No audio with AVCHD.mts in Element 7

I cannot get audio when importing AVCHD.MTS files into Elements 7. I am running on Windows 7. From Forum it seems the best fix for this is upgrade to Elements 9. Can someone gurantee this is the way to go?

PRE9 can natively work with AVCHD files, but there are still posts to this forum from users not getting their audio working. Your best bet is to download the trial version and see if it works with your files.

No audio with avchd clips

Hi,
My video camera produces .mts files - avchd.
Wanting a good editor I downloaded a Trial version of Premiere Pro CC , BUT no matter
what I tried - including many suggestions from on line users- could not get audio with any
of my clips. Prelude was able to "ingest" the clips with audio BUT whenever I exported them to PP
they were unrecognizable by PP.
Cannot seem to get any definite answer from any authority in Adobe. Is this problem insoluble?
I would like to buy into PP CC but not if it cannot handle the files my Panasonic camcorder produces
whats the point? Also transcoding .mts files into another format ( which works with PP ! ) reduces the
quality and is not acceptable.
Anybody know the answer?

Audio is at times the bane of the video editing side of things. There's been holy Hades raised here at times over the way PrPro does ... or really, doesn't ... handle "extended" audio channels as they would seem to be logically best handled. And the comments that some other programs handle X part of this easier. At which point there's oft a comment that yea, that be the case but that other program handles Y part of the audio process like a truly crashed turkey.
It seems to me the point is that perhaps none of the editing apps are where they should be for treating the audio part as seriously as the video. There've been comments and blogs from Adobe that this is why they have Audition, to handle all the audio stuff. But to many of us the way that Audition & PrPro work is not as "transparent" as we need it to be. Audition normally overwrites original files unless you purposely save-as. PrPro never over-writes original footage files. A few people have been caught by trying something in Audition ... without save-as-ing, and unfortunately without proper back-up, and ruined their audio. With no way back. Unfortunate, but in the differences in the two program's methodology, this is bound to happen at some time to almost anyone. "You should have known what you were doing before you did it" ... yea, true ... but in a hurry under deadlines, well ... baaaad things happen. Especially when one gets used to a HUGE "feature" of the Adobe video apps: non-destructive editing. Oh, sorry, Audition is a wee bit different. People need to know that!
And ... yea, setting up PrPro for 5.1 or 7.1 is entirely possible ... IF you know exactly what to set in preferences (which is not explained clearly for those who aren't already knowledgeable) AND how to move things about on your tracks in a sequence. So some of the experienced people feel it's not THAT hard a deal ... deal with it and move on. For noobs to the scheme of this, it can be completely un-penetrable.
Hope you get this nailed ... and there are some wonderful people around here that know those settings and when they do pop in can give so much help ...

No Audio with Video in Photoshop Elements

Some videos such as MVI do have the audio when I add the video to Photoshop Elements slideshow project. There is no audio on 99.9% of the videos (AVCHD Videos .MTS files) obtained from my JVC camcorder and added to the same Photoshop Elements slideshow project. Why one video had sound after being added to Photoshop Elements, I do not know. However, when I open these same videos from my Windows explorer, they play with sound just fine.
OS: Windows 7
Dell laptop purchased June 2010
Internet Explorer 64-bit

There is limited support for video in PSE. The PSE/PRE combo gives the best input/output options including export to h.264, mobile devices, mp4 and burning DVD’s.

No audio with AVCHD with Premiere Pro CC

This seems to be a common problem but I have yet to find a solution. Like others out there, I can import the video from my Sony camcorder just fine but there is no audio (neither stereo or 5.1). I have tried importing and using the Media Browser. I have tried copying just the .mts files and also the entire folder structure. Nothing works.
Here's the kicker. The files import just fine in CS6 but not in CC. Not sure why one works but not the other. Its because of bugs like this that I always keep the other version on my HDD for insurance purposes.
Any idea what I should do?
BTW, this is on Windows7.

