Canon XA25 AVCHD footage in Premiere Pro CC ?

I shot some footage in AVCHD with the Canon XA25 and I would like to edit it in Premiere Pro CC. In the Media Browser though, there's no thumbnail and the clip is just called "private" - In FCP7 I can just open the log and transfer and easily convert to ProRES. Is there a way to easily deal with clips from this camera in Premiere? Thanks!

Hi TheWiseman,
Thanks for reply,
On the SD card is one file (the single video clip I shot) named "private" and that's it. I was looking at the clip in Premiere while still on the SD card, but you are saying to copy it to my HD first? Premiere stil won't know what to do with it though, right? Thanks.
The private file is actually folder and if you see in the MAC 10.8.5 as quicktime file.
Please right click on the Private and click show package content and you will see all the other folder inside that.
After renaming private folder to Private1 and you will also see all the contents.
Please reply if this works.
Thanks,
Sandeep

  • Importing HD (AVCHD) Footage into Premiere Pro CS3 (windows)

    Hi guy's the question is pretty much in the title.
    Is it possible to import HD (AVCHD) footage into Premiere (with or without aditional software)?
    Thanks.

    What I can't figure out is why such a major format does not have native support in in Premiere CS3.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVCHD
    This is a format that has been adopted by Sony and Panasonic and is compatible with most blue-ray players and even the Play Station 3. So why would so many of the small software companies, in competition with Adobe, have recognized the importance of the format and come up with solutions to read and edit the format when Adobe has not?
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb403297&sliceId=2
    I've been coming back to Adobe's web site for months hoping to find they are working on a solution and I have found nothing. I have been a huge fan of Adobe software for years and have pumped many a pay check in keeping my Adobe software current, the most recent being the purchase of the CS3 Master Suite. I'm not trying to bash the company but Adobe if your listening I really want to know want to know what the real story is. This goes beyond the "we are just busy and will get to it when can" statements I have been seeing on the adobe sites. It looks to me as though some other deal has been made and Adobe does not want to talk about why they are not incorporating the AVCHD format into Premiere CS3.

  • Canon 7D grainy footage in Premiere Pro CS6

    Hi there,
    I recently updated to CS6, I have some footage filmed on Canon 7D in full HD. I import into Premiere Pro 720p sequence and the untreated footage looks extremely grainy at full resolution playback. The same footage looks absolutely fine in Windows Media Player. Can you tell what wrongs?
    Thanks,

  • Editing Canon 600D DSLR footage in Premiere Pro CS4

    I am considering purchasing the new Canon 600D DSLR camera to capture HD video files. I understand that this camera captures H.264 video files but am getting very confused as to whether or not CS4 can edit this file type.
    Some websites say I need to get CS5 and CS4 can't handle these files while others say CS4 will work just fine (and yet others say I need to transcode the files into a new file format for CS4 to use!).
    I'm more than a little confused... please can someone from here give me some help? Is there anyone using a DSLR with CS4?If so please let me know how...
    Thanks for reading :-)

    I believe CS4 has trouble handling H.264 wrapped in a mov, so its not so much the camera itself.
    You could consider getting Cineform Neoscene to convert the files and edit with Cineform avi's.

  • Canon 300 footage crashing Premiere PRO 6 on Mac PRO

    As stated above... C300 footage crashes Premiere Pro when using on my Mac Pro. It happens when you scrub through the footage.  I have done plenty of searches and everyone with a Mac Pro seems to be having the same problem. The footage also has glitches in the frames when it plays and renders.  The only solution I have found is to transcode the footage to something else, which kind of defeats the purpose of using Premiere Pro 6 in the first place.  I know this is a problem specific to the Mac Pro because my Macbook Pro does not have this issue when dealing with C300 footage.  Does anyone know of any actual solution to this other than transcoding all the footage?

    Hello,
    Because you've said you already "re-downloading":
    1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
    2, Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
    3. Did you already try "uninstalling and re-installing"?
    Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
    Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
    I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.

