SONY m2ts file format

Enyone know how convert from SONY HD camera
m2ts files for Premiere Pro CS3 HD editing?
Thanks!

>output as AVCHD H264! if it will not import same
From everything I have read about Premiere, starting with version 6, it preferes non-compressed files for editing... but then does create compressed files for delivery
Note that a DV AVI file is "somewhat" compressed (I think this is the DV25 specification) but that compression (when the file is created in the camera) results in individual frames that are complete in and of themselves... not the type of compressed file with a complete frame every so many frames, and partial frames of change information between those full frames
I am still reading on HiDef files and codecs, but my general impression is there are MAJOR differences in the files created by the various HD codecs and cameras... with some being suitable for Premiere editing, and other still only being suitable for output

How do I use m2ts movie file format from my old pc with FCP on my mac?

I have recently moved from a PC to a iMac. I have a large number of Sony AVCHD movie files, which were imported to my PC and are in the m2ts file format on my PC. The original files on my Sony camera were deleted so these files are now all I have. Also, for each movie clip on my PC there are 3 files....a very large m2ts file along..... with two very small file....one is a .modd file and the other a .moff file.
I now want to use these m2ts files (and if needed possibly these other two smaller files) on my Mac make movies with either iMovie or Final Cut Pro. and don't know how to import them or convert them for use on my Mac. Can anyone help?
One final question. Can FCP author DVD's or is separate software required. Apple has discontinued iDVD for iMovie (which I find rediculous) and so I'm worried they don't support making DVD's with FCP.
Thanks

Although I don't use Toast I know lots of people who do and like it for a variety of purposes; for example, many people author in DVDSP and burn disks using Toast. But there are a lot of versions and they have differing features and capability. Do a search in these (or iDVD) forums you'll find plenty of info. Don't know about the other app. Again, if you ask Apple, they may come through with iDVD…they have for others.
Clipwrap quality limitations? Try the trial and test the results for yourself. As far as I know the trial is fully freatured but there is a one minute clip limitation (which doesn't apply to the paid version).
Good luck.

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. 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. 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.

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

What exact file format for exporting AVCHD to HDD of Sony HDR-SR12E (AVCHD) Handycam?

When you are finished editing AVCHD files with Adobe Premiere Elements 11, what is the correct file format for exporting back to the hard drive of the Sony HDR-SR12E handycam?
I used Sony Play Memories software to import AVCHD (.m2Ts) files at 1920x1080i PAL resolution. I tried rendering to several file formats after editing, but the files could not be exported in high definition back to the hard drive of the AVCHD camera.
I WAS able to import files from camera in Play Memories and then export them straight back to camera WITHOUT any editing, but of course you wouldn't bother doing this normally.
I grew to love using Premiere Elements 10 for editing sd footage from my mini dv camera. However, I've just purchased the AVCHD handycam and expect to receive my newly purchased copy of Premiere Elements 11 in a couple of days.
Can anybody suggest the correct file format to produce for exporting AVCHD footage edited in PE11 originally captured on the Sony HDR-SR12E back to the camera?
- Regards, Phil

Phil
Premiere Elements 10 has the Share/Tape (Record to DV). And, even that is for just DV, not HDV. There is no such choice in Premiere Elements 11 and 12.
So, you are going to have to match up the properties of the original with Export settings and try to get the file exported onto the camera's hard drive if that is possible. Does the Sony user guide give instructions for how to import one of your video to its hard drive?
The theory depends on how close you want the export of the edit to match the camera's original. There is no .m2ts file extension in any of the Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD choices. If the .m2ts file extension is a must..
One scheme to get a AVCHD.m2ts 1920 x 1080i25 for your camera's hard drive - lots of ifs
1. Publish+Share/Disc/AVCHD and burn to folder using presets = H.264 1920 x 1080i PAL Dolby.
(The preset cannot be customized so you will go with the Adobe bitrate.for the preset)
2. Then go to the folder saved to the computer's hard drive, open the BDMV Folder, then the STREAM Folder of the BDMV Folder, and use the 00000.m2ts file there as your file destined for your camera's hard drive.
If the hard drive will accept ..m2t, then you could use Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with Presets = M2T - H.264 1920 x 1080i25 and customize the export settings under the Advanced Tab/Video Tab and Audio Tab.
Please review and then let us know if any of this works for you.
Thanks.

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.

Importing AVCHD .MTS and .M2TS files (Sony HDR-SR1) into iMovie 08

I've read numerous other threads about trying to get these files into iMovie 08 but I'm still having problems.
I can plug my camcorder in just fine and have it import directly off there. But for older video files that I took with this camcorder I have two folders. One with just the .MTS files that I pulled off the camcorder. And the other with the YYYYMMDDHHMMSS (.modd & .m2ts) files that I archived (using my sony software) on my pc way back when I was using my PC for video editing.
I created a .DMG that I copied everything from my camcorders HD to. I was able to mount this and iMovie 08 worked just like when I plug my camcorder in. But my problem comes when I try to work with the older .MTS and .M2TS files that I backed up. I was hoping that I could just put them in the
DMGIMAGE\AVCHD\BDMV\STREAM folder and have it import just like before but no luck there. Any ideas as to how I can go about pulling these old raw video files to work with in iMovie? Thanks.

You might try voltaic to convert these files before adding them to imovie

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

My raw files go to unsupported file format when I load them in. Sony RX 100 had for one year. Never happened before.

my raw files go to unsupported file format when I load them in. Sony RX 100 camera shooting RAW had for one year. Never happened before.
Can only load the files in by running them trhough Adobe Camera RAW first and loading them as TIFFS into Aperture. JPEGs form the Sony load into Aperture just fine. Have repaired datebase, permissions ect but no change. Aperture 3.4.5 on a Power Mac. Whats up? Anyone know?