Problem working with avchd/.mts videos

I have to edit a video from several .mts clips. I don't know what camera was used for the shots. My problem is whenever I try to play them in either windows media player or gom player or bs player or splash (designed for HD videos), or edit them in After Effects, I get this strange screen tearing. I have tried to convert it into .mp4 (h264), but the problem persists. I uploaded it to youtube to test it out ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTfCP-o9RiY ), but the screen tearing occurs here also as you can see.
Does this mean that the footage is corrupt from the beginning and there is no way to fix it? The strange thing is that the guy who gave me these said he had these tearings also, but when another guy edited another video from these clips, it played without tearing, so it's not the camera's fault, it can be fixed. But if so, then how?

It is an unmodified clip without any conversion, it's what I got from my friend. It's avchd in an .mts container I believe. So the tearing is the fault of the recording and it is unrepairable? I will try to contact that guy, the problem is that I don't know him personally. Maybe he used clips which aren't tearing, and only some of the clips are corrupt like the one I uploaded, can that be the case?
Also, if needed, here is an unmodified, native copy of one of the problematic clips: 00134.MTS - Google Drive

AME-o Audio recognized for .mts files

Really drives me crazy.
I am sure there is audio with this .mts file. But AME cann't recognize it. No issues for video clips in other format.
My AME version 6.0.0.382 (64-bit). And the source file here. Pls help
http://youtu.be/6RXcFHpNWUU

I am having a similar problem: trying to ingest Sony HXR-NX5E .mts- files, and cannot get the audio. Plays with VLC-player. Log file shows the error message:
Dolby Audio Decode Licensing Restriction for /Volumes/NO NAME/PRIVATE/AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM/00034.MTS
This installation does not have a license to decode Dolby Digital audio.
Updated to latest versions yesterday.
Trying to avoid the problem by setting the audio to PCM in camera, but I would be pleased to see issue fixed.

Sony AVCHD (MTS) shimmering lines issue (moire? aliasing?)

I have just started working with AVCHD / MTS source files (29.997 fps, 1080p) and have been experiencing a problem with shimmering straight horizontal or diagonal lines. The source files look fine, but upon exporting / converting to a common format for veiwing (e.g. H.264, MPEG2, FLV, etc), any detail in frame consisting of high contrast straight lines or sharp edges exhibit shimmering. High contrast horizontal lines and diagonal lines are the most problematic, though even the sharp, high contrast edges of lettering on placecards (panel discussion) have the same shimmering issue. Also, the shimmering appears as a change in brightness, i.e. light to dark, at a frequency of about 2 Hertz, though the frequency can vary slightly. I have tried converting from AVCHD / MTS to nearly every available export format available, tried all of the different frame rates available, and have tried using other available attribute variations, e.g. Profile, Level, Bitrate Encoding, Target Bitrate, Max Bitrate, Render at Max Depth, Max Render Quality, Frame Blending, etc.
Perhaps there is some format selection that needs to be changed in camera in order to avoid this issue in the future?
I will research further, but presently have no idea as to what can be done to solve the issue. :-P

What are your Sequence settings?
Are you certain that they exactly match your footage?
...common format for viewing (e.g. H.264, MPEG2, FLV, etc),
These are all compressed export formats... it might help to
elaborate on exactly what settings you have used in these cases.
Have you tried exporting to something 'lossless'?
If yes, do you still see the artifacts?
How are you viewing your exported video to judge quality?
Have you tried re-importing your exported file into Premiere
for side-by-side comparison with the original footage?
You might post 'before' and 'after' images to illustrate your issue.

