CS6.0.2 Update No Fix For AVCHD Spanned Clips - Workarounds?

While I try to avoid Spanned Clips as much as possible due to a history with Premiere importing them, for event coverage we still get them and I just can't figure out how to make them work in Premeire CS6 on OS X. I see lots of posts about this and would like to know if there is a fix that does not require purchasing another product (like MTS Merge $35).
We are using AVCHD footage from Pansonic cameras and if it spanned, the sound will be missing for much or all or the clip.
I have tried using the Media Browser to import the entire AVCHD folder.
I have tried using Panasonics AVCHD Viewer application to import the footage (switches wrapper to .mt2s instead of .mts).
I have tried transcoding to new codec (Quicktime and VLC will play the MTS file correctly but output loses audio sync).
Ugh, this is terrible. Has anyone else found a workaround?

Unfortunately this is not a spanned clip problem with Adobe or Panasonic. This issue does come up from time to time.
Be sure when you pull the card from your camcorder, you LOCK IT immediately. Then it becomes impossible to change anything on the card purposely or inadvertantly (and as you are aware, changing anything - structure, file names, ANYTHING - on the card will blow the whole operation, so locking it is perfect). Also, sometimes Mac users have problems when they fail to lock their cards, because Mac OS immediately starts writing files to the card if it's not locked.
When you're using the Media Browser in PPro, be certain that you are viewing the clips in AVCHD mode (there's a dropdown option for this right there in the Media Browser). If you're importing individual clips from a single continuous recording, you're NOT in AVCHD mode, and this will always cause the problem you are describing.
I don't mean to lay this out as "you're doing it wrong" but unfortunately this is all very well documented at this point, and whenever there is a problem with spanned clips, it is 100% of the time due to a user that renamed something, moved files, or otherwise didn't follow the complete rules of AVCHD management. I don't normally use a term like 100% (tend to prefer 99.9%) but I say 100% because it is absolute in this case.

  • 10.5.7 Update Possible Fix for Mail and Safari crash

    Hi all,
    I'm far from a computer whiz, but I've had both my MBP and my MacMini go kaput within 12 hours of each other from what had to be 10.5.7 update. I did the software update install on both without backup :0(
    Anyhoo, I was experiencing same problems as many on the boards. Mail would crash, Safari would crash, etc. Spent three hours and two minutes on phone with Apple Care. Not overly helpful but they tried.
    Ended up creating a new user and migrating data. Took the better part of a day. I do not recommend! Downloading whole installer kind of daunting as I am in Saudi Arabia where internet can be...sketchy...
    I found this post below here and it fixed everything on my Mini. I'm not guaranteeing anything, but it sure helped me. You may want to try it if everything else is not working...
    Props to rwtroxel!

    I think I figured it out. Deleted "Internet Plug-Ins/JavaPluginCocoa.bundle" and everything now works.

    Problems arising right after installing a system update are usually the result of the problem already being there, or some filesystem corruption that should have been fixed first, or not having installed the update properly (e.g. applications running while installing it), or having ignored Apple’s “Important: Please read before installing” warnings, etc.
    Quit all the applications and verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, if you’ve installed Safari 3 Beta, uninstall that first, then reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with the computer:
    About the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update
    Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update for PowerPC
    Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update for Intel
    After installing the Combo Update, the computer may restart twice and the first restart may take several minutes. This is normal.
    If you installed the latest Security Update, you may need to reinstall that as well:
    Security Update 2007-006 (Universal)
    Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
    Troubleshooting installation and software updates
    Installing software updates
    Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk and back up before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.
    BTW, please update the Operating System field on your My Settings’s profile (and click Save), so that the version of Mac OS X you’re running now automatically appears in all your posts and not just in some of them.

