audio playback is just fine on the rendered clip. I'm using a Vista 32 Dell 730 desktop with 4 gigs ram and 2.6 quadcore processor and all editing on internal Sata drives. I had the Pinnacle studio 12 editing package first but moved to PE7 due to freezes and crashes. Anybody got any ideas? Thanks!
For HD editing in PrPro, Adobe also recommends a RAID 0 (or similar) media disc. Both HD Audio & Video need a fast file transfer rate. Many get by without the RAID, but it has helped many others. Just a thought.
Also, if you have fewer than 3 internal HDD's, and some of the ones that you have are doing multiple duty, like OS/Programs, and then Project/Media/Scratch Disks, the stream can definitely be too slow to get both smooth Audio and Video.
How is your I/O sub-system set up? Number of HDD's, sizes, speed and controller type?

My iMovie refuses to recognize, import, or work with AVCHD Video. It also refuses the same video clips even after I have converted them to Mp4. Also, when I delete a video clip already used in a project, then later import the same clip back to my ipad, the software is unable to recognize and find the clip again! Help! How do I get around these issues?
Hi Craig,
I also got the second problem. The storyboard on iMovie trailer has all these missing videos. If I import them on my iPad it doesn't find them.
If you find a solution it would be much appreciated to share it here ... I'll do the same.
Thanks,

Downloading avchd video from Canon XA10 to iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011)
I have a mid 2011 iMac running Mountain Lion. I typically download HD AVCHD video from my Canon XA10 camcorder by inserting an SD card from the camera into the side of the computer. When I click on the SD card, thumbnails of the video footage appear on the iMac and when I click on a thumbnail, the clip opens in Quicktime. Now I can view the clip. This is all fine.
Here's my question: when I look at the Quicktime movie inspector, the following appears:
The original footage is 1920 x 1080 since I shoot at the highest setting on the camera (MXP).
But the "Current Size:" above in the inspector is 1736 x 977.
Does Quicktime degrade the footage? Is there a way to preserve the full 1920 x 1080?
When I import the footage into iMovie (which I do directly from the chip into iMovie) is the quality degraded as well, even though the transfer into iMovie doesn't involve Quicktime (at least I don't think it does).
If, after sharing a clip from iMovie via Quicktime to create a file to upload to Vimeo, I can view it in Quicktime and the same thing happens:
The inspector says "Current Size: 1736x 977."
Any advice? Am I doing something wrong and as a result losing resolution?
Thank you,

PS CS6 has no sound with AVCHD videos from Sony Cybershot
System Specs:
PS CS6, fully updated
win7/64 fully patched
16gb ram, 11+ GB free
ssd scratch drive, 40gb free
camera: Sony cybershot dsc-hx30v
files: *.MTS
CPU: intel quad core sandy bridge 2600k, 3.4Ghz
GPU: AMD 6950 2gb
The videos play fine in VLC 2.0.1, windows media player, GSpot 2.70a (in thumbnail window). An ancient Nero showtime even sort of plays the video (choppy and partially mangled), but the audio is fine. VLC and WMP play smoothly at full screen, 2560x1600.
In PS, there is no audio. Both microphone icons have sound waves emanating and I have tried all 4 combinations of mute and play.
I can edit and save them to h.264, high quality, 1920x1080, 59.94 fps, progressive *.mp4 file. The video plays on the other players, but again there is no sound.
GSpot shows LAV splitter -> ffdshow addio decoder -> ac3filter -> default directSound device (see details below)
When playing in PS, the video is choppy. It will play for ~1/2 second and then stutter.
Searching for a suitable group with key words (photoshop cs6 avchd video no sound)
yields 505 groups. Looks like any group to have ever had cs6 in a thread. Hmmm.
It can't be a codec problem if every other video product I have plays the files. It is certainly not a hardware limitation. It looks like a PS bug.

