Importing .mts AVCHD video into Premiere Pro CS5.5, HELP!

Adobe Premiere 2018 supports .MTS files.

To avoid problems with the RAM you have to remove the files you want to put on premier from sub-sub-sub-folders, example:

YES: Movie.mts ----> move ------> to D: \ Movie \

NO: Movie.mts ----> move ------> to D: \ Movie \ SD \ File \ local \ Movie file \ HD \ because all these folders \

Not sure if this is too little too late but I saw that this thread still gets a lot of views. With most Canon cameras the easiest thing to do is use the Data Import Utility that the camera came with. Connect the camera to the computer and run the utility to automatically import the AVCHD (as .mts). Not only does it do it for you but if you have a camera that breaks longer scenes into small bits it will "stitch" them together while importing. Then just bring the .mts file into Premiere. Hope this helps.

Just a note too the Utility is now hosted by Pixela in case you dont have the cd and search the web to download it.

I would suggest sourcing the higher level files if possible, and retaining the original file structure.

If you can't source them, at least bring in what you have via Media Browser. Sometimes where a single MTS take has spanned across two clips Premiere will import two files into the project that are the same exactly. Just double check they are they same and you could remove one if it bothered you.

Editing with MTS and movs will be fine, however to make Premiere work as smoothly as possible be sure to set your editing timeline to the format that the majority of the clips are in. For example, if 90% of the media is MOVS then grab one of the mov clips from the project bin and drop it onto the 'new sequence' button in you project panel and a new sequence will be created that will be set for optimized editing of MOVS.

This worked for me, and is a very quick solution from Adobe: Importing AVCHD media into Premiere Pro on Mac OS X v10.8 (Mountain Lion) | Premiere Pro work area

I'm having the same problem with Premiere Pro CC 2014 and moving the entire AVCHD will not solve this issue.

This issue is big as most modern camcorders now record in the .MTS format, and I for one don't want to resort to having .mts files be transcoded files into other formats.

I was up against the same exact problem, but I finally figured this out (for myself anyway). Although copying the entire camera card or drive contents is a great idea, it was not enough for Premiere to be able to recognize the MTS clips from my Canon Vixia HFS20 cam. I'm on a Mac btw. So, what I did was I entered the Private folder, right-clicked the AVCHD file and chose "Show Package Contents". Then I did the same for the BDMV file that appeared. Once inside BDMV, I opened the Stream folder and then dragged the clips over to Premier's media browser. Once I put clips in a sequence, somehow it took a little while for the audio to assemble itself to the video (first only a few seconds of the audio could be heard, but it then "loaded" the rest). It then played and edited perfectly. I have not read all of the responses to the initial post, and so my apologies for any redundancies.

Can't load AVCHD/MTS into Premiere Pro CS5.5? Even though the latest version of Adobe Premiere Pro claims to support AVCHD/MTS/M2TS videos, you may not import all AVCHD (.mts) files to Premiere Pro CS5.5 for editing for different parameter settings. Here, you can convert MTS to Premiere Pro best editing video format via Acrok MTS Video Converter or Acrok MTS Converter for Mac.

As we know, Adobe Premiere Pro supported MOV, WMV, MPG, AVI, MP4 editing well, so we can transcode MTS/M2TS to these video format on Mac or Windows.

Steps:

1. Run MTS to Premiere Pro Converter, import AVCHD/MTS video from your computer or camera/camcorder

2. Click "Format" to choose output video format, here, you can choose "Editing Software" > "Premiere Pro WMV/Premiere ProMOV/Premiere ProMPG"

3. Start MTS to Premiere Pro video conversion

for some reason without the ext. mts.sfk there will be no sound for premiere ..i notice that some of my mts files with it work...

AHHHHH! This is so effed! I was in the middle of a big project on CS5 and had begun organizing MTS files in my project. Now I'm on CS6 on a different machine with an external drive hooked up. It's impossible for me to associate the MTS files in my Prroject because of this "Private" insanity.  So what am I supposed to do??!! Start OVER?!!!!!

Whats up guys, been a while since ive been on this post and it sure has many people talking. Anyways, a friend of mine has recently discovered a way to import the AVCHD (.mts) into Ppro, by selecting the AVCHD setting in Sequence presets, so the question is, where is mine?