You mention that 'most' of your files are DNG. Try
running the effected files through Adobe DNG
converter again and then import your reprocessed
files to Aperture and see if the problem persists.
I had a problem with a batch of D2x files converted
to DNG which had been metadata tagged by
PhotoMechanic (the evil app).
B.T.W. You mention that you had been using Bridge.
Are you getting any of the embedded XMP metadata
coming into Aperture during the import process?
Already tried that multiple times...no luck. I'm wondering though if it might be related to metadata as you suggest. I'm still trying different things to see what happens.
I was able to alleviate the problem on one set of images by painstakingly searching my external drive for the oldest backups I could find - CR2 files from before DNG conversion. I then ran those through DNG Converter and tried importing them again (this time, I embedded NO thumbnail, but I'm not sure if that made the difference - I think it was more likely a fluke in the original conversion that caused the problem). This time, it worked.
Now, the big problem is that I still have a couple hundred images for which I can't seem to locate the original CR2 files. I don't typically keep them after conversion, as I don't have the space for both.

After Effects CS5 and Sony HDR-SR1 AVCHD (.MTS) File Format

Hi everyone,
I've just started with After Effects, and I the only video camera I have is an old Sony HDR-SR1 camera, which records in 1080i and uses the AVCHD file format. I've recorded a few videos, in which I proceeded to try and import to After Effects. The program came up with this error: "After Effects error: '0020.MTS' cannot be imported - this '.mts' file is damaged or unsupported." I understand that this error is pretty common, but I do not understand how to fix it. I've already tried the Media Encoder, and the videos that come out are horrible quality videos that are nothing like the videos recorded on the camera. I've also tried Sony's included Picture Motion Browser (I have the latest version) and when I try to convert, the video also comes out horrible quality and always has these annoying lines running across the video. Please help!
Thanks!

Actually, the AE should recognize the AVCHD footage, since I imported one of my recoedings, which is 1080p MTS to AE, and it worked. Maybe the problem lies in 1080i. I always deinterlace my 1080i files and then import them to AE. You may try to deinterlace your files and then import them to AE.
As for the deinterlacing, you can google or you can give brorsoft mts converter, which I'm using now, a try. It has a codec for AE and Adobe Premiere, wchich make it easier to import files to AE. Besides, you can convert your 1080i files to MPEG-2 and then import them to AE.

Can Premier handle the SONY camcorder MTS format files?

I have a 1 year old Sony camcorder (model HDR-CX260V) and was trying to determine if Adobe Premier Elements can import the videos that that camcorder takes (seems to be MTS file format), import those videoes, edit them, and then output to a more universally recognized file type (that can be played on a TV/DVD and/or PC?
I have done a # of web searches and don't seem to find a definitive answer on this. Thanks in advance for any help.
Fred

Fred
For now assuming a NTSC workflow.
I have looked at the video specifications for the Sony HDR-CX260V and on paper it looks you should be able to import/edit/export it output, namely,
a. 1080p60 (1920 x 1080 16:9 @ 60 progressive frames per second)
b. 1080i30 (1920 x 1080 16:9 @ 30 interlaced frames per second)
c. 1440 x 1080 HD anamorphic 16:9 @ 30 interlaced frames per second.
You say that you have a .mts file extension.
Premiere Elements 11 has project presets for each of the above.
For TV/DVD viewing via the DVD player, you are going to need DVD-VIDEO format on DVD disc. In this case, NTSC DVD-VIDEO Widescreen format on DVD disc.
Keep in mind:
a. you will be going from 1920 x 1080 to the standard of the DVD-VIDEO format (720 x 480 frame size whether standard or widescreen)
b. your interlaced source media will gave a Field Order (Scan Order) = Upper Field First; whereas, DVD-VIDEO has Lower Field First....that may need switching by selecting one of the Hard Disk Flash Memory Camcorder choices or using a regular project preset and using Field Options Reverse Field Dominance on the file on the Timeline.
All this can be done in many versions of Premere Elements (with or without new Premiere Elements project preset 1080p60). More details on that later.
But, if you do not now have any version of Premiere Elements, then please, before any purchase, download and install and try the free 30 day tryout of Premiere Elements 11 from Adobe. You need to verify that Premiere Elements 11 is compatible with your computer environment as well as your video importing/editing/exporting.
We will be watching for your progress.
Thanks.

HT2479 My camcorder produces m2ts format movies, can I import this file format to my iMac?

I'm looking to take the leap into Mac ownership but hit a problem today - my camcorder movies (m2ts format) look like they aren't supported by Apple. I have about 70 gb worth of movies and I'm concerned with the things I've read concerning the topic, namely that it's not straight forward to use this file format with iMovie. Does anyone have any advice to offer, perhaps being a similar situation? I'm not 100% sure that I'm correct about the incompatibility, I've found it hard to find a straight answer on the web - one confused, hopeful mac owner!........

Actually, AVCHDs load into Premiere Elements EASIER THAN mjpegs because the program is designed to use them (as long as you set up your project with a project preset that matches your AVCHD source specs).
Version 9 will even edit AVCHDs natively. That means that you don't have to render them before you edit them, as you did in earlier versions (including version 9). If you're going to edit AVCHDs, you really should get version 9. It handles them much more effciently.
But regardless, you won't see jitter related to the source files. Not with AVCHDs, if your project is set up properly.
You WILL however, need a powerful computer. At least a quad core or i7 computer. Otherwise the program will work very slowly.
The best advice for creating a DVD is to output your finished AVCHD video first using Share/To Computer/AVI using the DV settings. Then open a new project set up for DV, load the AVI to your timeline and output your DVD from there (using Share/To Disc). This will give you a sharper final video and will save you hours of rendering time.