It is perfectly legal to decode Dolby to simple stereo with the licensed codec included with Windows 7. There may be some restriction on writing AC-3 content in 5.1 format. If Adobe wanted to, it could read from the licensed, installed codec and write the edited files in any of the audio formats it does support.
I do not believe it is a can't; it's a won't.
"... only a few digital cameras on the market with that encoder."
There are dozens of digital cameras and camcorders from Canon, Hitachi, JVC, Leica, Panasonic and Sony which use AVCHD and many more are on the way.
Almost every medium and top-tier video editor also supports AVCHD/MTS format including Avid, Premier, Final Cut, AVS, Blender, VideoStudio, PowerDirector, Windoz Movie Maker, Nero, Pinnacle, Vegas and Openshot.
Adobe advertises on http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/features.html:
Intuitive video creation
Bring Photoshop editing power to your video footage. Easily enhance any clip using the full range of familiar Photoshop tools, and then create movies using an intuitive set of video tools.
Adobe needs to add a bit of fine print here:
Easily enhance any clip [1]
[1] Disclaimer: Adobe has made a strategic decision to withhold Photoshop support for Dolby sound common on many newer and higher fidelity cameras in order to not cannibalize sales of Premier Pro. If you have or plan to buy a video device from Canon, Hitachi, JVC, Leica, Panasonic or Sony, you may not be able to edit or even view movies with audio unless you also install Premier Pro ($799) or use a third party tool to perform audio brain surgery on your movie to rip your audio and hack it back into Photoshop in a non-Dolby form.
I feel that I was mislead by Adobe. And Adobe is still advertising this "Any Clip" claim even though the Dolby "defect" was reported in March in Beta testing. Please don't advertise what you don't support.
Disappointed,

Hope you can help. I imported AVCHD video into final cut express 4, Ive used the broadcast safe filter, and others in the final cut color correction suite. but to no avail. When I export using quick time, and burn the DVD in best performance, the quality of the video is much less on my HD TV than on my monitor during construction.
Im looking for some insight here.
My DVD player is pretty cheap, but movies I buy are crisp and clean, my video looks blotchy and cheap.
I tried using iMovie and got the same results
JeffHi Jeffrey. You're probably going to get a lot of comments as to the fact that DVD is not HD quality. It's resolution quality is much lower than actual HD and there's a lot of compression going from HD footage to standard definition of DVD. You might experiment with BluRay if you can get a BluRay burner to work with your mac or burn a BluRay project using Toast on your mac. You can search the forums for more informaiton.
I've been experiencing some of what you're describing for years. I also agree that the overall video quality going from HD to iDVD is just not as good as it's expected to be. The commercial DVDs use complex compression techniques and of course are shot with perfect lighting and equipments,
Make sure you're exporting your FCE project (not self-contained). In iDVD use professional quality unless it's a really long video. Check the iDVD forums for more informaiton about that. Good luck and I wouldn't expect any improvement from iMovie. iMovie is more targetted towards online viewing rather than DVD... -
I have a JVC HD camcorder that creates videos in AVCHD format that ipad cannot play. Which is the best tool to convert these avchd videos to the format ipad can play?
Airplay is a wireless streaming protocol. It allows content to be pushed from the iPad through the Apple TV onto your connected HDTV.
If she wants to see the iPad displayed on the big screen and/or play games that involves mirroring. As long as it's an iPad 2 (or later) then you will be fine. More info on both has been referened below

Most likely because your computer is not powerful enough to effectively edit that codec

