Exporting Project Metadata (with MTS Files)

I have a project that contains about 90 MTS video files.
I used Premiere's Metalogging to add a short description to each video.
Is there a way I can export the text to... well, anything? So that someone can review the text?
I am wanting to put the filename, description, and maybe the duration into a text document. Can this be done without copying/pasting each line of text from Premiere into a text document?
Since the video files are MTS, is this going to make things especially difficult?

I'm not aware of any way to get this information out automatically.

No audio with .mts files in cs6

I don't have audio with .mts files problem is in bridge too i ve AE CS6 with latest updates. /in cs5 everything was ok/

What MTS files from where? What are your audio prefs in AE? What system are you running on? Did you check the audio panel? So many questions....

Premiere Elements 9 : no sound with .mts files

I'm having a bit of a problem getting my mts/avchd files to work with PE9. I imported the files using the organiser, and they play fine (video AND audio) from the organiser, but when I import the clips into PE9, only video is imported. There's no audio track and (logically?) no audio to be heard. How do I fix this?
Mind, these .mts files play fine in both the organiser AND windows 7. They're created on a Canon HF100 camcorder.

I do not know if there is a "Getting Started" tour of PrE offered now, but there should be, and in big, bold print, there should be a first message, that explains the necessity of matching the Project Preset exactly to the source footage. Next, the tour should go into how to determine the attributes of the source footage to a Project Preset. If there is not such a "tour," I feel strongly that there should be.
I believe that PrE 9 has added a feature that helps one match source footage to a Project Preset. In PrPro CS5, one would just drag one of the source videos to the New Icon, at the bottom of the Project Panel, after Import. This then creates a new Sequence (think mini-Project within a "master Project"), with the exact specs. required.
Many new users are unaware of the above necessity, and then are confounded by a whole list of Presets, that often do not make a lot of sense - yet. Probably a good 20% of all program problems trace back to a mis-match between the Project Preset and the source footage.
As for mixed format/CODEC footage, the best way to handle that is to either convert secondary set of footage to match the primary footage, for which the Project Preset has been established, or to do separate Projects, each matching their source footage 100%, and then doing an Export/Share to a format/CODEC, that matches the primary footage. Then, one can easily combine all of the footage into a single, new Project, or Import the Exported footage into the Project with the primary footage for final editing.
Good luck,
Hunt

Computer shuts down after exporting H.264 from mts file

My computer shuts down after trying to export a H.264 file from a .mts file. I did this with no problems a few days ago, twice! This time line is longer, about 6.5 minutes. I have a I 5 processor, a gtx 660 graphics card and 8 megs of ram. I exported audio as a wave file and added those to the timeline. In the events panel, I get a message: "file importer detected an inconsistency in the file structure of audience_end_short.wav. Reading and writing this files metadata (xmp) has been disabled". it said the same for another short bit of audio, .wav file. I thought maybe there was a over heating issue, but to no avail. Do I need to get an I 7 processor? Please help!

sorry about the spelling! Still going. About the driver issue. I was updating Geo Force drivers and my friend said to revert to the original install, which I did a while ago. That helped, but obviously didn't cure it. Wonder if I should do the same for windows updates. So although I'm still rendering after 2 hours, perhaps the new user acount will get me through this. So strange that I was able to render/export the exact files the other day. Like I said, this mts clip is longer by a minute. Plus, I got rid of the wav files that had a meta data issue. Thanks for helping me everyone. I'll keep you posted. But I do believe an I 7 processor will at least help in the speed department right?

How to export project(s) with GPS data

I tried to export a project with GPS metadata but when I import that project (as a library) into my Aperture on my iMac, no GPS data...
Am I missing something obvious??
Adam