  • IOS iphone 3GS update - sync/backup/update fail fix for frozen Iphone

    Hi
    downloaded new itunes 9.2, updated iPhone software.
    Result: perma fail of apple logo with empty sync bar, nothing goes.
    Fix:
    essentially you need to to go and restore to factory setting twice with a step of restoring an old iPhone back up and after repeating the same procedure restoring to your latest back-up.
    how to fix it step by step:
    - disconnect iPhone from computer
    - relaunch iPhone by holding down power & home button
    - close and restart itunes
    - reconnect iPhone
    - watch closely when iPhone reappears, click immediately on restore (before it starts another freezing sync/back up session)
    - restore factory settings
    - when asked if you want to back up first, click yes
    - when asked if you want to restore from backup after the factory settings restore - DO NOT CHOOSE the latest backup, restore from old pre-upgrade backup, even if its a year old (you will later do another restore, and than choose your latest back-up)
    - restore iPhone successfully, turn on, use
    - go back to itunes, connect iPhone again, click restore to factory settings again
    - do NOT back up this time
    - after restore, now use latest back up from before the restore to rebuild
    result: all pictures, email settings, apps are back as they were pre-perma-freeze fail.

    Read the above post but having difficulty - how to fix it step by step:
    disconnect iPhone from computer
    relaunch iPhone by holding down power & home button
    close and restart itunes
    reconnect iPhone
    watch closely when iPhone reappears, click immediately on restore (before it starts another freezing sync/back up session)
    restore factory settings
    I can get this far but do not get this option! - when asked if you want to back up first, click yes
    ONly get one type of restore option! Any ideas

  • 2600 Photosmart on Windows 7- Update or fix for XP disc?

    Hi, I want to install the 2600 Photosmart software  that stops compatibility with XP on a Windows 7 laptop. Can I?  Is there an update of the software?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi @woolysmissus,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that you want to install the HP Photosmart 2600 software that stops compatibility with XP on a Windows 7 laptop.
    If you had XP and you upgraded to Windows 7. Before installing the new software, I would uninstall the old software first. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    After uninstalling you can download the Windows 7 software using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
    Also you can always find any of your printer's drivers that is currently available at this website. HP Photosmart 2610 All-in-One Printer Drivers.
    Hope this is what you are looking for, and have a nice day!

    Open Finder. Go to the "Go" menu in the menu bar. Press and hold Control and click on Library. Go to "Preferences". Find a file named, "com.apple.iTunes.plist" and delete that file. This won't delete your iTunes content. It will reset iTunes. Try it again.

  • Canon 5D Mark III - CS6 - Handling of spanned clips

    Hi,
    I was looking to pick up a 5d Mark III and I was wondering how most tend to handle the workflow for rejoining spanned clips. I`m going to be using Premiere CS6. I know that the Media Browser can rejoin P2 media and such, does it work the same way with the Mark III?
    What do most use for the rejoin?
    Thanks

    The files are sequencially named so you can easily grab several and drag to your timeline and they will be butted up to form a continous flow.
    You can do this, but I'm not sure it makes much sense to ignore
    the Media Browser to opt for manually re-assembling your
    source media files before editing.
    That's what the Media Browser does automatically
    (as pointed out in post #1).

  • Is there a fix for modal dialogs opening behind palettes -cs6 -osx 10.6.8

    Is there a fix for modal dialogs open behind palettes in
    Photoshop cs6 13.0 (createive cloud update) + OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro? 
    ( I am using 2 monitors where the second monitor is set to be the menu display.  cs4 does not exhibit this bug. )
    Toggling the Application Frame off improves the hiding 'feature' but this does not include the desired continuous floating in front of palettes in all circumstances.
    An example is Blending Options, then chose Stroke, then chose the Color Picker.  After clicking OK, the Blending Options dialog now sits behind the palettes.  One trick is to click on another app, then back to cs6 to force a window redraw.
    It sure would help me if this could be solved.  I am preparing educational videos and this display bug makes things very troublesome.
    Thanks for any help.  If I find a solution, I will post to this thread so everyone can benefit.

