MTS File Import CS6
I have read through quite a few discussions on this, but I have tried many things and am really stuck right now.
Just finished a 3 camera wedding and the wide locked down cam was a Canon camcorder(Vixia HF M301) shooting 30(60i) AVCHD
When I import the files in the media browser to the project, everything is fine all the way from 00000 - 00035. 00036 is correct, but repeats itself through 00039.
00040 appears to be correct but repeats itself through 00046.
I have tried using media browser and file import methods and also dragging the clips directly onto the timeline. I have tried multiple methods of importing the private folder and directly with the file. The windows directory shows a matching XMP file with every clip which Premiere CS6 doesnt seem to recognize.
I had experienced something like this once on an older Canon camcorder using a hexidecimal file numbering system.
This is the reception section and since this cam ran for all most all of eve, I need it to sync audio with two other cams. I guess an option would be to re-encode providing that media encoder will recognize them correctly,and provided they would match relinking them, if not I am in deep doo-doo.This is a fresh project, and I have even tried to import them into CS5.5 to no avail.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks
Jim after a very long and frustrating day I finally managed to get it to work per your suggestion. I have always been diligent about copying all of the folder structure and making backups with my cards. I shoot GH2's and haven't had to deal with spanned files.
I had read your instructions earlier today while researching, and every attempt I made at getting to the file at the bottom of the directory, the view as AVCHD was grayed out. Just now cleaned the caches and dumped the prefs and made a fresh project, and was able to get view as avchd to work for the first time. Very happy right about now, and looking forward to editing tomorrow! Thanks so much!

MTS files in CS6 Ppro project stopped working and can't be imported anymore
In a project from 2013 (PPro CS6) some of the MTS files stopped working. When I try to relink or replace the footage, I get the message that the file has a unsupported compression type. I never got this message before. About 70% of the MTS files in my project have this, the remaining clips work fine.
Did anyone have this too, or does anyone know a solution?
Thank you in advance for the replies.
Best regards,

(Netherlands)I tried to add the newer TLF swc to FLash CS5 (pointing to it in the library path), but it didn't work.
So, we'll wait till Flash team releases next update.

I have MTS video files that import from a Canon Vixia HF S20 HD camera. I imported into I Movie. They converted into MOV files and I see them in the movies folder in finder. They view fine and run through the events folder in Finder. In I Movie, I created a new project and used a "Theme". The project worked fine at first but then some clips started to freeze and some lost audio. The effected clips are the same in the project library and in the event library, meaning they are froze in both places. As I said when i view through finder the MOV files preview and work fine. Is this inherent to MTS files using in I movie. SHould i consider using a file converter to convert to MOV files prior to importing into I movie.
I found on Apple support site info that states the MTS files can only be imported through the camera. I am developing my back up procedures and now I am faced with backing up in the original MTS files but not being able to reload if necessary into I movie. Any suggestions?I'd like to add that after I import these clips without thumbnails, iMovie does give me an error and say that they could not be imported. No explanation as to why, though. Again, they play fine on my camera.

AME CC 2014 and .mts file import bug?
Had a situation where attempting to open a .mts file by right-clicking and choosing AME 2014 produced an error stating the file couldn't be read, but if I opened AME first and then imported the file, everything worked fine. Anybody else experience this?
I seem to recall the previously, when I imported a file into AME, no preset was applied until I selected one. Is that incorrect?
Or is the correct workflow to select the preset, then import the file?
As it is now, I have one extra step if I happen to not want the preset that was applied on import, I need to delete it - after adding the preset I do want. Seems an odd way to work to me.

AVCHD .mts files imported but optimised files play fast in QT and FCPX 10.1.1
Hi Guys
Panasonic HC-V700 AVCHD .MTS files (from within the 'Stream' folder) imported and optimised into FCPX 10.1.1 but the imported/optimised clips (found in the Transcoded Media>High Quality Media folder) play too fast in QT and FCPX 10.1.1 . Was able to do this fine until yesterday.
Using OSX 10.9.1 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 with just 4GB RAM (hoping to get faster, souped-up new iMac very soon).
When playing the 1080/50p clips on the camera's video player they play at normal speed. Weirdly, today, FCPX has 'acknowledged' the camera on the import window despite the 1080/50p footage (previously it didn't show the camera as a valid import 'archive' on the import screen). Now, on the import window whenever I play a clip it also plays too quick.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Warm regards
PeterWhen attempting to play the .MTS files in import I'm getting the 'dropped frames' error message:
"Issues that may affect playback include available memory, disk speed, graphics performance, and processor performance.
You may be able to get better performance by doing the following:
- Use proxy playback by changing the Media setting to 'Proxy' in the Viewer Options pop-up menu. (Requires proxy media.)
- Optimize your source clip media."
Could the lack of RAM in this iMac actually cause the video to speed up in FCPX? (weird) -

