Source: Sony FS100 Workflow-60p AVCHD Importing to Premiere Pro
I have a Sony FS100, which is wonderful to be taken to record full HD videos(AVCHD) when I’m travelling. Whereas, when I wanna edit those AVCHD MTS footage in Adobe Premiere before sharing with my friends, I met problems: the Premiere handled with the 1080 60p files so slowly, and I couldn't edit my videos smoothly.
I searched the FS100 and Adobe Premiere Pro on Google, and found the other users are also facing the importing problems: No sound importing to Premiere Pro
“Just got my new FS100 today, love it. However no sound in Premiere Pro 5.5.2 Mac. Some research has indicated that Premiere Pro doesn't like the AVCHD 60P + LPCM combo, it just thinks there’s no sound track. Is there some setting or something I can do?”
Well, I’ve found out the solution to fix the Sony AVCHD (.mts/.m2ts) in Adobe Premiere Pro issues. If you are also the FS100 owner and had the similar trouble with Premiere Pro, go through the article to check out the solution.
So how to import/load video clips from Sony FS100 into Adobe Premiere for editing smoothly with no problems? The reason behind that you can't edit Sony AVCHD MTS files in Premiere smoothly is due to the format and codec. AVCHD MTS is a delivery codec rather than editing codec and the 1080 60p is a non-standard format for NLE. The best method to solve those problems is to transcode Sony AVCHD .mts to Adobe Premiere Pro most compatible format, for instance, the MOV, MPEG-2 with Brorsoft Mac MTS to Premiere Pro Converter .
Overall, the Sony MTS Converter comes with supports for a wide range of video editing software and media devices, including Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro, iMovie and Final Cut Express. It helps you convert Sony as well as Panasonic, Canon AVCHD recording to any editable format like MPEG-2, DNxHD, ProRes, AIC. mov, etc as you need without any quality loss. If you are troubled by the importing issues on Windows, please get MTS/M2TS Converter.
