M2ts File Audio Editing Problems (CS5.5)

I am relatively new to CS5.5 and more than bit puzzled at not being able to highlight the 5.1 audio track of m2ts files in order to carry out any audio correction (such as Parametric EQ). It is also not possible to cary out J & L cuts either, for the same reason.
I have had no problems doing this with AVI files, but have noted a post dated 2009 (which I assume applied to CS4), where no editing could be performed on m2ts files, unless they were demuxed first, as only the AC3 sream couild be edited.
Can anyone suggest what I am overlooking? Even the basic Pinnacle Studio 15 can edit m2ts audio and I find it hard to believe that it is still neccessary to demux these files for CS5.5..

That worked perfectly OK, as long as I dropped the audio into an unused 5.1 track. If I dropped it into Track 1, where everthing els is, it locked up as before.
However, this lead me to the solution: It appears that some sort of bug occured when I used 'Automate to Sequence' to populate the timeline, as the entire 5.1 audio Track 1 in the project is corrupted.
Restarting afresh with a new project cleared the problem.
I suppose it is 'Sods Law' that this had to happen the very first time I have tried editing m2ts media!!
That you for your interest and replies

Importing m2ts files but having problems with the audio layer

Hi all, I'm new to the whole video editing side of things and so would appreciate some help.
I've just bought myself a Canon HF200 HD camcorder, and a Sony Vaio notebook which came with Premiere Elements 7.0 pre-installed.
For the last month I've been shooting footage, and just getting down to trying to edit everything and put a DVD together.
The problem I have at the moment (and I've just started using the program, so everything is new to me) is that while I seem to be able to import the m2ts file format that my Canon records, only the video is imported into Premiere - not the audio.
I can play all my videos in Windows Media Player just fine, with both video and audio. So it seems my machine is able to read the files correctly in this program. However, the audio seems to drop out when I import the file into Premiere. The program was pre-installed in my machine, and when I go in to have a look at the audio settings, there doesn't seem to be an ability to change the settings to something different.
So far I've spent a long time googling and trying to find a solution, but with no joy just yet.
Appreciate any assistance the anyone can offer.
Thanks.
Jeff

Hi there
I think I sorted it. If you look at the Premiere Pro forum, on the right is a box with a link to "Forum Best Practices".
Click the image below for larger view.
Being a good first time poster, you read that. But the problem is, it places you inside the Forum Comments forum. So when you choose to Create a Discussion, you aren't creating the discussion in the Premiere Pro forum. Instead, you are creating it in the Forum Comments forum.
Looks like perhaps a forum mod needs to work on this and create a duplicate thread in the forums in question.
Cheers... Rick

CS3 is making my m2t files audio go out of sync upon import

I am using a Matrox Axio LE running Premiere Pro CS3.
I'm using a Focus enhancements DR-HD100 to record in 720p 59.94 in m2t file format. After importing the clips into CS3 the video and audio is sometimes out of sync by 7-12 frames. It seems to happen with varied lengths of projects and there is no way to tell exactly when the video will go out of sync with the video.
After speaking with Techs at Focus I have run a couple tests and I don't think that anything is wrong with my DR-HD100s. I can play the same m2t clips that are out of sync in Premiere Pro CS3 in Power DVD and they play back fine. No issues with sync. It appears that Premiere Pro is doing something with the clips upon import that is messing with the sync.
Any Ideas?

Here are a couple of thoughts:
1.) can you disconnect the Matrox and test the files in a non-Matrox Project? Any better?
2.) as PrPro can have issues with MPEG files, can you Export as a DV-AVI (or similar) from your DR-HD100? Any better?
3.) can you demux your files into elemental streams and Import these separately?
4.) is your OOS issue constant, over the course of a Clip, or does it drift? Constant can be easily fixed in PrPro, by turning Snap OFF, then Alt-clicking the Audio only, and nudging it along the Timeline. Once done, the Audio and Video will be re-linked. Rember to turn Snap back ON. If it drifts, you may need to Razor the Clips and work on the resulting parts separately, as stated before.
5.) have you tried Render/Replace for the Audio? This will get you a WAV file. Is that any better?
Good luck,
Hunt

Audio Editing Problem- Help!

I've been having problems with audio editing in iBooks Author.
I edit a track I'm using across a text, editing just the portion I want played, and it all works fine in the program, when I move it over to iPad for testing, it won't play the right part I've confirmed is working fine in the program itself, instead it seems to revert in every audio link to the last portion I put into a link.
Hope this makese sense.