Poor Rendered Video Quality PE7
Hi All,
I've been running the trial of PE7 for a few weeks comparing against my existing copy of Pinnacle 10 and trial of Power Director. I love the interface and edit abilities, however when I generate DVD files and view them the result from PE7 is of a much lower quality than from Pinnacle or Power Director.
I'm using the default quality settings in each of the programs and viewing all with the same DVD viewing software (AVS Player). The originating AVI that was edited was captured using Pinnacle, but I imported it into PE7 and rendered a PE7 DV AVI for editing to make sure I was working with PE defaults. The picture seems to be more grainy and less vibrant in color with PE7. Of course having the big black "PE7 Trial" directly across the middle of the screen doesn't help with comparison (what possessed them to put the watermark directly across the focal point of the viewfinder?), but I'm pretty certain the PE7 files are not as good.
Is there some setting that I'm missing that would make the video from PE7 that much worse than the other two products? I can't believe that the Adobe product would be that much worse without someting I'm doing wrong or missing.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
DaleDale,
The test of each program would be to author a DVD (use RW, so you don't spend a bunch of $ on test DVD's) and then watch that through a DVD software player on the computer, or on a set-top player to TV.
As for the display in the programs, there are a couple of things to look at. In PE, if your DV AVI Clip shows a green line, above the Timeline, it does not require Rendering. If it's red, just hit Enter, to Render it. If you Rt-click on the Display Monitor, you can choose Fit, or one of several resolutions - choose 100% and see if your display improves. Fit is basically a "draft preview," sized to fill the Display Monitor, where 100% should show the actual detail.
It's been a long time, and several versions ago, since I last used Pinnacle, but I was less than impressed by its "monitor" back then. However, I am going both from memory and also this was on a previous laptop. Though it also had a 17" monitor, the rez was way down (totally different GPU), than what I am now using.
I have Power Director on my workstation (dual 21" CRT Hitachi 915's), and I see no difference between it's display, and that in P-Pro2, when I switch it to 100%. They both look the same to me. Do not have PE on the workstation, and do not have Power Director on the laptop, so I cannot compare those in an A-B situation.
Going back a couple of versions of P-Pro, Adobe went from DirectShow display to a common display engine for all of their programs. It has been my experience, when setup to 100%, that their displays are equal to, or better than, any program using DirectShow. This is for footage that does not need to be Rendered, or that has been Rendered, and is for 100%, and not Fit. I do not know if Pinnacel and Cyberlink still use DirectShow.
One last item to consider is the display settings on your monitor. Because Adobe does not use DirectShow any more, you could have differences there. I'd spend just a bit of time with the settings on your monitor, both in the Windows' Display, and in your GPU's utilities, to see if you can "calibrate" your monitor for best viewing of the Adobe display engine. In my nVidia Quadro 4500FX control panel, I have one setting for "Print Work," and one for "Video," and my needs fluctuate between the two. I also use Adobe Photoshop's Adobe Gamma utility to set things up for my print work. It is no longer included in the latest CS3-CS4 Photoshop.

PSE13: no sound when playing AVCHD videos
In the PSE 13 Organizer I'm not getting any sound when playing AVCHD files:
These files play just fine in PSE12
These files play just fine in Premiere Elements 13 and 12
The files are from various cameras (Sony RX100M3, Sony and Panasonic camcorders)
Other video formats work fine (e.g., .wmv, .mov files from an iPhone, .avi etc)
Any ideas? A quick search indicates this problem has occurred occasionally over the last several years across various versions of PSE.
ThanksHi Anewsha
I use .mts.
To clarify : The problem occurs in the organizer part, where sound
disappears after palying 30 seconds. I run a fairly powerful computer, Core
i7, 16 G Memory with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750

No audio with my avchd videos - PSE8
I'm using PSE 8 and within the Organizer, I can view my avchd videos (shot with a sony hd video camera), however I am not able to hear the audio. If I view the video in another browser (ie., sony's picture motion browser), the sound is heard from the videos. I'm running vista on a dell xps 420, and have updated my drivers. Have also searched this site, but I don't see other mentions of this same problem. Any suggestions?
Thanks,It's a codec issue. You need to have dolby decoders on your machine to make it working. Premiere Elements provide this decoder to Photoshop Elements.
What happens when you run these files in some other player? -
No sound in AVCHD-Video with PS Elements 9
Hello,
since a few weeks, i am working with Photoshop Elements 9. It was announced, that PSE kann play also AVCHD-Videos. Now, i loaded from my Panasonic DMC-TZ 10 a short AVCHD-Video to the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 9 and played this video, but there was no sound. What ist the problem, doesn´t play PSE 9 the sound from a AVCHD-Video? Can someone help me?
Thanks.
Helmut ZieglerInteresting Steve. I had not heard of MJPEG Audio. Now, I think of the regular MJPEG CODEC's for Video, but wonder if either the Morgan, or the MainConcept will also allow for MJPEG Audio editing. If so, then this ARTICLE might be useful.
On a good day, one learns something new before 8:00AM!

