CC 2014 won't import Panasonic AF100 *.mts (avchd)

Premiere Pro CC 2014 won't import Panasonic AF100 *.mts (avchd) files (wrong compression type). Previous version of CC has NO problem importing them WHATSOEVER. Paid CC Windows 7 x64. What's the deal? Thank goodness I didn't delete the previous version!!! Tried out of Explorer on Windows 7 AND from media browser from within CC 2014 - either way it won't import!

One of the things that I noticed is an error logged in the Status column in the Project window. The error message is not very specific, but it says "Error at Importer" when clips are offline.
Possibly a related error report in forums here:
Re: "The importer reported a generic error"
From this post (quoted) three things that seem to work:
1. Move the files up one folder level, and relink. I've had weird success occasionally with this. Screws up my organization, however.
2. Change the file name and relink. On a whim, I just changed the name of my file from "MonitorCam-Pt3_ProRes.mov" to "MonitorCam-Pt3-ProRes.mov"...essentially replacing the underscore with a dash. BOOM, clicked in. Why? Only the programming wizards will know.
3. Open files in AE, and bringing them into Premiere that way.
So, it seems clear that this is an "Importer" error or related to the importer. I am not clear about what the Premiere Importer is - whether it is a component of Premiere, a separate process, or what. And, I'm really unclear about why the importer is needed to work with files that have already been successfully imported, and are now reported as offline.
For me, "use the previous version" is not an option (5-7 workstations, varied platforms and cameras, specfic production workflow built around features only available in CC2014), and what I really need is to get technical information, support, and solutions from Adobe to resolve problems with their applications, when users bring them to their attention.
I am a professional user in a top-ten DMA market and I need these "professional" tools to be given professional level support.

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 Does Not Import Panasonic GH4 Spanned Files as a Single Clip

    Premier Pro CC 2014 does not import Panasonic GH4 spanned files as a single clip. I have made a short video that shows the problem with the GH4 footage and it show how the Canon XA-10 footage imports correctly.
    Is this a known problem? Am I doing something wrong? It makes the Master Clip Effects in Premier Pro useless because every spanning fragment is turned into a master clip.

    Jim,
    I've looked up all sorts of MP4/MOV comparisons on the web ... most conclude that mov is perhaps a bit "safer" on an Apple OS and mp4 "safer" on a PC and non-Apple "devices", but generally list the contents of the two as being nearly indistinguishable. I do realize the Qt has had ... issues ... within the Adobe programs, especially on PC's.
    You have any other good info? Always looking to learn from the more experienced ...

  • New Camera RAW in Photoshop CC 2014 won't open multiple Panasonic RAW (.rw2) at the same time from Windows Explorer.

    New Camera RAW in Photoshop CC 2014 won't open multiple Panasonic RAW (.rw2) at the same time from Windows Explorer.  If I select 2 raw files and click "Open" Camera RAW will only open 1 raw, then when I click "Done" it will close and open the second, sequentially.  Previous Photoshop CC and RAW worked fine, it would open mulitple RAW at the same time.  How do I fix this?

    If it worked for you that way previously there isn't much to comment about. I just tried opening multiple images from Windows Explorer with Photoshop CS6 and Camera Raw 8.6, and the first image would open and when I clicked cancel then the second image would open. But if I wanted multiple images opened in Camera Raw to work on them simultaneously it was necessary for me to open them from Bridge. I just did it as an experiment because I normally use Lightroom. Anyway, IF it was a feature at one time to work as you described, it doesn't seem to be that way now.

  • Images won't import from Lightroom. (I have Creative Cloud 1.7.1.418/Photoshop (2014)/Lightroom 5.6)

    Images won't import from Lightroom to be edited. There were no problems until I upgraded to Photoshop (2014). LR & Photoshop work well independently (I have Creative Cloud 1.7.1.418/Photoshop (2014)/Lightroom 5.6). All are up-to-date.