  • How Do you import C100 footage into Premiere Pro CC

    I just tried importing  Canon C100 footage into Premiere Pro CC, but get no sound. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and I pray I don't have to convert this footage before bringing it in. Is there a workflow anyone can recommend? Do I have to convert the footage first? Thanks, Lucian

    Lucian,
    PrPro should work natively with the Canon C100 footage ... it works with almost everything out there. And with the C100 shooting MP-4, AVCHD, & H.264, those are all handled easily by PrPro.
    My question ... I would surmise (from what little info you include) you are shooting AVCHD? The reason I say this is that format splits audio & video into different files ... so it's a bit trickier to "import" than others that have the a & v in one file. Make sure you copied the whole top-leveL FOLDER and all sub-folders (not just the footage or contents of a folder) from the cam/card into the computer for AVCHD ... and then when you import into a project via the media browser your audio & video should be all connected by PrPro.
    There have been numerous threads here where AVCHD users have "lost" their audio, only to find they'd simply left it behind by NOT copying all the folders & subfolders their camera had created.

  • Trouble importing AVCHD files to Premiere Pro CC

    I'm Trying to import AVCHD files into Premiere Pro CC, once I import the files using Media Browser. I get a warning for "file format not supported",
    I hit OK, then it imports the video clips in .MTS file format. Then when I go in and try to drag any of the thumbnails into my timeline I get the following pop-up box:
    "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down"
    then the program quits. I'm using Premiere Pro CC, the AVCHD files are recorded on a Sony FS700. Can anyone help please?

  • Importing DVC PRO 50 footage into Premiere Pro

    I recently imported some DVC PRO 50 footage into Premiere Pro.  I used a rented DVC PRO 50 deck via firewire 400.  The footage came in at 480 x 720.  Is this the actual resolution of that format or is it the default setting in the Premiere Pro import module?  A few months ago, I imported some HD footage from a tape format using the videographer's camera via Firewire.  It also came in at 720 even though it was supposed to be 1080 footage.  Is there a way to set a target resolution in the PP import module before importing?  Or does it bring in whatever resolution the source has?

    DVCPRO50 is standard definition footage at 50Mbps. So 720x480 is correct.

  • Porblems importing Canon C300 footage into Premiere Pro CC 2014: only import 30 seconds

    Hi! I'm having problems importing Canon C300 footage into Adobe Premiere Pro 2014. I'm taking the files directly from the media browser to I can only import the first 30 seconds of each clip.
    Why can be that? Do I need a specific plugin?
    Thaks for your help

    Since you did not perform the copy process yourself, my thinking is that maybe something went wrong when it was done.  Far too many people don't understand or follow the process that works.
    My recommendation would be to get your hands on the cards and do it again, making sure to use only Explorer or Finder for the task.

  • Can you burn an AVCHD DVD using Premiere Pro 4.1?

    Alright I've been hunting the forums and net for a few hours on this one question.
    I import my AVCHD video files using Sony Picture Motion Browser for the HDR SR-12 using the full HD setting (1920x1080i) I then pull these into Premiere 4.2.1 and have created an edit, my question is, it possible to output to an AVCHD DVD i.e. a standard DVD-R with the AVCHD edit on it from Premiere/Encore?
    It's easy to burn clips straight to AVCHD DVD using Sony PMB, but not an edited file.
    I realize there are no menus possible if you do it this way, but I have an AVCHD capable DVD deck and an HD Capable screen and would really like to see how this looks. Anybody know any tricks or workarounds for this? It seems that this would be sadly lacking if it was not possible or simply an effort to force one to adapt the entire workflow to Blu-Ray for HD content which I am not prepared to do.
    I am assuming that if you could export the same file type that came in (i.e. AVCHD .mts files) that you could then have Sony PMB burn it to AVCHD DVD but I haven't figured out how to export it as such as there is only Blu-Ray output options.
    Any help, tips or tricks would be appreciated!!!!
    Regards,
    DSW

    Answering myself here for the benefit of anyone else trying to solve this problem.
    I have been pulling my hair out trying to solve this problem for the last 48 hours of utilizing AVCHD footage at AVCHD quality. I finally did find somewhat of a work around, but it requires Adobe PP CS4.2.
    There is a plug-in here:
    http://www.mainconcept.com/site/prosumer-products-4/mpeg-pro-hd-7850/features-7861.html
    Which will actually output your edit as an AVCHD file. You can then burn this straight to an AVCHD using Nero 9 and keep the highquality level of your clips and not need Blu-Ray. The DVD player will need to be AVCHD capable, but I just bought one of those for $40 as compared to the $200+ of most Blu-Ray players.
    Or if you want to be really sneaky, you can transfer it back onto your camera and play it straight to your TV using the HDMI cable.
    Hope that helps anyone stuck with the same problem.

  • I cannot figure out how to edit my h.264 footage in Premiere Pro. Please help.

