Can't import .mts file

Hello
I just got a Sony HDR-CX700 and I'm trying to import the .mts files using Adobe Premier Pro CS5. When I click Import and browse to the camera drive -> folder-> .mts file, it shows the file but when I click on the file, nothing happens.

I use Canon Vixia MTS files, and I copy the folder/files from the camera to my video data drive, and then import into PPro from the hard drive

Luis,
Just to clarify one point…in order for Streamclip to convert the MTS I believe a plug-in like the AVCCAM QuickTime importer from Panasonic needs to be installed. (Credit David McClain over at the FCS boards for that info.)

Help needed. Can I import MTS files directly into FCE?

I am currently using iMovie, but iMovie doesn't recognise the .MTS files that my Panasonic AG-HMC41E produces.
I was thinking of upgrading to Final Cut Express, but I don't know if that will solve the problem or not.
Can anybody confirm that FCE will enable me to directly import .MTS files?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

As far as I have heard, transcoding to Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) makes a file that scarcely looks different from the original MTS; I should remind you that if you were able to ingest the MTS files directly into iMovie or Final Cut Express, they will do the same thing - transcode to Apple Intermediate Codec; they're just doing it within the interface of a capturing process. When they are ready for editing, they are now AIC. An app like Streamclip or ClipWrap is just helping you get this done outside of FCE or iMovie.
ClipWrap 2 can rewrap your mts file as a MOV and leave it untouched - quality is the same. However, FCE won't edit that without having to render a lot. It's best to transcode it to AIC.
There is a higher quality codec than AIC, called ProRes, but only Final Cut Pro can edit this.

I can't import MTS files in premier cc2014

Premiere Pro CC 2014 doesn't import .MTS files? Says unsupported compression type

Move folder to another place on the drive and rename.
See if that will help.

Can't Import .MTS Files

So, I have Premiere Pro CS5 installed in my school’s computer lab, which is full of iMacs (they’re the previous models that were out before the late 2012 models), and can’t seem to upload any .MTS files into Premiere. (I’m importing them from a Canon HF R400.) My iMac at home can do it just fine and is running the same version, but for one reason or another none of the school computers can open them. Everything else seems to work just fine inside of Premiere besides that, which is why I’m so confused.
I’ve read the previous posts and tried everything, but to no avail. What can / do I need to do in order to fix this? Do I just have to reinstall Premiere on all of the computers again or is there something a little less annoying I can do? Thanks!

Do the school's computers have the latest version of QuickTime installed?
Good luck,
Hunt

Can I import MTS files into Final Cut Express?

It seems like FCE only reads MOV and MP4 files, and sometimes it doesn't even read those for me. Is there no easy way to import and edit MTS video files?

If the source files are HD, then use Clipwrap:

and convert the source files to Apple Intermediate Codec.

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.

How can i open .mts files in premiere cs4?

Hi all,
I am using premiere cs4.
when i import .mts file in cs4 it says file format is not supported.
could any one please tell me how can i open .mts file in premiere cs4.
Thanks
Murali.

What kind of audio did the camera record? For example, the Sony NX5U can be set to record linear PCM audio, which will not import into CS4. If the same camera is set to record AC3 audio, then the clips should import and play as expected. This thread may help:

Trying to import mts files from my cannon hd video camera

trying to import mts files into my final cut pro trial version and it does not recognize this file type. any help would be appreciated. I am trying to decide whether to continue using adobe premier for editing or consider purchasing final cut pro
I am on a 13 inch mac book pro, my first apple product, just got it a week ago and trying to get used to it
Thanks , Tom

Got it now.Your hint about importing from the top level of the file system makes sense, and yes I was not importing correctly from the camera. I was triying to import manaully by searching for the sream file and selecting the mts files on there. when I tryed imporing from the inernal memory of the camera and not from the sd card it worked just fine. Thanks
If I am using files on the sd card can I import them in some way ?

How to convert and import MTS files from my Sony NEX 10e into iMovie for editing?

Hi, dear all,
I have hard time to bring in my footage shoot using Sony NEX 10e camcorder into iMovie 11 for editing. Is there anyway I can convert these MTS files foe editing in IMovie 11?
Thanks in advance!!
Kevin

Some frame rates and resolution combos will not import into iMovie directly. That's true. For instance, 1920x1080 @ 60 progressive frames per second (meaning not interlaced), that is not compatible with iMovie and you might need to convert it using a program like ClipWrap. Also if you have just the 'bare' .mts files, iMovie will not be able to import those either. iMovie expects to find all the folders and auxiliiary files recorded onto the memory card when you shoot AVCHD video. It needs all those extra pieces to navigate to the video clips and subsequently convert them from .mts to Apple Intermediate Codec. So in the case where you have a 'bare' .mts file use Voltaic HD to do the conversion.