    I had the same problem.  It seems the scripts that control the transfer of images from LR to Photoshop got deleted or messed up.  The fix I found on the LR forum was as follows:
    This solution allows you to run a repair installation without uninstalling Photoshop CC 2014. If you've already uninstalled Photoshop CC 2014, install it from the Apps tab of the Creative Cloud desktop application.
    Open the Creative Cloud desktop application.
    Select the Apps tab.
    Scroll down (if necessary) until the Find New Apps section displays.
    On the same line as Find New Apps, select Filters & Versions > Previous Version.
    Click the Install button next to Photoshop and select CC 2014.
    Click Yes, install this version.
    Once I did this, the interaction between LR and PS CC 2014 started working again.  I did notice that Photoshop showed up as needing to be updated in the Adobe CC application so I just clicked on the update button and after a few minutes photoshop had been updated.  The importing function still works so I think everything is OK.
    Not sure if this was part of the problem, but after updating the PS CC 2014 application  the first time, I uninstalled the original PS CC application as I didn't need it anymore.  I'm thinking that may have caused the scripts to be uninstalled along with the PS CC application.  Rerunning the installation put things back to normal.
    Hope this helps.

  • Aperture won't import DNG files: Panasonic Lumix FZ28

    Well, i went to a seminar on aperture and got all excited to use it, downloaded the trial and discovered that it won't import my camera's RAW files (even though it came out 2 years ago and is supported in PhotoShop)
    I've tried various way of creating DNG files with DNG Converter (the one that works with PS CS3) but Aperture doesn't recognize those, either. (linear, non linear etc) (Will the CS4 converter do the job?)
    Is there anything else I should be trying? Have any of you had success with the same camera and what do you do?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.
    Elizabeth

    Yep, that's what I discovered and it's the whole problem with the RAW files, but what about DNG?
    I thought converting to DNG might allow them to be accessed: so you're telling me that I'm out of luck and have to stick with PhotoShop?
    That dng is not a universal format recognized by Aperture?
    I appreciate your input

  • Render problem PPRO 2014 Low-level importer error MPEG (Importer)

    A problem I have encountered in PPRO CC, and now encountered in my project rendering with insane consistence. Ctrl-M, export to Adobe Encoder 2014, starts render, 3-5 minutes of problem-less rendering, then render fails with the above error in logs. Close PPRo 2014, close Encoder, reopen, reinitialize, might last longer - 10 mins., fails again. PC, i7, 16Gb RAM, 40Gbs scratch SSD disk, Quadro 2000, on the timeline a mix of Panasonic AF100 and the Lumix assortement (GH1 hacked, GH3), plus 2 GoPro 3, all AVCHD or H.264 files.
    Could that be a system configuration glitch?  Because I noticed that sometimes it would persistently halt render at one and the same spot, other times it will glide through it like knife through butter but halt later on a clip/inbetween clips that were of the same type. On the other hand, on the busy comb of selected clips on multiple tracks in a multi-camera gig, it is most definitely halting renders. Once I've done rendering bit by bit and have a lineup on one track with an adjustement layer on top across teh whole length of the assembled cadence of clips with a few effects on it - it finishes rendering no matter however long the workarea is, no errors then. What is up? This is driving me crazy, rendering turned into tip-toeing around this problem with the assembly of long programming out of 3-5min pieces of successful renders. Help!

    I'm having the same issue here.
    Error: A low level exception occurred in: Importer MPEG (Importer)

  • Panasonic HD .MTS File with FCP6

    I have an .MTS file from a Panasonic HD camera that I need to edit in FCP6.0.6. The file won't import natively and Streamclip reports it is an unknown file type. Help? Thanks!

    I have done a lot of reading on this topic over the past couple of days and come to the conclusion that ProRes is the best format to use for editing HD footage. I will use my Kona card to capture in ProRes without using firewire capture as I have been doing up to now. I can always use the Kona to convert to DVCPro HD if I want to save some space while keeping within the I frame format. If I am given footage on other media, where I can't capture via Kona, I will use the software StreamClip or ClipWrap to convert. There is a lot of good information out there and a few posts by Shane Ross were very helpful as well.
    Thanks again!

