AVCHD files do not import into premiere pro cs6.     it starts to import than says "not responding" I attempted import via media browser but also no good. I copied camera avchd files onto hard drive and still no good. I have a client depending on me. Please help. I've been working with pp cs6 a while and this has never happened. I also tried to import using a different camera and no good. Please help me.

    With most AVCHD you need to copy the entire card structure into a folder on a local drive, and the using the Media browser navigate to and "Import" them. I think they are typically "stitched" clips on the card, with perhaps separate audio files, and there's an info-base in another folder that links the bits to actual "clips".

    I hope that's what you've done so far?

    yes that was what I had done. When ppro saves files it seems to save a bunch of crap all together. I'm not sure how or what I've actually done but I now save certain parts to a different file and that seems to have worked. Adobe really sucks to end support as it did. thanks

    Its not crap its actually metadata.

    Premiere only imports/ingests the mts files. Rest is regarded as not supported (which is correct).