How do I save individual edited MTS files in CS6
how do I save individual edited MTS files in CS6
Set the work area on the timeline to the limits of the clip that you want to export. Then File>Export>Media.
You need to consider what the exported file is intended for, so you can determine a suitable format and preset for the export. -
Hey everyone, first post, and I have a question. I searched and I couldn't find an answer for this.
I'm filming on a canon hf200 (class 4 sdhc card--if that makes any difference). I'm filming at 24Mbps on the 60i setting, but when I import in to Premiere, the footage gets imported at 29.97FPS. For my sequence settings, I'm selecting desktop, then 59.94 FPS (since I could not find an AVCHD setting with 60fps), and the clips are still not imported as 60 (or 59.94) FPS. Am I missing something? Settings not right? Have to convert to get 60FPS? Any help will be appreciated!24Mbps on the 60i setting
It's unfortunate that camera makers cause this confusion. The proper nomenclature is to only list frame rates, never the field rate. Sometime people violate that convention and mistakenly list the field rate instead, causing this type of confusion.
Your camera should be labeling the mode as 30i, because that's what it is, 30 interlaced frames per second. -
I upgraded to CS6 on my editing machine from CS5. When I import an MTS file into CS6 and play it back on the timeline the playback drops frames and the sync between video and audio lags and drops out. I can do the exact same thing with the exact same clip in CS5 and everything plays back fine. I have the exact same seq settings in both. Playback is through Black Magic video card version 7.5.5 Anyone have a clue what the problem is?
See if this applies to you...

Hi Everyone-
I just shot a short doc on the Panasonic GH2. I have all the .mts files imported into Premiere CS6 on a MacBook Pro. I have 16GB of RAM and the files are on a Thunderbolt drive. These files will not play back in real time, even when putting them on 1/4 resolution. I am not sure what I'm doing wrong. Also some of the files loaded, then went offline and now when I try to re-import them, I am getting a Premiere import general error. Any thoughts? I also tried to wrap the files using one of the many wrapper programs out there before importing, but I lost sound when I did that and I need sound for sync purposes. Any help would be great. I edited a video with Nikon MTS files a year ago that worked perfectly on this system. I am really at a loss and on a deadline. Thanks!astanuga wrote:

Photorec's interface is a Mac User's nightmare, indeed, because it is a Terminal.app only ... but free.
I did use it once, I deleted a file in camera - after pushing 'yes - erase it', I realized I deleted a very nice smile on that track.
so, in my case, the original SDcard existed, I immediately got it out the cam and let Photorec directly from card did its job.
only advice from here: use the original SDcard, no copies, no trashbins, no ... whatever. then you have a high chance.

Premiere Pro CS6: No sound importing .mts files
Hey,
My Setup:
- Adobe Premiere Pro CS6
- Windows 7 x64
My Problem:
I bought a DLSM (Panasonic Lumix G6H) and recorded five hours of footage using AVCHD 50p. I imported the .mts files into Premiere and got no sound at all. Whenever I open the .mts with VLC or WMP there is sound.
I spent numerous hours trying to find a solution for this problem, but unfortunately none of them worked for me.
At this point I'm quite frustrated, I NEVER create accounts to ask questions, because usually they are answered - but this time i couldnt manage to overcome this issue.
I already tried:
1) Copy the entire folder structure - didnt work
2) Rename the .mts to .m2ts - didnt work
3) Using the Media-Browser when importing the files - didnt work
4) Rename it to .avi - didnt work
5) Downloaded "Any Video Converter" as my last resort.. there is no option for 50p .m2ts (which might work) - not satisfyingMore information needed for someone to help... please click below and provide the requested information

I am not being able to play sound when I import a .MTS file from my folder
I am not being able to play sound when I import a .MTS file from my folder on my sequence bar of my Premiere Pro CS6. Even if I use my Media Browser to import the file, the video plays fine, but the audio is disabled it seems. I don't know what to do since I have used .MTS files before without hassle on CS5.5. It is quite frustrating. What can I do?
Hi debesh05,
Please mention the Operating System that you are using and also make and model of the Camera that was used to capture those clips. Also, try to make another folder with the same name in the same location where the .MTS files are and move all the clips into the new folder and then try to import the files again using Media Browser in Premiere Pro CS6. If this doesn't work then make a copy of one file and rename it as .M2TS and then import that single file into Premiere Pro CS6. Please update if either of the solution works for you.

Why can't I import audio content from a Pana LX5 MTS file?
Hi,
Awesome as the new video capability is in CS6 (the ability to add image filters is to die for!), I have encountered a problem.
I can import the video component from a Panasonic LX5 .MTS AVCHD Lite video file. But the audio isn't included and I can't bring the audio content into an audio track by importing separately.
When I import H264 .MOV, taken with my Canon 7D, audio is included in the video import and I can also import audio from another, similar file to an audio track.
Is there some special trick involved with AVCHD Lite format video? Has anyone else succeeded in importing audio from an .MTS file?
Kind regards,
Joachim Smith

SwedenYou aren't the only person: also fails for me, Windows 7 64-bit. Audio doesn't play in CS6 Bridge either, although audio plays in Windows Media, so I assume system has correct codec installed.
I think this might be a bug, here is a .mts file for others (or Adobe) to test with: http://www.newae.com/00012.MTS -
Forgive for bad English. I hope, the thought is clear. I got OEM Production Premium CS6 with MXO2 mini. I received a problem known for all... My problems when playing AVCHD MTS were solved by program converter installation, in fact, additional codecs. Now everything "flies"!

Audio not importing from MTS files
I have AME CS6, and when I import an MTS video, the audio does not get included for some reason.
After installing AME CC, when I import the same MTS file, the audio does get included.
Does anyone know how to correct this in AME CS6?
First image is from AME CS6:
This image is from AME CC:Changing the Import method can sometimes resolve these types of issues. With any of the "memory card" cameras, important to use this method -
1) Copy ENTIRE contents of SD card to your hard drive, all folders intact (do not use "transfer utility/conversion" software)
2) In Premiere, use the MEDIA BROWSER to find and import media (usually tabbed at lower left side of Premiere interface).
Hope this helps.