Projects settings for AVCHD MTS files in Adobe Premiere Elements 8

Hello,
I have read several discussions already, about importing AVCHD MTS file in Adobe Elements (version 8), but I'm also confused a littlebit, so I would like to confirm if I'm correct.
FYI, I have a Canon Legria HFR26 camera and am using Adobe Premiere Elements 8 (with the latest updates installed).
According to the specs in the Canon instruction manual:
Videos are recorded in high definition using AVCHD specifications
(MPEG-4/H.264 compression).
Audio compression: Dolby Digital 2ch
The camera supports making video's in different format, but I have done it in the default SP format, which results in a resolution of 1440x1080 (50 fields per second, interlaced).
I have copied the video from the camera to my harddisk, and Windows also mentions the video's as AVCHD of 1440x1080 (Bitrate 7672kbps).
The frame rate is 25 frames/second. I assume this is correct for 50i?
So, when I import my video's into Adobe Elements 8, I select the following projects settings:
PAL, AVCHD, HD 1080i 25
Because the description matches my video files:
- For editing with 1440x1080i AVCHD camcorders.
- 16:9 interlaced HD video at 25 frames per second.
- 48kHz audio.
The video's are imported correctly and I can play them. However, as soon as I drop a video on the timeline, Adobe immediately starts background rendering the video (a red line appears on the timeline).
What I understand from some discussions, is that this shouldn't happen, because the video format doesn't match the project settings. On the other hand, I have also read that for Adobe Elements 8 this is normal behaviour and it always start background rendering AVCHD video's.
Is this expected behaviour or should I chance my projects settings or maybe even convert my video files to a different format?
Thanks,
Michiel

The ability to work natively with AVCHD files was not added until version 10, Michiel. So you'll still have to render while you work in version 8.

Combine avi with Avchd files in Premiere elements 10

I am trying to make a DVD using clips that were taken with my old camcorder which was DV, and using clips from my new camcorder which is AVCHD. Premiere elements 10 lets me do this, but it appears that my HD files are not the same quality as what I see just looking at the clip with the camera directly hooked to the TV. A dialouge box comes up and states when I bring the DV clips into the project that it will reduce the quality to standard definition. Is there a way to combine these types of files in the same project and keep the HD quality of the new clips?

You are already spoilt by seeing your HD stuff!
I think you will find that the normal old standard DVD player never showed the full capability that stadard def was capable of. You had to get a $1000 player to see it as it really is. So it was never quite as good as component video straight from the camera or seeing it captured on your computer.
Good Blue Ray players play old DVD much better because they are getting everything off the disk that it is capable of.
BlueRay will overtake DVD in the reasonable near future like DVD overtook VCRs so you should make a Blue Ray disk for the future. If other viewers still need DVD you can make a DVD from the HD project.
To make a Blue Ray--
Buy and install a Blue Ray burner in your computer (less than $100)
Setup as a FullHD project 1920x1080 25frames interlaced (or 30 for USA)
Import both clips where you want them. AVI and AVCHD mix well
Sharpening the avi clips a little helps make up for the loss in resolution
Share to a Blue REay disk (make sure the blank disk is fast enough for the burner because Adobe burns only at full speed. If using slower disks then share as a file and use another program to burn the disk (see other posts on this)
To make a DVD (before you buy the BD burner), make anopther copy of your projrct and add about 20% sharpening and share the above project to DVD. It looks a bit poor on your TV but will look pretty well as good as an original DVD made form the AVI clips when viewed on your TV
To make a DVD only, first convert the AVCHD to AVI and sharpen them then make a normal DVD project as everything will now be AVI. The origimnal AVI clips will be better but the HD will obviously be only one quarter of the resolution.
I recently made such a DVD from my Sony $1000 FullHD camera and the DVD copy when played on my Pioneer Blue Ray player on the TV was just as good as old DVDs made with my previous Sony $1800 Widescreen SD camera. The Blue Ray copy of course was brilliant!
The amout of sharpening involves personal preference and depends on how sharp the original material is.
People wilth good eyesight might see it as oversharpening whereas it can look great to those less foertunate or old people not wearing their glasses!
While they may have a reasonable resolution for file detail, some HD cameras dont have a good "depth of resolution" at mid frequencies that represent the upper limit of fine detail for SD cameras. When downsized to SD, the picture from the HD camera can actually be fuzzier than an old SD camera that was tweaked up to look sharp on an old TV.
So you have to add this extra tweaking to comnpensate (a bit like turing up the audio treble control to hear the snare drums on a portable radio)
If destined for viewing on a TV set, the limit of sharpening is where the edges of objects start to crinkle excessively or the video noise becomes excessive. This should be evaluated only on the TV where it will finally be shown and at the TV viewing distance (not on a computer and not too close up)
To avoid wasting blank disks you can make a test disk of the same few scenes with different amounts of sharpening. Try a long shot, mid shot and closeup as the subjecvt material also influences the eye's perception of sharpness.

