Importing MTS Files into organizer

I have about 70 files that are .MTS without the directory structure. When I important them into organizer, they are vertically stretched. How can I fix this?
I have a feeling this question has been answered, but after 45 minutes of searching the forums I was unable to find it.

Fan

Fan,
Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, you have posted to the Tips & Tricks sub-forum, which is basically a repository for articles on how to do things in Premiere, and gets very few "eyes." Maybe our MOD, Steve Grisetti, can move this out to the main forum, so that more can see it, and can help.
I do not use MTS material, so am not an expert in this area. However, if footage is being stretched, or squeezed, it is usually an issue with the PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio), and Premiere not picking up the flag for the footage correctly. See this ARTICLE for more background. Usually, one can use Interpret Footage in the Project Panel, to force Premiere to "see" the correct PAR.
Good luck,
Hunt

Importing .MTS files into FCP 10

I just purchased a Canon C-100 and am delighted with the results. However, I need to know how to import the .MTS files into Final Cut Pro-10. I have imported the files to one of my hard drives, but FCP-10 does not recognize them.

Hi kennethcnelson!,
Final Cut Pro should support the MTS format. In order to be recognized, the files must be within the identical folder/file structure on the camera.
If this is a time sensitive-matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.

Importing MTS Files into CS4

Hello! I've tried importing multiple MTS files into my Premiere project. The video comes out fine, but the audio is nothing but horrible scratching. When replayed on the camera, the audio is fine. I've tried doing different AVCHD settings under Sequence Presets, but none of them seem to have any effect.
(Also, my boss seems to be under the idea MTS files can be native to Pro so they don't have to be rendered. True?)
Thank you!

It IS a Sony NX5U camera! Way to be a mind reader.
Obviously the video has already been shot. How would you suggest converting the audio to .wav... seperate the two in Pro, cut out the video, export that way, and then import it back in?
Thanks so much for the help!!

When I import .mts files into Premiere 7 the audio is intermittent?

Good afternoon. I am new to this forum and your help would be appreciated. I have recently purchased a Sony Hard Drive Camcorder X105E and I have done my first filming. When I import the files into Premiere Elements 7 and preview them the audio is intermittent on playback. What am I doing wrong cause I cant figure it out?
Thanks in advance for your answers

OK, on the I/O, you have one, nicely sized, physical HDD. You don't have it partitioned, do you?
With one physical HDD, so many things are happening at the same exact time:
1.) your OS is reading/writing to it
2.) your program is reading/writing to it
3.) your media is being read from it
4.) your OS's Virtual Memory is probably being used, so it's reading/writing to it
The problem is that all of these (plus possibly some other programs/Processes) are fighting to get their data handled at the same time. Each is telling the HDD that it needs the heads in one place on a platter. Same for the next program, and the next. Unfortunately, regardless of the speed of the HDD and the speed of the controller, the heads can only be in one place at one time.
Especially for the Audio (that is more I/O intensive, than the Video usually is - it taxes the CPU much more), you will benefit from more physical HDD's.
I just posed an ARTICLE in the Tips & Tricks sub-forum. It links to two articles by Harm Millard. His article on HDD setup is a gem. Now, it takes things to a professional NLE level, and few are quite ready for that, still the info is good. Much can be extrapolated from his suggestions. Though he lists the ultimate Video editing setup, many concepts can be applied on a smaller scale. You might want to read over the linked articles. They will give you some things to think about.
Also, I just saw an ad for a 1TB WD ATA-300 HDD for US$ 79.00 at Fry's Electronics. While you may need an ATA-100, this shows how far prices have fallen. I've got an ATA-100 1TB, to augment my 4x1TB SATA II's, and it's not that old. I paid US$ 400 for it! Should have waited, but then I've used it for the last year, so all is not lost.
Good luck,
Hunt

Problems importing .mts files to organizer

I just installed Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements 9. I imported all my pictures and itworked fine. However, the organizer immediately stopped working and closed after I imported my .mts video files. When I try to restart the organizer, it starts up and then immediately freezes and I get a "Elements 9 organizer has stopped working" message and then it shuts down again.
I tried dragging the .mts files directly into the organizer and if I only do one it works fine. However, I get the same error when I try adding a second .mts file the same way. I'm running Windows 7 with 9GB of RAM and an Intel i7 930 processor, so hardware shouldn't be a problem. The videos also run fine on other software, so I'm pretty sure they're not corrupted. I also tried uninstalling both programs and then reinstalling them, but I get the same error. Any ideas on what the problem is or a fix? Tech support couldn't help me and it will be very frustrating if I can't use the organizer for my videos.