    The setting for the graphics check box Does Not make a difference.  If I have a new document window open, then add a layer, then open the blending options > drop shadow > edit the color > the chooser dialog opens, and immediately both dialog windows drop behind the palettes AND any document windows.
    The same behavior for the Preferences dialog > guides > color.
    The quick workaround is to click another app, then back to CS6.  A real pain, of course.
    It is only a factor when opening a second (child) dialog box.
    Other CS6 apps do work correctly (eg. FW AE)
    I have yet to get a handle on this.  Mac OSX 10.6.8    CS6 13.0  x64
    Thanks for your replies, and the long reply time for me was a vaction away from the office.

  • Still no fix for Photoshop Install / Update Error? (Exit Code 15 - inconsistency in installer db)

    I have tried every suggested fix to no avail... what gives Adobe?
    - Removed all versions of Photoshop
    - Started in safe mode
    - Used cleaner tool
    - Used plist method
    All apps update except Photoshop and I can't install at all on other MacBook Pros.
    Can we please get a fix for this? So many threads on this topic from other customers!!!

    After using the Adobe Clean tool, I checked its output log and it mentioned it couldn't find a "caps.db" in the Common Files/Adobe/caps/ folder under Program Files or Program Files (x86).
    So what I did: I manually deleted the Adobe folders from:
    - Program Files
    - Program Files (x86)
    - Program Files (x86)/Common Files
    After that, I was able to install successfully Photoshop CS5.1 and at this very moment I'm able to install PS CS6 (it's been already 50% of the installing progress).
    So far, this action of deleting the Adobe folders from my Program Files folders seems to be sorting out the matter...

  • Premiere CS6 Audio slow update Fixed

    I refer to this thread..
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4912885#4912885
    After a recent meeting with filming collegues, I was asked if i knew a solution to this problem. Basically the user didnt have this problem in Premiere CS3 but does now have it in CS6 and coincidentally I have had this problem since installing CS6. I setup a plan for Adobe CC but as the problem was still prevalent in CS7 (CC) I cancelled my plan.
    Problem
    Basically when you scale the timeline to zoom in and edit, it takes ages for the audio waveform to reappear/rebuild in the audio timeline window. I have to wait for sometime 10-15 secs every time i scale the timeline which is a preverbial pain in the A@@.
    I read the forums and saw others having the same problem, adobe advice was get the latest drivers they didnt have the problem which was a bit dismisive. I got the latest video card drivers and no fix.
    It dawned on me this evening that I have tailored by windows to suit my editing needs and my timeline window has an audio level window at the end of it. I decided to move the timeline to occupy the complete bottom of the screen, ergo no windows left and right and BINGO immediate (well nearly) audio waveform update quickly in the timeline window when I scale the timeline.
    So it seems the problem lies with the coding of scaling windows NOT drivers hence a fix needed by adobe for CS6 and cs7/CC, but at least we have a workaround!.
    Hope this helps anyone 8)

    Bought CS5 10/08. Not yet upgraded to CS6. Was getting free updates of fixes. Not in a while. Why?

    What particular update are you looking for?  For Creative Suite 5 the only updates we are likely to make at this point will be for important security updates.

  • Type UI in CS6 in Surface Pro 3 is too small.  Adobe needs to isuue a fix for CS6.

    I don't need to upgrade CS6 for any photography reason.  Adobe should make CS6 UI readable fro surface pro 3 users.  They have a fix for later versions.  Why not make it available in other earlier versions of photoshop.  This is not a question of adding new features, it is a question of making the UI readable.

    However good software companies like Microsoft fixes bugs user report on their Current  Software.  Adobe should fix bugs on current marketed software  like CS6 Adobe chooses not to. Microsoft fixed XP till the middle of 2014 years after windows 7 and win 8 were current.   Bugs go unfixed in Photoshop release after release. Adobe Program support continues to be sub par year after year.
    Currently there are three CS6

Photoshop remains open after the image files are create with no open documents. I need to click on the bridge in the task bar to bring bridge back into focus.
