Question

Premiere pro has problem with .TS video files

Hello,

About the last version of Premiere Pro and Premiere Pro beta :

when I try to play .TS video file in them, I have noticed that the image and the sound of the video are not synchronized. 

I have no problem of playing this .TS video file inside VLC player, so I don't understand why Premiere Pro is unable to play it correctly.

I use TS files without issue on a daily basis in PrPro (due to a non ideal workflow) - I think the issues arises from the relatively lax container restrictions of .ts files (i.e. not every ts file is equal, and mine just happen to be usable)

 

re-interpreting with something like FFmpeg (personally I just use VLC) is potentially the best bet - force a re-encode to a more reliable encoding

(one example - I had a badly encoded file with keyframes that were super far apart, a re-encode made it usable in PrPro)

Could you advise me a good converter with professional results, that could convert TS to MP4 ?

Adobe Media Encoder. 🙂

Can you post a representative .ts file? [My old camera made .ts files, and PPro handled them without issue...]

Hi Bruce,

In Adobe Media encoder, I have just tried to convert the TS file to H264, but the result : I have an MP4 file with the same problem : if I play it, the sound and the image are not synchronized.

My TS file is coming from this page : https://www.cnews.fr/emission/2021-08-23/linterview-de-didier-raoult-1118390

I have downloaded this video file (TS in 720 P) on this page with the software "Internet download manager"(https://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/). I can play this TS file in VLC with no problem, but unable to play it correctly in Premiere Pro.


My TS file is coming from this page

"That file is not available in my region". Can you post a representative .ts file, somewhere?

I dont think Premiere supports .ts files.

 

On a side note: VLC is a player, Premiere is a NLE.

Ok.

So I have tried to use Adobe Media Encoder to convert the TS file.

Media Encoder says me it is possible to convert TS file to MXF file only, so I convert it.

But Premiere Pro is also unable to play correctly MXF file (if I try to play the MXF file in Premiere Pro, I have the same problem : between the image and the sound it is not synchronized).
