Question

PremierePro / open .ts (Transport Stream) with two video channels

Hi all,

we are currently facing a problem with PremierePro and .ts files.

We have video recording equippment, that records some lectures and saves the data as .ts (transport stream) files (encoded as mpeg2). The file contains 2 video channels (eg lecturer and presentation) and two audio channels (basically we would only need one here).

I would need to edit the recordings afterwards and simply tried to import the .ts file in Premiere. What I get is both audio tracks but only one video track - but there is a second video channel in the .ts file and I miss that in Premiere.

Is there any way, to open/import the complete video data into Premiere and put it in a sequence (preferably each video channel in a seperate video track)?

Maybe someone is out there, who can helpus out here ...

thanks a lot,

cheers,

Florian

    Please - I am not crazy but this works.

     

    I have the same challange - how to import and edit a DVD with Premiere.

     

    Here is what I found.

    The video side came in easy. The sound did not come in.

    I thought, if a video file with sound is imported into Audition, the sound will come with it. I dropped the entire "ts" folder into Audition and it popped out an audio file with L/R channels. From there I was able to clean up and sound (EQ, limiter, reduce noise ets) and export a WAV file and then imported the WAV into Premiere.

    I repeat - I ma not crazy but this works.

    .ts file are atypical for editing.

    I recommend recording in another format, one file for each video channel.

    thanks for the reply,

    we already have a workaround with a script that seperates both video channels into seperate mpeg files ... but we are looking for a possibility, if Premiere can open a transport stream file with both video channels for editing (and further export these again after editing into such a file)

    On it's own, no.

    I'm also skeptical anyone has made any kind of plug-in for such.  Like I said, what you're doing is atypical.

    Hello Florian,

    have you tried to import via Media Browser?

    I never used to handle with .ts files in Premiere, so it might be possible, that you need to transcode to DNx or cineform codec...

    best,

    Jo

    Hello Jo,

    hm, yes I did try that yesterday evening... but still the same ... any way I tried to import the .ts file I get 1 video track and 2 (both) audio tracks. I even tried to convert the .ts file to DNx codex ... didn't make any difference

    Anyone any more ideas?

    Maybe some reaction from Adobe guys directly??

    cheers,

    Florian

    No final answer, but while you're waiting...

    .ts is not a supported filetype. Changing extention can help with some issues, but since you are getting as far as you are, I suspect converting with a tool that recognizes both video streams may be required.

    .ts file is imported as an audio file