Premiere Elements 9.0 no sound with AVCHD

Hi all I'm trying to work with a new camera that I bought (primarily for stills, but the HD video is so good I'd like to use with prelements) which is the Panasonic Lumix FZ35 U.S model but when adding a AVCHD file form the camera on to PC and then into elements the video looks fine but there is no sound channel.
I've tried changing the extension to the file (.MOV) but the same problem remains.
I can switch the recording format to Motion Jpeg but the files are huge and vastly reduce my recording time
I'm wanting to know if A) these files can be easily imported into PE or B) if there is a way of converting (hopefully not a lengthy process) and how best to do it without loss of quality.
Any help or advice on this would be great.
Thanks in advance
Jon

It looks like that camera records in AVCHD Lite, and that the Audio is recorded with DD Stereo processing, and I would guess that it uses a single mic, but processes the Audio to simulated stereo. What I could NOT find from the specs. page, was exactly what format/CODEC is used for the Audio stream. I can only guess that it is DD AC3, which should Import fine into PrE. May be that I just missed the Audio spec.
What Project Preset did you choose?
With AVCHD (and possibly AVCHD Lite), one should have the choice of either stereo, or DD 5.1 SS. In this case, I would choose the stereo option.
When you Imported the footage, did you wait for PrE to Conform the Audio fully? This ARTICLE will give you some background and some tips.
Also, there are a couple of things to consider with Audio.
Can you hear Audio in other programs?
Can you hear Audio in PrE with other source files?
Can you see the Audio portion of the Clip, in an Audio Track in PrE? Note, depending on how one has set up the Project, one may have to use the Scroll Bars to find this, when in Timeline View Mode. The Scroll bars are to the far-right of the Timeline Panel, and are not easy to see.
Let us know about your Project Preset and the Conforming process. Then let us know about the general Audio on the system and in PrE. This ARTICLE will give you some things to check out, but those will depend on the answers to those general Audio questions.
Good luck,
Hunt

No audio track with AVCHD files (shot on Panasonic HMC-70)

I've read quite a few treads and cannot figure this out. I have a standalone version of Premiere CC 7.0.0 (342) installed in my computer lab at school.
I tested the software with a creative cloud trial and AVCHD files worked fine.
This version does not show audio tracks in files dragged in from Media Browser (as suggested here: Audio and Video glitches | AVCHD footage)
It also will not import/transcode audio with Prelude or Media Encoder. Video works fine.
I have FCPX and Compressor installed. Both playback/transcode the file with no issue. Is there a solution for Premiere/Prelude/Encoder?

I tried renaming the folders, like all of them.
Not working.
The file path looks like this: Card:private/AVCHD (show package contents)/BDMV (show package contents)/STREAM/00000.MTS
I would think there would be a native format in Premiere for popular Panasonic cameras.

Audio component not apearing when importing AVCHD .MTS files

When importing AVCHD .MTS files into Premiere Pro the Audio component is not available (also in After Effects and Media Encoder)
What am I doing wrong :/

You could most likely convert them using a program like 5DTORGB, and then pull them back into Premiere. Although there is a chance this won't work, however in most cases I find it usually does work. Just be prepared to lose your metadata.
If your on a PC I'd recommend downloading their beta version it will allow you to transcode your AVCHD to ProRes HQ.
http://rarevision.com/5dtorgb/
All you have to is provide them a correct email address and they'll send you a download link. When you transcode though keep in mind that it's going to make your file sizes much much larger, however this because ProRes is much less compressed than AVCHD video is. You do need to keep in mind though that ProRes HQ is visually lossless. If you chose to use another free converter program you'll most likely get stuck chosing a lossy format. Another nice thing though, is that it works on MAC too. Your shooter needs to know not to do this again though, because as you already know at this point. It can cause big issues...