  • Bizarre problem trying to import .MTS (AVCHD) files into PSE7 Organizer

    Hi
    b Summary of problem:
    *I recently upgraded to PSE 7 / PRE 7
    *I am trying to import .MTS (AVCHD) files into the PSE7 Organizer
    *I get a "...did not contain any supported file types..." error on attempted import
    b HOWEVER...
    *I can edit same footage in PRE7
    *This footage is automatically added to the Organizer
    *I can play this footage in the PSE7 organizer but generating thumbnails takes ages
    *Camera: Sony HDR SR12 producing .MTS files (full 1920x1080i HD)
    *PC: Intel Core i7 940 CPU, 6GB RAM, RADEON HD 4870 512MB
    *OS: Vista 64 bit
    b Detail:
    I have recently upgraded my PRE/PSE bundle to ver 7 primarily because the new version of PRE boasts support for AVCHD.
    Having installed the new software I quickly tried editing footage in PRE7 with video taken on my Sony HDR SR12 camera (footage taken in full 1920x1080i HD) and it works! Hoorah! I can now finally edit AVCHD footage in it's native format using PRE. Thank you Adobe!
    But my joy was very shortlived because when I tried to import some other footage from the same batch into my PSE7 Video Catalog it wouldn't work. I got a pop up box containing the following error:
    i "Nothing was imported. The file(s) or folder(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in the catalog."
    Under this message is a list of the files that I tried to import. Next to each one there is a reason (it's the same reason for each clip):
    i "Reason: The file is damaged or is a format that cannot be included in the Organizer."
    To import files I use the following method: File / Get Photos and Videos / From Files and Folders
    HOWEVER, the files that I imported directly into PRE7 in order to edit them have (surprise, surprise!) automatically been added PSE7 Organizer's Catalog. It takes a quite a while to generate a thumbnail for each clip but it does eventually do it and when it does I can play that footage in PSE7.
    Just in case you're confused by this stage... If I try and manually add files to the PSE7 Organizer it doesn't work BUT if I edit that footage in PRE7 and then load the PSE7 Organizer I see the footage has been automatically added. This makes no sense whatsoever!
    Am I doing something really stupid here? Why oh why will the PSE7 Organizer not import .MTS (AVCHD) files?!
    NB: While searching for a solution to this problem I have, thanks to this Forum, found out about the K-Lite Codec Pack. I downloaded and installed the Basic pack v4.4.5 and now I can, at least, play my .MTS video files in Windows Media Player... I wish I had found out about that a couple of months ago because it would have saved me from buying Cyberlink PowerDVD 8!
    Please someone help before I lose the plot.
    Thanks

    b Camera: Sony HDR SR12 producing .MTS files (footage in full 1920x1080i HD)

    Hi
    I'd just like to add an update to this post.
    b Summary:
    *K-Lite Codec Pack clashes with Sony's Picture Motion Browser (PMB) software
    *Analysis of video in Sony's PMB is well worth doing!
    *You can Drag and Drop clips from Sony's PMB into PRE7
    b Detail:
    As you've probably gathered I have now settled on using Sony's Picture Motion Browser (PMB) to Catalog all my video. Sorry Adobe to talk about someone elses product but the Adobe Organizer just can't cope with AVCHD footage no matter how you manage to import it! It's far too sluggish and my PC has an Intel Core i7 940 CPU with 6GB RAM and a 10,000 RPM HDD!
    Anyway, in my first post you'll have read me raving about the K-Lite Codec Pack but sadly I've had to uninstall it because it kept on causing PMB to crash. PMB runs much smoother and quicker WITHOUT that codec pack. Something about it clashed with PMB. The once agile PMB became sluggish and unresponsive.
    Having now removed the codec pack PMB is back to being agile and generaly lovely.
    To view AVCHD footage outside of PMB I have reverted to using Cyberlink's PowerDVD 8 - there's always a pregnant pause between double-clicking on the clip and it playing but that's the only drawback.
    If you are going to use Sony's PMB for cataloging your video collection (and I recommend you do so BUT only if you have AVCHD footage - otherwise stick to Adobe's Organiser) then I can fully recommend "Analyzing" all of your footage. This takes time and a bit of patience because it kept stopping for no apparent reason but would readily start up again (without having to do anything else) BUT once it's done it'll reward you with the following:
    *Filter on any combination of Scenery, People, Smiles - e.g. with a click of a button you can isolate footage that contains smiles, etc
    *Face Search - if you select some or all of the footage in the right-hand pane it will then put a small thumbnail for all of the different faces in that selected footage in the bottom "Face Search" pane. If you then click on one of those thumbnails it will jump to the clip(s) that contain that face and grey out all the other clips
    *Expand Videos - This tool is brilliant! In normal viewing mode you get a thumbnail of the video whether you're in Folder view, Calender view or Detail List view. If, however, you select "Expand Videos" from the tool bar it will show you a series of frames contained within that clip. You can choose from "Highlights" or various regular intervals (5 secs, 10 sec, 30 sec, 1 min, etc). The Highlights option does a pretty good job of picking out the significant changes within the clip
    Lastly, I have discovered that you can drag a clip from Sony's PMB into PRE7. It won't let you put it directly onto the Timeline but it will let you drop it into the Project file list (found under the Edit tab).
    I do hope that this info has helped others like me who are trying to get to grips with editing and cataloging AVCHD footage.