Will PSE12 convert my AVCHD videos and burn to Bluray? [was:Question]
Will Adobe Premier Element 12 videoprocessing software convert my AVCHD videos to the proper video format (when I "upload" or "capture" then to my computer) and then allow me to burn to blurays? In other words, will this software do it all (I have bluray burner installed)?

From what I have read of your camera, it should be recording at frame rates of 60i, PF30, 60p for video with AVCHD video compression and a .mp4 file extension. If these files are on your computer hard drive, then I would start out with an import from the hard drive save location to Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace Project Assets via the program's Add Media/Files and Folders.
The first video drag to the should direct the program to set up automatically the project settings (Sometimes it does, sometimes it does not). For the does not times, then you will need to set the project preset manually.
We can go into greater details once you get started.
Your camera settings and what they are telling you
60i (60 fields per second aka 29.97/30 interlaced frames per second)
1920 x 1080 @ 29.97/30 interlaced frames per second
PF30
that is Canon's
1920 x 1080 @ 30 progressive frames per second
60p
1920 x 1080 @ 60 progressive frames per second
The project preset that the project or you set should match the properties of your source media.
The project should be able to handle AVCHD.mts.
When you are ready for the burn to
Publish+Share
Disc
Blu-ray
Use the 1920 x 1080 settings rather than 1440 x 1080 HD anamorphic 16:9
This is Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc (not datadisc).
We can get into the finer details of all this once you have the tryout and after you explore the program with mini test runs. At any time, please do not hesitate to ask questions or to ask for clarification on anything written.
Thanks.

Add On...With all my questions, I forgot to ask..does your computer have a slot for a memory card? -
I am trying to edit avchd video clips but when I drop it to the timeline, it studders. The audio plays fine, but the video does not. I am running CS4 version 4.1.0. The settings I recorded in was PH 1080/30p on the Panasonic AG-HMC150P camera. The project settings i am using is the AVCHD present for 1080i30 (60i) non-anomorphic. I tried editing in 1080p30 but when I dropped it on the timeline it said it needed to be rendered where as the 1080i30 didn't. So my problem is that I can't edit but it studders so bad. Any one know how to fix this? Thank you.
Also my video card is the ATI Raden 4650.My first thought is the same as Harm's, that your computer just can't handle the load.
Having said that, I recommend switching back to the proper preset. Use the Interpret Footage command to make sure Premiere properly recognizes the media for what it is, changing those specs it gets wrong. -
I am using Final Cut Express and are editing avchd video. When I export this video at Quicktime Compressor, it comes out "not running Smooth". It is running choppyly. It is also choppyly when I burn it on a DVD.
Please give us more information.
Have you rendered everything in your sequence (timeline)?
*Sequence > Render All > Both* and
*Sequence > Render Only > Mixdown*
Does the video play correctly in the *FCE Canvas?*
If you plan to burn a DVD, you must export to *QuickTime Movie,* not to Quicktime Conversion.
What camcorder (make & model) did you use when you shot the video?
What *FCE Easy Setup* did you use when you used Log & Transfer to import your video from the camcorder to FCE?
What version of FCE and QuickTime do you have on your iMac? What iMac model do you have? How much free space is on your system HD? Are you using an external hard drive and if so is it connected to your iMac via USB or FireWire? Are you running any other programs the same time you are exporting from FCE?
Maybe you are looking for