I'm not sure your problem is exactly like mine, but it pertains to placing the audio in a widget in ITA (itunes author).
The issue to look out for is we took our video and audio clips into our layouts to publish and apple validator rejects the audio clip saying the "audio is outside of the widget." and creates an error code. It seems to accept the video fine, but the AAC clip has been run through QT, or iTunes or Compressor and we still get the same error code. I' thinking there's a bug. So ours runs fine on the ipad, but won't validate. Like I said, maybe not your same issue, but the audio in a widget is a little buggy unless I'm overlooking something. Let us know how you work your problem out.

How to convert InDesign CS2 files for editing in CS5 (win)

We are a small publishing company with several top-selling language products. I need to revision a title which was published 10 years ago. The files are CS2 and I cannot open them in CS5. Seem Adobe doesn't offer any conversion utility. It seem I need to open them in CS3 then save and use CS4 to convert from CS3 to CS4, then I can use CS5. But I cannot find CS3 for sale anywhere. So I'm screwed. Please offer a file conversion service. It's just code! you can run the old versions on virtualized servers and charge $500 per file. I'll pay! I'm totally screwed. We have to recreate the entire book from scratch. I used to be an Adobe promoter, but now I'm a detractor. this is horrible.
Does anyone have old versions around could be used to get this job done?
Cheers!

OK this is seriously messed up. I just spent the day installing trial versions of InDesign CS3 and CS4 (on a Windows Virtual PC running Windows XP) and converted my files from CS2 to CS3, then C3 to CS4. But when I try to open in CS5, they still crash InDesign CS5! Something is corrupt or incompatible with InDesign CS5 even though they opened in CS3 and CS4. wtf.
Guess I'll just have to edit in CS4 and give up on bring these files any closer to the modern world? Any other ideas?
crash on open

IMovie- Audio Editing Problems

Basically here is the situation. When i click on a video in my project and then click adjust audio. I do not get the adjust audio pop-up but just the skimming line over my video with a red dot in the center of the skimming line. I have tried restarting iMovie and removing the video and then inserting it again. However time an time again iMovie will not let me adjust the audio on my video. I have got to the point of pulling my hair out over this issue. *PLEASE HELP!!*

The next thing I'd try is quitting iMovie.
Then move this file to your desktop
User>Library>Preferences>com.apple.imovie7.plist
Now restart iMovie and see if you can get the Audio and Video adjustment windows to show.

DTS HD audio is missing from .m2ts file

I am learning how to use Premiere Pro by extracting the musical numbers from a commercial blu-ray disk (which I purchased). The master .m2ts files are fine, playing nicely in the appropriate player. The .m2ts file audio is encoded with DTS HD-MA. However when I bring the .m2ts file into Premiere Pro or Encore CS5 there is no audio. In the browser by the thumbnail I see the video described (1920 x 1080 (1.0), 23.976 fps, but there is no audio description. Playing the preview I see the video without any audio. I'm using a 12 cpu MacPro August 2010, 48 gb ram.
One possibility might be that I am lacking DTS-HD support. However I was hoping that there might be some way to simply extract the clip from the master .m2ts file with the original audio, and then generate a new file just copying the master audio track (clipped), without processing.
My goal is to transfer the clips to a PS3 in order to play the clips with the original audio bitrate (4-5 mbps). Is this possible? Unfortunately the PS3 has the same problem, it also plays the .m2ts file without the audio.

Better use material you shot yourself, or get the original material from the copyright owner. As you noticed DTS is not supported, but the company that has given you (written) permission to edit their material may have the audio in an editable format.

What's hardware should upgrade for Using Premiere CS4 to editing (AVCHD)m2ts file?

What's hardware or software should upgrade for Using Premiere CS4 to editing (AVCHD)m2ts file?
1st question: when i try to do editing by using Premiere CS4 AVCHD sequence timeline, the edting monitor seems not smooth (like wearing goggles) & delay, and when i use AME to encode m2ts file (which not yet edit) to AVI file (about 1 hour), it take 2h 13min to finish, is it normal?
2nd question: i use mpeg2 HD 1440 file to do eding, the edting monitor also not very smooth but better than using m2ts file, after editing done, i try to encode these mpeg2 HD 1440 file (which edited about long 1 hr) to a New file mpeg2 1440 X 1080i HQ or even mpeg2 Pal DV HQ file, the encoding was not runthe encoding after wait for half an hour. How many hours it take usually????
3rd question: i use m2ts file video file to export as a Bitmap, 1 frame 1 picture bitmap, it take long time too, about 1 or 2min to finish encoding, if i export more than 1 picture, it take even more time, i have experienced it, 3 or 4 pictures need about 10 or 15 min to finish encoding. i used to using mpeg2 HD 1440 file (which edited file) to export frame as picture, it not run the encoding at all. WHY ????
i'm new in Premiere CS4,so i got many question about Premiere CS4, usually i use Premiere Pro 1.5 version
my computer is: Intel (R) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU
                         E7400 @ 2.80 GHz

