FCE4 and Sony 12E avchd recorder and importing mts files

Hi
I can import my sony no trouble and fce4 is excellent but what i want to do is to save all my sony data (mts) files onto an external hdd and then access these from fce4 ?
Well i copied my files to the hdd but fce4 doesnt seem to recognise the mts files (they are greyed out) ?
Is there any way i can do this ?
Cheers
Dave

FCE doesn't work with mts files. Where did these come from? If they came from a camera and include the whole folder structure that contains the metadata they can be accessed from the log and transfer window. If not you might be able to convert them using Voltaic.

  • 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

  • How import mts file from sony nx5 in final cut pro

    how import mts file from sony nx5 in final cut pro

    LOG AND TRANSFER.  I have the full workflow here:
    http://library.creativecow.net/ross_shane/tapeless-workflow_fcp-7/1
    Make sure you are running FCP 7.0.3.  That version deals with files from the NX5 the best.  If you are on a previous version, like FCP 6....you will need to use CLIPWRAP2 from Divergentmedia.com.  As the specific AVCHD format the NX5 uses is something that FCP 6 cannot really deal with. 
    Gotta love new camera formats.

  • 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

  • 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

  • FAQ: How do I troubleshoot audio issues when importing .MTS files?

    Hello.   The link FAQ: How do I troubleshoot audio issues when importing .MTS files?
    does not work, and i need the answer please. My imported MTS clips are not playing back audio because it seems that no audio imported with the video.   Thanks, Don.

    Hi there
    Audio plays when the object with the audio assigned appears. This is why you hear it when the Button appears.
    Try assigning the audio instead to the object that appears when you click the button. Perhaps the caption.
    Cheers... Rick

  • 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 ?

  • Importing MTS files in Premiere Pro CS5 Trial

    I just bought the Master Collection but I am getting the box sent to me via mail so while I am waiting I am using the trial version. Anyways I tried importing MTS files from my hard drive and I am getting the following error - "file has an unsupported compression type." Is this because of the trial version? Will this work as soon as I get my serial number and officially register the product? Thanks in advance.
    - Zef

    Is this because of the trial version?
    Yep; no MPEG-based assets in the trial due to licensing restrictions.
    Will this work as soon as I get my serial number and officially register the product?
    Yep; be sure to uninstall the trial before you install the Master Collection, though. It's a good idea to run the CS5 Clean Script, too.

  • I can't import MTS files in premier cc2014

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

  • Unable to import mts files

    i just updated my premiere to the latest version (cc 2014) and when i try to import mts files it gives me an error message that the file compression type is not supported.
    i have tried to rename the folder as well as deleting the media cache files, i even tried going back to the older version of premiere and now it wouldn't work either.
    anyone has a solution?

    Rename the folder again and manually empty the media cache database folder. (so that it is really empty).
    Where are the mts files stored (what kind of drive).
    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

  • 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.