I also have a Canon HF200 Camcorder that uses .mts files and just purchased Premiere Elements 8 two months ago. The .mts files will download to the organizer without problem, but both the downloader and the organizer show blank thumbnails. This makes it very difficult to know which clips you are looking at without previewing them first. I have tried converting to .m2ts files, as some suggested, but this does not work either.
I just read of the release of Premiere Elements 9, Has this problem been fixed in Premiere Elements 9?
I am using a new computer with an i7 920 @ 2.67GHz on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
Thanks.

Importing MTS files into Premiere Pro cs5

I have been reading though some threads recently and now it has me wondering what I am missing on this subject. I have been working with MTS files for quite a while and have been dragging the folder into my project and rendering from there. (iMac 2012 with retina display)
Does this method affect the quality of these files? Is it better to convert them from a converter program and then import them? Also I have not been able to use any of the clips unless I keep them attached to the whole. Noticing this is not the case for my friend who uses .mov. Is there a way around that, that I am not aware of.
Coming from SD digital tape based camera to the Canon XA10 using ACVHD cards the quality already looks better to me, but if there is a chance it can look even better than I want to try that method out.
Thanks for any help/ideas I can get.

In PSE 9.0, how do I import from files into organizer without duplicating images already in the orga

In PSE 9.0, how do I import images from hard drive files into the organizer without importing duplicated files already in the organizer or
How do I find duplicated images within the organizer so that I can delete them?

I imported a bunch of photos from iPhoto 4 on one machine to iPhoto 5 on another, expecting it to catch duplicates, without testing beforehand (duh). It didn't catch them, and now I'm trying to figure out which were the imported ones so I can delete them.
As this looks to be a laborious task if done from within iPhoto, and deleting the files via the Finder is a no-no -- assuming I can even identify the duplicates -- is there a third-party app, or even a good trick, for doing this?

Can I import MTS files into Final Cut Express?

It seems like FCE only reads MOV and MP4 files, and sometimes it doesn't even read those for me. Is there no easy way to import and edit MTS video files?

If the source files are HD, then use Clipwrap:

and convert the source files to Apple Intermediate Codec.

Organizer 8 terminates when downloading/importing MTS file

I am in Organizer trying to download a video file (MTS) from a memory card. The file shows up for me to select when I do the File > Get Photos & Videos > From Camera or Card Reader. I select it and click done. Then I get the message "Files Successfully Copied" with the message that Organizer will now import the file into the catalog. It asks if I just want to see the catalog entries that were imported. I click Yes. I get a window saying "Getting Media". That window stays up for a few seconds then goes away along with the whole Organizer task.
When I restart Organizer I get a dialog box saying Files Ready for Import. New files have been downloaded and will now be imported. It then asks again if I just want to see catalog entires that were just imported. I say Yes. Again it says Getting Media for a couple of seconds then Organizer again shuts down with no error message.
In order to get out of this "loop" I have to go to the folder where the offending file was downloaded into and delete it. Then when Organizer restarts and tries to again import it, the file isn't there and Organizer displays that in an error message but continues running.
I've reinstalled Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements 8. The file is playable on the camera and other MTS files created around the same time download/import with no problem.
Any suggestions on how to get that MTS file into Organizer?

Mike is having some trouble posting in this thread (and I am too), but he sent me a PM with what he wanted to say:
OK. I think I might have a positive answer for you.
I was getting lost in the upper ASCII characters you showed. In your test file I never could see any--a case of not seeing the trees for the forest.
Your quote marks are getting dropped in your test file. Now, this may or may not affect other factors but it does in some further testing. I believe ID has an issue with dropping quote marks even in a plain ASCII file if the marks are at the beginning of a sentence and the file is tab delimited. Call it a bug.
Because of all the commas and quote marks in your simple file, I think you should be exporting from Google Docs' spreadsheet as a tab-delimited file. This exported file has to be opened in a text editor capable of saving it out as a UTF-16 BE (Big Endian) type of file.
Also, I think you are going to have to use proper quote marks throughout, or change them in the exported tab-delimited file. Best to have a correct source, though.
Here is your sample ZIPped up. I think it works properly. But then again, I think I might be bleary-eyed by now.

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 ?

Import MTS files and burn AVCHD files to DVD on PRE13

I mean burning to DVD disc

Luis,
Just to clarify one point…in order for Streamclip to convert the MTS I believe a plug-in like the AVCCAM QuickTime importer from Panasonic needs to be installed. (Credit David McClain over at the FCS boards for that info.)