Hello Adam,
First of all - shift-L does NOT bring up the lift and stamp HUD on my Aperture 3...in fact, on the menu, it has no keyboard shortcut.
That is surprising for me, perhaps in my list of questions I should also have asked for your OS and exact Aperture Version. I tried this with OS Lion 10.7.2 and Aperture 3.2.1.
But you found how to bring forward the Lift&Stamp HUD, so that is not so important right now.
It is really good to know that you see GPS data on your images. Those you should be able to export.
I apply your smart album and it's rules, that image shows up...so if I see latitude/longitude data in the metadata tab, why does your smart album pull it out??
Probably your GPS tags contain Latitude/Longitude allright, but not the GPS version.
Remove the rule '"GPS Version" is empty' from the smart album, then you will see only those images that don't even have Latitude or Longitude. Hopefully that are not too many.
I guess from my perspective, if I either assign a "place" for my pictures or import GPS info from my Garmin, shouldn't that put the right metadata in so that it could be exported properly?? If not, when I move these images to my iMac I will have to redo ALL my places...which doesn't make sense...
Sorry if I'm not getting it...
sorry, if I am not explaining properly...
I have done some experiments right now with my current Aperture version 3.2.1 and surprise, surprise! Seems I have to eat my words.
In this version 3.2.1 assigning a place to an image seems also to set the GPS EXIF data, not only the places name as IPICT. What a relieve! I used to have to assign Places data over over again, because the places information would not be recognized by my other applications. So my advice to you is to upgrade to 3.2.1 if you have not done so.
I suspect the GPS data you see without "GPS Version"-tags are those you created manually in Places, wheras any other GPS data with GPS Version Tag come from your imported Garmin tracks.
I have to make further experiments with this new behaviour before I can feel confident to give advice, and I could use a helping hand here. Anyone?
@Kirby Krieger: I see you have been looking in on this thread, could you please confirm if this new places behaviour is also true in SL, if you have time?
Sofar I tested the following with several folders and it worked beautifully: Try it.
Export the folder from Aperture as a Library: File -> Export -> Project as a library
Reimport it to Aperture on your other machine: File -> Import -> Library/Project

Why is the audio not working in Prelude or Bridge with .MTS files?

There is clearly something buggy with Prelude and Bridge (CS6) on .mts files. I changed one test file from .mts to m2ts and ithe audio works. This however is not a easy workaround since I have thousands of .mts files. Any thoughts, suggestions, updates? thanks

I don't know if you need and answer anymore. But I had the same problem with premiere. I have tried to duplicate the conditions but now it alwasy works.
After trying awhile and opening and closing CS6 I noticed that when you start a new project. Above the Name you enter, It says capture format and it was set to DV. I clicked on it and there was the option HDV.
Since my footage is HD I chose that and when I dragged and dropped my file there was sound attached,
Another time it happened, So I took a look at the 2nd screen that comes up that I usually hit cancel on. And saw the AVchd Folder Icon.
I clicked on it
And I picked the format I would use. For Me it was 1080p 24
I clicked okay. There was a sequence indicator in the source files but I ignored that and dragged and dropped my file into the project box. I got video and sound that way, Now for whatever reason. I don't have to do any of those things for the file to have sound,
I think they mention it here but there is another post that says to be able to use markers on MTS files you need to either copy the file directly from the source or copy the entire AVCHD directory in what ever file you store videos,
That means keeping your SD card or Camera Hard drive clean so you don't import the same clips over and over.
I have been playing with Prelude but I am not sure if I as a one man show doing simple little movies need it.
Speedgrade looks more useful and I am learning that,
I don't know if this is helpful or too late to be helpful but I just figured it out recently.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 hangs - Problems with MTS files?

Hello all,
So I've read the other MTS file posts on here about problems importing. I had this issue initially but moved the folder and it worked.
I got into my project and every now and then I would get this lagging, where Premiere Pro would still play, but the cursor would be frozen, and anything I click on wouldn't highlight... can't scroll etc. This seems to happen when the fan in my mac kicks up.
It has gotten to the point now where I can't edit the project at all because this happens about 3 minutes in each time. Works fine for a few, then fan kicks up and everything starts lagging and freezing. What's weird is I found a part on the screen, that if I click it, the screen updates to what I just did. SO WEIRD.
THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ON ANY OTHER PROJECT. And this project isn't even that big. So I highly doubt it's a computer performance issue as I've worked on RED RAW and Prores 4444 files on my macbook pro (which I'm on now) with no issues.
Long story short I've tried about everything, and feel the only solution is to transcode to prores and start all over with the edit (which would be brutal) but I've already completed so much work! Does anybody have experience with this or a work around?
Thanks!

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for responding.
I was given a drive with the RAW files on them. I originally just used finder and dragged and dropped into Premiere, since that's what I've always done... but since the issue I'll start using what you mentioned.
Did NOT update the project. Started it on CC 2014.
I tried importing the sequence into a different project and the same issue is occurring. But below I've given more info as to my problems. I'm really concerned I'm going to have to start it all over again. I recently transcoded all files to Prores 422 (hq) in case that's what I need to do. But I'm really hoping there's something I can do to resolve this. Though I have a feeling it's the .MTS files causing issues.
What version of Premiere Pro?
Premiere Pro v8.1.0
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
OS X 10.9.5
What kind(s) of source footage?
AVCHD... I went about "show package contents" until revealing the .MTS files.
What were you doing when the problem occurred?
Editing. Noticed in the beginning, but as the sequence as gotten longer the problem became more persistent, until now it's ALL THE TIME... and the computer fan kicks up right away like it's struggling with playback.
What other software are you running?
Shut down all other programs so Premiere is just running. Still happens. All other projects have been working fine but this is the first with .MTS.
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
No.
Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU).
None.
Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration?
Yes.
Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both?
Everything. Screen lags and freezes with anything. It still plays back without interruption, but my cursor won't move, windows won't update, I can't scroll anywhere unless clicking the top part of Premiere (then it magically updates what I did a moment ago).