Import .MTS files from Panasonic HDC SD700 ( AVCHD )

Does anyone know how to import .MTS files with FCP7?
I have already tried it via the log and transfer way, that does not work for our .MTS files, even when I do it the same way described on this website for importing AVCHD footage from SDHC cards via the log and transfer.
Is there maybe a codec missing? Adobe Premiere can use the .MTS files natively.
Thanks,
Petra

The SDHC card gives 3 folders: MISC, PRIVATE and DCIM when I keep the original order and don't change anything in the folder it says when I use log and transfer-> adding files ->
"MISC" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
All the properties shown after adding the files are 00:00:00:00 and I cannot play or preview the files in the log and transfer screen

Importing .mts files not nested in original camera folder structure

The short version:
Is there any way to import .mts files already copied to a hard drive, without keeping the camera's folder structure intact, into Premiere Pro CS5.5?
The long version:
I recently purchased an iMac. For years I edited video on Windows using Sony Vegas and Vegas Home Studio. My camera, the Panasonic Lumix TS2, shoots AVCHD video. Vegas has no problem importing and editing AVCHD .mts files from a camera or a hard drive so it wasn't until I attempted to edit some video in Premiere Pro, recieved the "unsupported compressions type" error message and did some searching that I realized folder structure is so critial to working with AVCHD. From what I can tell, the files have to be in the PRIVATE>AVCHD>BDMV>STREAM>xxxxxxx.mts confirguration to be imported via the media browser.
Here is my situation, I have hundreds of .mts files in separate folders, bundled together with photos from the same day or event. I'm on an iMac i7, using an activated version of Premiere Pro CS5.5 from the Master Collection. Is there any way I can import and edit these files natively? And in the future, is there any way around transferring the entire folder structure everytime I want to copy the video files to my hard drive? I use Bridge to import photos and it will just pull the video files off the card and plop them in the same folder. Having to transfer the videos separately seems like a silly work around in our modern age. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Yo! I used to have this problem for about 1 year!! And fixed it about half a year ago and I have never been as happy when I fixed it!
Be sure that your sequence settings are set to the right settings: When you create a new sequence you should be promped with a window asking what settings you want. Open the "AVCHD" folder and there should be 3 folders; 1080p, 1080i, 720p. Pick the one that you filmed at, I film at 1080p, so I open that folder and then you pick the right setting to what you filmed your scene. I film at 24 fps so i pick AVCHD 1080p24 (non-anamorphic). Now there should be a new sequence with the right settings (don't use the same settings as I do unless you have filmed at the same frame rate and that it was filmed at 1080p or 1080i, there is a big difference between "p" and "i"). If you go in to the window in the bottom left corner there should be a tab on that box that says "Media Browser". Click it and the directory to your computer should be shown. If you have your SD card connected there should be something called SD card (or if you have renamed it then it is obvious what you should select). After selecting it there should be a folder called AVCHD and you open it up. This is where it gets tricky... because I don't know what camera you use and don't have any experience with your camera then you will have to go through all the folders that are within the AVCHD folder. They are not so many but in the folder where all the clips are hidden they should be called 00626.mts for example. Then you just select the clips you want to import and import them. This process can also be done by opening Finder (mac) or on PC just open up the same way and select the clips you want and drag them i to your project window
Then if you drag a clip in to the sequence, this is were you see if you did all the steps right (with the sequence settings) then the light above the clip should be yellow, meaning that the playback engine recognizes the format and can play it back without any compression Therefor giving you much better quality videos!
Hope this helps, I know the pain you are going through, don't want it to happen to anyone else

>No, you are not right.
Going to question the biggest contributor to this forum? (Yes, my ego is talking). OK then...
>Install the QT-Plugin, restart your Mac and you will be able to import and use .mts files in FCP 7.
Sure...yes, that makes it POSSIBLE to read the files natively in FCP...if they come from a Panasonic camera. BUT...just try working with those files. Right away the system won't be nearly as responsive as it would if they were ProRes. First...there are no sequence settings for that format...so you'll have to use ProRes and have a green render bar. BUT, that's no big deal. The big deal is trying to work with the AVCHD format, which is VERY processor intensive...inside an application that doesn't like to work with much outside of the FCP editing codecs.
Is it possible? Sure? Will it work well...will you be as zippy and error free as if you converted to ProRes? Not by a long shot. OH, but don't just take my word for it. Go ahead...try it and see. No skin off my nose...no waste of my time. See how well this works.
I'm just here to relate real world working solutions to issues. And yes, I did try that plugin, and boy, was editing a pain.

Import MTS files and burn AVCHD files to DVD on PRE13

Hi am used to PRE 10 and want to know if on PRE 13 I can import MTS files into it, and burn AVCHD just as I am used to. The spec does not mention MTS files and implies burning to Blu ray.

I mean burning to DVD disc