Transcode sony CX700V AVCHD MTS to Mac without compression with a few simple steps

As one of the hottest products from Sony Hanycam line in 2011, Sony HDR-CX700V offers Full HD 60p and 28Mbps recording, as well as a traditional 60i record mode. With the camcorder's 96GB of internal flash memory, you are able to record long-time high definition videos. If you have recorded videos with your new Sony HDR- X700V for the special events like wedding receptions of your friends or relatives, birthday party of your little daughter or your holiday videos, you may want to make great home movies for enjoying high definition memories in big TV with your family & friends. So the question is how to transcode sony CX700V AVCHD MTS to Mac at best?
Bundled software from Sony Picture Motion Browser may be able to help merge your video footage into one but it’s only limited to windows version. If you use a Mac,Final Mate for Mac is highly recommended for dealing with camcorder footage. Actually, it’s one of rare products on market that is capable of merging AVCHD videos without any conversion or re-encoding, which can preserve your original quality and enable you to enjoy your high definition memories on big TV.
This guide introduces how to merge/combine 1080/60p 28Mbps mts video files from Sony CX700V to one single file without transcoding on Mac computer with featured product Aunsoft Final Mate for Mac nearly released by Aunsoft Studio.
1.Capture/Import Sony CX700V AVCHD files to the program.
There are two ways to import CX700V mts videos to Aunsoft Final Mate for Mac: you can directly capture/copy/extract MTS clips from camcorder to the program o you can browser videos from your computer.
Capture Sony CX700V AVCHD videos from camcorder.
Connect CX700V camcorder to computer via USB cable, and launch Aunsoft Final Mate for Mac from Application folder. With built-in wizard, you can easily to capture mts video files from CX700V to the program. Select “Import” instead of Backup to quickly capture videos from camcorder. You can find imported videos under “Camcorder Tab” in the main interface of Final Mate.
Import AVCHD videos from computer.
If you have already backup all your video recordings from Sony CX700V to your computer, you can browse your video path and the software will automatically show your AVCHD clips in “Resource Tab”.
2.Merge CX700V MTS files into one movie for lossless output
Click the drop-down button of “Add Movie” icon and choose “For Lossless Output” to create a blank movie.
Then drag and drop video clips from Camcorder Tab (imported from Sony CX700V) or Resource Tab (imported from computer) to this new movie. In this way, all your clips have been merged together as a whole complete movie for lossless output which means no re-encoding is involved.
3.Lossless output combined AVCHD movie without re-encoding
Click Export button to start output your movie. You can find combined Sony CX700V MTS videos in output folder of your Mac machine without any quality loss. Plus as no decoding or re-encoding is involved, so the whole process of lossless output will be finished in only a few seconds or minutes.
The guide can be also applied to other AVCHD, TOD, MOD camcorders from Sony, Panasonic, JVC, Canon camcorder brands. Aunsoft Final Mate for Mac could be an ideal companion for you to enjoy real HD experience on TV.
Tip: you may also interested to know how to convert Sony AVCHD files to Apple ProRes for editing in Final Cut Pro orconvert AVCHD to Apple Intermediate Codec(AIC) for editing in FCE/iMovie.

How do you copy the entire folder structure? I normally go to my computer (on a PC, my mac's not arrived yet) and the camera appears as a drive. If I open this up I find a folder with all my images/movie clips in. I just lterally drag and drop these files from the camera 'drive' onto my hard drive. Obviously I'm just dragging a whole heap of individual files though, not an entire folder structure.
I do still find it strange though that my old PC running old software can do this simple task ot reading/using mts, yet a brand new all singing all dancing mac with new software can't. Why is it that PC doesn't need these metadata files and the Mac does? Or I should really ask, why doesn't the Mac have the capability of reading/using files without this data when an old PC can?