  • I have a an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes. All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem.

    I have an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes.
    All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem. The movie in question is not 'corrupt' as you can watch it in iMovie direct from the SD card but as soon as you try to import it, it  just says 'error'. iIve tried moving the file to an external drive ( and other variations on this theme) then importing but have had no luck.
    Can anyone please help me.

    The mystery remains....
    Thanks for the pointers. The file type is .mts (a proprietry sony one).
    I have now found some video converter software (Wondershare and iSkysoft) at a cost. Either will convert this file for me into .mp4. This I can then import into iMovie without any problems. I've checked this on the trial versions and it worked well but without paying am left with a giant watermark in the video
    The mystery (which I still havent solved) is why did 20 other .mts files import fine and then this one not?
    If you could point me in the direction of some free .mts converter software that would be the cherry on the cake.
    Thanks

  • Premiere CC won't import AAC audio

    I'm trying to loop two videos together in Premiere Pro CC 2014.1. One of the videos won't import the audio, just the video track. The audio is in AAC format, the video is a MPEG-4 movie with H.264 format. Every other video I've tried imports as usual, but for some reason the audio drops off on this one. The video plays just fine in Quicktime with the audio track. When I import it, the audio track drops off and only the video track shows up.
    I didn't create the video, so I don't have access to the original working files. Anyone know any workarounds or fixes for this?
    Thanks!

    Hi Neila,
    Neila@IPSUMM wrote:
    Thanks for responding, but I work for a very small company and since I'm the only one who needs CC, I have the personal version installed.
    Also this appears to be a blanket issue with all audio and video file formats, thus not likely a codec issue since the files I've tried so far should be covered by premiere's compatibility, the even play in windows media player with no issue.
    Video itself plays fine, but any audio attached to a video, or just plain audio files will not import no matter what I try.
    Sorry my info didn't help.
    Two things to try.
    Create a brand new project and test if you can import the problematic files.
    If that does not work, change the name of the folder that contains your media files. Then try to import.
    Let us know what happens.
    Thanks,

  • IMovie Won't Import MP4 Files

    For some reason iMovie '11 won't let me import videos.  Specifically, I'm trying to add MP4 files that I copied to my hard drive from my GoPro HD 960.  For GoPro users, I used the R2 (720p) format.  They open properly in QuickTime and VLC but can't be imported into iMovie (or iPhoto).  When I select File-->Import-->Movies and browse to the directory where I saved all the .mp4 files on my hard drive, they're all greyed out.  And actually, it seems that just about no video files at all on my computer can be added (all greyed out)--even other MP4 files.
    I downloaded MPEG Streamclip but that says "unrecognized file format" when I try opening the videos.  I also installed Perian and rebooted.
    In case it helps:
    - I have an Intel MacBook running OS X 10.6.8 with iLife '11
    - QuickTime info for the video format says "H.264, 1280 x 720, Millions; AAC, 2 channels, 48000 Hz"
    - VLC says "Stream 0 (Video) - Codec: avc1" and "Stream 1 (Audio) - Codec: mp4a"
    Any ideas?  This is incredibly frustrating!

    Why iMovie Won't Import MP4 Files?
    Technically, iMovie does import MP4 video. However, iMovie only import MP4 files that are encoded with MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC data. And yet, MP4 is a video container format that may contain various audio and video codec (and sometimes even subtitle streams included). If the MP4 file is not encoded with iMovie support codec, iMovie will refuse to import this kind of MP4 video.
    How to Solve Can't Import MP4 into iMovie?
    In order to successfully import all kinds of MP4 files to iMovie, a recommended solution is to convert iMovie unrecognized MP4 to iMovie supported video format.
    iDealshare VideoGo is just the right MP4 to iMovie Converter which can convert various MP4 to iMovie supported MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MOV or DV. Besides converting MP4 to iMovie, iDealshare VideoGo also helps to convert other video formats including AVI, WMV, MPEG, VOB, MOV, AVCHD, MTS, M2T, M2TS, TOD, MOD, XAVC, FLV, MKV, SWF, 3GP, MVI, ASF and etc to iMovie video format.