Adobe Premiere CS6 'Create new Trimmed Project' Crash with .MXF files

Yesterday I started to back up all our students work, and found that the "Create New Trimmed Project" no longer works in CS6 with .MFX files.
Adobe Premiere CS6.0.3, crashes when I try to "Create New Trimmed Project" under "Project Manager"
This only happens when there are .MXF files in the Sequence.
As we use Panasonic P2 cameras at this university, this is a problem, as this is the format that they shoot in.
As a test I have made a Project with only one .MXF file placed on the sequence, and it crashes.
This happens on my Macs and Windows machines with Adobe Premiere CS6 .
Adobe Premiere CS5.5 works fine, and does not crash.
Unfortunately I cant save a CS6 project as a CS5.5
If you don't have any .MXF files to test this,
You can make your own .MXF files by exporting any video file as "MXF OP1a" or "P2 Movie" Format, (the Preset setting is irrelevant - any preset will cause it)
P.S.
Using "Collect files and Copy to new Location" under "Project Manager" works fine, but does not reduce project size as much.

I also discovered this behavior last summer. Unfortunately the best (lame) answer I could find was that "Some formats, such as Long GOP based media files, cannot trim media, or add handles." Source: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b1038518aef7-7c72a .html
That's not very specific, but in my case at least (and it sounds like in your case, too) .MXF may be another file type that cannot be trimmed. If I remember correctly, the answers I got from others was that they were able to export fine. My machine (and maybe yours) has an issue that nobody else seems to have encountered. So none of the prescribed remedies allowed me to move forward in this regard.
After much searching, asking and several suggestions from various Premiere communities, I gave up and moved on.
Use Remove Unused and then Collect Files and Copy to New Location. At least that can help you if you have a lot of clips. In my case, it didn't help much, because my very short clips were edited from very long takes, so as Premiere sees it, not much was "unused".
Be aware that "Project Manager does not copy and collect After Effects compositions that are dynamically linked to an Adobe Premiere Pro project. Project Manager does save the Dynamic Link clip in the trimmed project as an offline clip, however."
Wish I could offer you more.

Pb export/import keywords with psd file

While working with export and import of metadata, I found the following strange behavior with LR1.3.1:
0) Initial keywords
1) In LR, I modified keywords of a psd file
2) Export of metadata
3) Remove all keywords of the picture in LR
4) Then, reload of keywords.
=> I should get keywords defined at the step 1
and I always get initial keywords (step 0). It appears than something is not working as I would expect when importing, just exported data.
Any help to understand this behavior or workaround would be welcome.
Thanks all,
PH

As Curt stated, the keywords are written to the file itself and will not be cleared using the clear and import function in Keywords.
Using the clear and import option is useful if you want to get rid of the default keywords or have a better new list for import at hand. If you already have assigned some of these old keywords to files and they are not present in your current list then they will show as italic in the keyword panel (usually at the bottom under "Other keywords") once a file with this old keyword is selected in Bridge.
When a keyword is in italic then you have the option to make it again persistent in your new list using right mouse click menu or leave it as it is. Using the find option in the menu should provide you with the result of all present keywords in the files you are searching in, regardless if they are in the list or not.

Serious quality loss with MTS files and iMovie '11

Hello,
I have some issues with my brand new Panasonic HDC SD700 (a full HD camera)
I experience serious quality loss when I use iMovie to create a movie.
I did some tests, but still puzzled int this world of codecs and formats.
Maybe some of you can help.
I have made a short shot of 450 sec with highest mode (1080p 24fps)
It show is finder as a .MTS file size 99MB, I'm very happy with the quality when I play this with VLC.
iMovie turns this file into a .mov file with 635MB size, in Apple Intermediate Codec, Linear PCM, Timecode. This quality is already poor compared to original MTS file.
No wonder that the output file (select 1080p H.264 codecs) results also in unacceptable quality.
I'm running latest imOvie version with all updates etc.
I have no idea were to look to solve this issue. It is quite annoying since I have invested in a top Cam recorder. Not sure is Final cut express will sure the issue either.....