                        2 Hard Disks in my computer (C Drive is 300 GB (not sata) , D Drive is 500 GB sata)
4th Question: Premiere CS5 & Premiere CS4 which one is better ???
5th Question: What's different ATI Radeon and NVIDIA Card, which is better, which u suggest to. What is different Graphic Card and Video Card ?? Should i install HD Video Card ????

I don't think a core-2 will work very well with AVCHD... you need at least an Intel i7 920... or whatever is current
My CS5/AVCHD 1st Impressions http://forums.adobe.com/thread/652694?tstart=0 includes a link to the computer I built... since the GTX 285 is no longer sold, I would now go with a GTX 460 or whatever is the current "best bang for the buck" - AND I would buy 4Gig-by-3Sticks memory to be able to expand from 12Gig to 24Gig if needed
For my home hobbyist, family movies (which means that I am not trying to recreate Star Wars with video effects or many layers) AVCHD editing is "as smooth as spreading warm butter on hot toast" (also the MP4 video from wife's Flip camera)
My 3 hard drives are configured as...

Can anyone explain how I go from a Sony HD camcorder .m2ts file to viewing the video in HD on either DVD or Blu-Ray?

I have recently started to edit footage taken on a Sony HD Camcorder using iMove 11.
Uploading the .m2ts file was no problem straight from the camera to iMovie, but I (stupidly) assumed that I could burn an HD DVD from iMovie/iDVD to view on a DVD player. I've done a bit of internet research to find out why the quality of the DVD is so bad i.e. SD rather than HD and I think I understand it. Just.
Further searching to find out our to convert AVCHD/.m2ts to either HD DVD or Blu-ray has boiled my brain. So much stuff I read was a couple of years old so I wasn't sure what is possible.
Can anyone tell me how I get to the point where I can upload the .m2ts to the iMac, edit the footage and burn a Blu-Ray or HD DVD?
Cheers!

Booted the Mac this morning and it now works. I tried Alchroma's solution but whether the stereo is Plain or Matrix, it works both ways. I don't think that this was the solution as a result, but thanks for the suggestion. To confirm, my Easy set up is HD / AVCHD Apple 1920 x1080i60, the only thing I can think I did differently compared to yesterday is that I shut my Mac down having changed the Easy setup. Previously, I only changed the easy setup then closed FCE4 down.

Has anyone here had experience with a Sony NEX-VG10/E m2ts file?

A recently created file with this video camera, and importing its m2ts file into Permiere Pro CS5 is proving offering disappointing rsults. The images are fuzzy and there is a great deal of what appears to be interlace issues. If it were not for other programs playing these files very clearly I would dismiss them as coming from an inferior camera.
Is there anyone here who has had experience with these files and editing them in PPCS5?
The file in question is shown as being a "File type: TS(AVC) Format" and the "Image size is 1440 x 1080"
Hoping to hear from someone.
Cheers,
Michael

Thank you
Forgot all about that one - i.e. Playback - Full Resolution

Audio Problems with .m2t files

Running Pr 5.0.3
I have been shooting HDV on my Canon XH-A1 camcorder and recording the video on my Focus FS-H200.
The resule is several large .m2t files that I copy to my PC's hard disc.
When I import them to Pr all the video is there but some files no sound and some have no sound at the end of the track
Why?

when I play it with QT i can hear both channels. Any
idea how I can slove this problem?
Both channels meaning right and left? Whether or not it's a mono or stereo audio stream, They both count as one track.

Problems importing m2ts file in AE CS5.5 trial

I cannot open projects containing m2ts videos, I also cannot import m2ts files into AE 5.5
Any ideas? I have unistalled and deleted all my preferences with no luck.

Any other version of AE on the system? If so, the relevant MPEG CoDecs might be tied to that version and CS5.5 incorrectly resort to those. short of deactivating the other version and reinstalling CS5.5 once more I can't see a way to fix this...