    I have been trying to import AVI video into Premiere pro CS5. I have a new Dell Laptop with Windows 7. Every time I try to import the video into Premiere it only shows up as audio files. However, Windows Media Player plays the files just fine. I've tryed converting the files with Media Encoder but that sees the files as only audio files as well. I've used the G Spot program and it tells me that the Codec is the H264 codec and that the name is H.264/MPEG-4 AVC. It also tells me that the codec is already installed on my computer.
    I've had problems trying to edit h.264 stuff for longer than I'd care to admit and I just want to figure it out once and for all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Read the 2nd post for NEW ITEM pointer http://forums.adobe.com/thread/770072?tstart=0 and follow the instructions, to let PPro analyze the file for you
    This is not going to help in the OP's circumstance; if the video doesn't play in Premiere, it's not going to magically start playing once dropped on the New Item button. That sets up a sequence with parameters that match the footage (is that what you mean by letting "PPro analyze the file?"), but Premiere is pretty black-or-white when it comes to format/codec support--it plays everywhere or it doesn't play at all.
    If that were not true, DV footage would have to be edited only in a DV sequence, and AVCHD only in an AVCHD sequence. Of couse, that's not the case--sequences are format-agnostic.

  • Which codec should I use to edit HD footage in Premiere Pro?

    I am shooting with a Sony NXCAM which gives me AVCHD .MTS files. I am an old FCP user switching to Premiere Pro. I used to transcode the footage to Apple Pro Res 422 and most of my stock footage is now in this codec. I know Premiere Pro accepts all codecs but I need to offline my footage using the Project Manager. Can you tell me which is the best codec in Premiere pro to edit and transcode footage to now? The only one I can see that kind of matches is AVC INTRA - I 100.
    Thanks for any suggestions,
    Adam

    Edit in the codec you shot in ( source file) is good practice
    Drag a clip onto the NEW ITEM ICON (bottom of Project Window) and  PPRO will match up a sequence.
    Good starting point.

  • AVCHD? Can Premiere Pro handle the longer clips?

    I'm thinking of purchasing the Sony NX5E but have been hearing terrible things about NLE system not being able to handle the AVCHD codec, thus playback being really choppy.
    Is this still the case or have adobe addressed the issue.
    Think im gonnna put the order for the NX5 on hold for a bit!!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey Harm,
    It was this forum that brought this to my attention. Some of the MVP's and staff have commetted by saying adobe premiere does have known issues with 'Spanned' clips.
    I do have a Mac Pro, Quad 2.6 with 16gig RAM, so would I be ok?
    Greg Baber,Nov 11, 2012 5:24 PM   in reply to MickeyfilmReport
    The known issue with AVCHD is playing back spanned clips - those that are over a certain length so the camera splits them into separate files.  This is not the same thing as saying that Premiere just plays back slow.  For a performance issue, don't assume that it is the bug - look into other possibilities. Also, if you are having a hard time working in AVCHD footage, for whatever reason, a step that can help is to transcode your footage.  Prelude does a good job, and the problem footage that I've worked with was transcoded without issue.  Go into a good intermediary codec, like DNxHD for Mac, and it that could resolve your issue.
    Just sounds like quite an issue?
    Thanks,

  • Flicker footage in Premiere Pro CC 2014.2. Tested on different computers. When waiting for fixes this bug?

    Flicker appears solely the fault of Premiere Pro CC 2014.2. Tested on different computers. Used as nVidia Quadro and GeForce GTX770. Drivers were different. Everywhere equally evident flicker. Incidentally, it defies logic and may occur at different film pieces. If re-render that flicker may occur on another spot in the video.
    It can occur even in the parts without filters !!! But no all time.

    Hi Aleksey,
    Flicker appears solely the fault of Premiere Pro CC 2014.2. Tested on different computers. Used as nVidia Quadro and GeForce GTX770. Drivers were different.
    Have you tried with the Mercury Playback Engine set to "Software Only?" More info please: FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
    Everywhere equally evident flicker. Incidentally, it defies logic and may occur at different film pieces. If re-render that flicker may occur on another spot in the video.
    Is this a brand new project or one you updated from an earlier version? What kind of footage are you exporting? Which preset are you using?
    When waiting for fixes this bug?
    If I can repeat the case here with the same hardware, GPU, and drivers, that would be easier to fix the bug. Currently, I cannot recreate the bug.  If you or anyone else can provide me with steps to recreate the bug, that would help immensely. It sounds like this will be the difficult thing.