I have made a short shot of 450 sec with highest mode (1080p 24fps)
Have you tried shooting at the PAL standard of 25fps? I checked the specs for your Panasonic but didn't see any mention of a 24fps mode, but most reviews seem to miss mentioning the shooting modes. If you did indeed shoot at 24fps, did you choose this frame rate when importing to iMovie '11?
I export as 1080p (same as original. My output is a bit blurry and colors are a bit pale.
Did you use the 1080p preset under Share to Media Browser, or Export using QuickTime? If the latter, be sure to select an appropriate data rate - if set too low this may result in poor quality output.
And yes you are right I'm using IMovie '11, quite confusing that '11 means version 9.0
Yes - very confusing! In the forums, iMovie versions are generally referred to by their year number, not version number. It's a pity that we have version 9.0 (iMovie '11) and iMovie '09.
Glad you liked the video - it looked very clear on YouTube at 1080p Full Screen, at least to my ageing eyes!

Help with .MTS files

Hi all
I am sure this has been asked many times, but I really know very little at all about video files and have tried a few things already.. but my lack of skill / understanding isn't helping!
I have some .MTS footage filmed at uni that I need to very simply edit (cut and join different clips). I brought the .MTS files home on my memory stick as I thought, yay, iMovie time! When iMovie didn't recognise the files, I thought I'd have a go with FCPX trial version, which I thought was bound to be able to handle them, as surely such flashy software can handle HD stuff... Alas, no, and I'm gutted.
I have tried to convert my files to .mp4 (seems to be the main option in free converters) but I lose a lot of the quality, they look dreadful. I don't mind losing *some* quality, but these looked totally yucky.
So I wondered if someone might help me understand how to get these .MTS files into FCPX (as I'd really like to try the software out now it's here!). I would try importing direct from the camera, but 1. I left the camera at uni this weekend and 2. I deleted the original files, thinking I'd be fine to, as I have copies in about 3 places. Gah!
Any tips that a simpleton like me can follow would be much appreciated. Sorry if this is a question brought up all the time!
Sam

general advice:
Avoid ANY converter, which converts 'orphanized' mts to h.264 - that's a (very) lossy process.
Why?
Because, mts IS h.264!
so, two-and-a-half options:
• use a converter, such as ClipWrap, able to convert straight to FCPX' intermediate format proRes
• use an un-wrapper, like free Rewrap2M4V, to 'unpack' the mts into a mov (rename resulting suffix)
• or, try Panasonics free AVCAMRestorer which claims to re-establish a fully functional AVCHD-structure, which allows FCPX to trigger its own import-routines with your mts

Color correction with .mts files

Hi,I´m editing .mts files in premiere pro, but I want to do the color correction in a diferent program, but since must of the programs don´t support mts files, what would you recomend? after that, I want to get back to premiere to finish my worflow, but I don´t wan´t any compression, any advice? I would love to correct in Da Vinci..

YOu want to color grade this in DaVinci...which doesn't support .mts...but you don't want to recompress the footage into something that DaVinci will work with? You don't want ANY compression? Not possible...if you want to go to DaVinci. You will need to compress to something it recognizes, and then guess what? You will compress again when you render out of DaVinci...but if you send ProRes or DNxHD the recompress won't really have any degredation.
or use Speedgrade...

No sound in Premiere Pro with .mts files

Hello,
when i import .mts files in Adobe Premiere Pro. There is no sound, why? I can import other other video files, like .mp4 and there is sound.
Please Help!
Premiere Pro detects the most settings false, it said 25p but i recorded with 50i and 1080i

There is Audio in my files, the files are produced by an Sony Legria HF S10. I can play the sound with vlc Media Player, but in Premiere Pro CS 5, they said in the file is no sound!
Other files, like .mp4 had a little speaker on the clip, but .mts files not!
I used the Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5 German Trial.

No sound imported with mts file

I've a paid subscription version of CS6. I'm trying to import an mts file but no audio will show in the timeline panel. This worked perfectly yesterday. I can preview in bridge with no problem. I can play back with vlc player no problem. What's going on

Sorry my friend. I did not mean to insult your intelligence in any way. I'm on Lynda.com a lot. Just did the one on updates to CS6 Premiere and I've been working professionally in the industry for over 20 years. Sorry I can't help much with this issue.
I am wondering from other posts I've seen, if the problem is with third party cards, AJA, BMD, Matrox, etc, even the CUDA cards. Don't know if you use these. Our CS6 Premiere is only on a MacBook Pro at the moment, so none of the third party concerns and it's working fine with AVCHD, ProRes, HDV. I did have one file go offline, but easily relinked it and all it good. All the best!

No auido with .mts files

I import my .mts file. It plays in the Preview. I have NO audio.
I have tried every option in the "Audio Hardware" , still nothing.
I have used converters, to convert to "ipad/iphone", I get audio.
Any ideas?