Premiere CC 2014 won't recognise .m2ts files from project editied in CS5.5

Hi,
I'm trying to open a project I edited in Premiere CS5.5, but CC 2014 tells me .m2ts files aren't a 'supported compression type'.
They worked in CS5.5, why not now? All are Dolby rather than LCPM audio, shot with a Sony NX70 camera or an FS100.
Can you give me any alternative import workflow (that doesn't involve transcoding everything, and rebuilding clip by clip, preferably:-)! )
cheers

(16 year professional broadcast Premiere veteran!) (now going a bit mad...)

Well.... sort of... I was having a problem with old projects not recognising the .m2TS or .MTS files, and the same with importing to new projects. It seems to have disappeared with the last update, but now I have an issue with these files and with .MP4 files from my Canon XA20 either not dropping audio onto the timeline, or dropping audio but not the vision track. The workaround is to right click on the file and change the audio properties to 'adaptive'. Sometimes I have to set the interpret video setting to interlaced, upper field dominant, as premiere is occasionally seeing the files as progressive... and I only ever shoot interlaced. Weirdness.
Once I do this, the files happily insert on the timeline.

Problems capturing the sound layer when importing m2ts files

Hi all, I'm new to the whole video editing side of things and so would appreciate some help.
I've just acquired a Canon HF200 HD camcorder, and a Sony Vaio notebook which came with Premiere Elements 7.0 pre-installed.
For the last month I've been shooting footage, and just getting down to trying to edit everything and put a DVD together.
The problem I have at the moment (and I've just started using the program, so everything is new to me) is that while I seem to be able to import the m2ts file format in which my camera records, only the video is imported into Premiere - not the audio (it reads the file ok, and no errors appear, but when I go to review the footage there is video but no sound).
I can play all my videos in Windows Media Player just fine, with both video and audio. So it seems my machine is able to read the files correctly in this program. However, the audio seems to drop out when I import the file into Premiere.

So far I've spent a long time googling and trying to find a solution, but with no joy just yet.
Appreciate any assistance the anyone can offer. Is there just a simple setting that I need to change? Or do I need to somehow convert the files into another format before Elements 7.0 can read them?
Thanks.
Jeff

the machine I have seems to comply with the specs required by PE7 (and given that it came with PE7 pre-installed that should be the case).
There are two things to consider:
1.) editing most footage, especially SD material
2.) editing AVCHD, currently the most demanding of all common video formats to edit. This is what you have.
Now, when you launch PrE, you get a splash screen. There you can Open New (create a new Project), Open an existing Project that has been opened recently, or Open a Project by navigating to it. One can also Exit.
In your case, you will go to New and when that dialog box opens, choose the Preset for AVCHD w/ DD 5.1 SS Audio.
Also note, that when in the Edit Mode, there are two View Modes (accessed via two icons to the left of the lower Panel), Timeline View Mode and Sceneline View Mode. For DD 5.1 SS Audio Clips, you will find Timeline View Mode to be the best. Now, you can switch back and forth, but Timeline View Mode will give you infinite control. It is the view that most editing programs use, and that most editors use.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - I strongly recommend Steve Grisetti's book, The Muvipix.com Guide to Adobe Premiere Elements 7.

Importing HDV files (.m2t) no audio in timeline (or sound gaps in audio file) ONLY IN CS6 !

After importing HDV files, wait for conforming, and drop the files to sequence, on some files there is no audio at all or partial audio.
All files played OK in any mediaplayer.
I have no such problems in CS5 or 5.5 using the same files in the same project and sequence type. HDV 1080i/25
I reinstall PR CS6 and I delete all ".cfa" and ".pek" files, but no success.

All right so what I just discover so far in order to resolve this non sense bug thing, I've exported the faulted sequence in EDL, track by track.
On the original sequence, I had a Prores 422 video clip name "Clip 497" that was manually sync with an audio file call "Audio 10".
At another timecode in the original timeline, I had a h264 clip name "MVI_0050" that was synced with an audio file call "Tascam_0455".
I said that when I select only an audio file in the timeline and I make reveal in the project, it links me to the correct audio file in the bin but when I make match frame or reveal in the finder, it links the audio to a video file. The
Well the EDL just confirmed that, in the timeline created by the EDL, I have to relink manually all the files (wich is a pain in...) and my mysterious audio file "Audio 10" appears with the name "MVI_0050", I can still link it to the original "Audio 10" but I don't understand HOW an audio get to be linked to a video file......
The audio file coming from the Tascam still have their original names in the timeline.
Very weird and not very cool.
Oh and guess what, after closing Premiere and re open it, my sequence coming from the EDL where I spent 1 hours to manually relink the media....does not have sound anymore.......................
