export of projects containing .mts files from Panasonic HMC-150
I’m having problems with exported video “jumping” (skipping a frame, hiccuping, not sure how else to describe it) after I export it from CS4. My original footage is .mts video from a Panasonic HMC-150, shot in 1080-60i. I’m using the same setting for the sequence in my timeline. I’m also rendering before I export. The problem persists regardless of whether I export as .mov or .avi. I have downloaded all recent updates to CS4 and nothing fixes it. I am editing on a brand-new PC with two quad-core processors and 24GB of ram, so I’m thinking this must be a codec-related issue rather than the computer itself (it happened on an older PC, too, but I’d hoped my new machine would solve it).

I have a similar system as yours, with identical ram.
It could be that your display card doesn’t have the throughput for AVCHD..
To prove this, can you export to BluRay this without dropping frames?
If so, that probably points to display card dropping frames..
I had a Quadro FX 560 and had problems…. Went to GeForce 9600GT and for the most part, problem went away….
However, with CS5, going to a Mercury Playback compatible display card made such a improvement!!!

Hi- thanks for the answer! Are you saying that the video card can affect the way the program exports video?
This is the card I’m using:
PNY Quadro FX 3800 PCI-E 1.0GB
I have not tried to export to Blu-Ray yet (the system is brand new), but I was able to export to regular DVD-R as a playable DVD using Encore, and it exported just fine, so maybe you’re onto something here. What does Mercury Playback compatible mean? -
Not exactly… I thought you were dropping frames in PPRO.
To isolate the display card, export to BR, and if OK on BR, (When played on a different BR player, then concentrate on display card.
Did you load NVidia or Windows drivers? NVidia is latest.Looking for 1939 Indian Motocycle

Also, what is the bandwidth of your drive(s)?
The 150 records at a max of 24Mb, so it shouldn’t be an issue, but if your storing it on C: drive, it might be.Mercury Playback won’t help CS4

Hi Jan,
What is BR? Bitrate? Not sure what you mean.
The folks at Puget Customs, who built the computer, loaded all the drivers, so I’m not sure which one I’m using.
I’m out of town the next few days so can’t check on that; the reason I posted before leaving town is that as soon as I get back, I’m headed overseas to use the camera on an embed with US military–so I’m anxious to work towards a solution asap! -
PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE SOLVED…
I ran a few more tests and realized that I was having the same problem with the export even without the transition–so, desperate, I took credit card in hand ahdn just upgraded to PP CS5. Now the export works like a charm– plus it’s a lot easier to deal with .met files in general. Well worth the $299.