  • Premiere Pro CC, Dolby Digital License missing for MTS / AVCHD audio import?

    Hi,
    I'm running Premiere Pro CC on Mac 10.8.4 importing MTS files captured on a new Panasonic V720 Camcorder that records MTS / AVCHD files.
    When I add the files to my project or drop them onto the timeline, the video appears fine but there's no audio and I get the warning message:
    "This installation does not have a license to decode Dolby Digital audio".
    I've tried switching from 5.1 to 2-channel audio on the camera in case that was the issue, no change.
    The file plays fine on the mac with VLC player or MPlayer - mplayer is decoding audio with the FFmpeg AC-3 codec. I've imported MTS files created with other cameras (but presumably with different audio codecs) into Premiere fine with my current setup.
    Any suggestions for getting this video and audio to work correctly?
    Thanks!

    Hey guys, thanks for the responses.  I have checked my audio preference settings and don't really see anything in there that looks helpful...the following are my settings:
    The LG TV is actually hooked up through a 7.1 receiver...I'm not sure why it registers the home theater unit as the tv....but 5.1 does play through my PC just fine with every other program.
    I've been playng around with the various export settings and have found that I can successfully export 5.1 audio using the H.264 preset and switching the channels in the audio tab to 5.1.  You cannot, however, do the same with the H.264 Blu-ray preset as it requires the above mentioned SurCode for compression.  I'm guessing that means the non-Blu-ray preset is then uncompressed?
    The projects that I'm setting up are very basic.  I'm just using a single mp3 import and snapping it to one of the rear speakers.  While editing, the sound does fade from the front channels but nothing comes out of the rear channels.
    I guess I'm just having a hard time understanding why PPCC can export 5.1 but not play it back while editing....
    Thanks again for the responses

  • FCP P2 woes. Import Panasonic P2 NADA!

    Okay. I had to shoot a project this past week blindly (no P2CMS or FCP to view the footage) and I almost had a nervous breakdown.
    My P2CMS won't play video from the cards and FCP failed me as well. An error message popped up saying "one or more clips failed; probable incomplete or corrupt clips."
    I began to research what was going. Someone suggested I update FCP. I did (5.1.4) and now the IMPORT>PANASONIC> window won't even drop down.
    I have no idea what's going on.
    I'm importing from folders on my desktop, by the way.
    Anyone care to chime in on either the P2CMS or FCP issue? Panasonic crtainly was no help in regards to P2CMS.

    Which codec did you shoot? DVCPRO HD or AVC Intra?
    Can you play the clips in the camera?
    Did you copy the entire folder from the P2 media to your disk with no name changes?
    BTW, a great forum for this type of question is:

  • Importing Panasonic HVX footage

    Hi there! Ok, if anyone can offer some words of wisdom on this I would be really appreciative!
    I'm currently working on a music video of which the shoot date is quickly approaching. We will be shooting in a green room using the Panasonic HVX recording to both a P2 card and also a firestorm drive.
    I have looked quickly at a tutorial on Creative Cow which explains P2 card imports into FCP. This basically says i need to download a driver (it has a link, i believe to the panasonic website) and then it becomes fairly simple as FCP converts the footage to Quicktime format on the way in.
    What i need to know is the process to get footage from the Firestorm drive into FCP, and whether or not there are any inherant problems with this. I'm imagining it will work along the same process as the P2 card (ie you specify import Panasonic P2 in FCP and pick the files from the drive).
    As I've never worked with the HVX before i would like to make sure i'm covering all areas before the project really kicks off and any help and advice anyone can give me would be immensely helpful.
    Thanks everyone!!

    Well, yes and no. It will act like a tape in how it records the footage. It cannot do 24PN for example (24 real frames per second). But it can record 24P over a 60 frame capture, causing you to need to reverse telecine the footage to get it to 23.98. Also, you have to have it prepare the footage for you into the P2 format. it records as a DIFFERENT format, and if you don't tell the drive to prepare it as P2, then it won't work well.
    Time for you to head on over to the Creative Cow P2 forum and research the archives about this device:
