Importing MTS File from Sony HXR NX70u – Great Video no sound
Great camera. Wonderful resolution. But when I import the MTS File into Premiere CS 5.5, I get a great video without sound. Shooting at 1080 60p. Third party software converts the footage fine with sound but I loose a bit of visual quality. Anyone know the fix. Couldn’t find anything on Sony or Adobe support sites.
Thanks

Hi,
I am using the NX5 and having no problems. Do you want to send me a small native mts file to download and test here – I have both CS5 and CS5.5? Use something like YouSendIt or similar.
The audio on my clips doesn’t play e.g. in Windows media player, but does show up in PPro.

Copy the original folder structure from the media card direct to your edit hard drive, without using Sony browser. Then in Premiere, rather than “Import”, use the “Media Browser” found at bottom left of Premiere interface to dig through your folders and find the video clips. This is the best way to import AVCHD and other tapeless formats.

The only problem I see with that solution is any clip over 10 min or 2GB is broken up into 2 clips which then has frames missing when conforming. You have to use the Sony CMU software to put them together. I don’t think PPR CS5.5 media browser does this.

Am uploading to Dropbox. Send me an email I can forward a share to.

Yup, tried that. Same result. I suppose I can use the third party software to get the sound and use the better visual form the import, synch it up, but really. Too many steps. Got to be a better solution. Am uploading files to Dropbox. Do you want me to send you a share as well? Maybe its just me, but someone else may run into the problem.

I don’t see any way to privately send you a message on the site, but here is my email address. Please advise when you have it and I’ll remove it.
and you know the rest.

Audio doesn’t show up here either in CS5, CS5.5, or in WMP or even by trying to extract using AME.
Might try shooting in a different audio mode until something gets figured out. It should import natively just fine so there must be an update needed.
Wish I could help further.

Thanks for your time on this. At least I don’t feel like an idiot. I’m using Aunsoft Video Converter and it works, but the video gets noticeably darker (not to mention the time converting).
Maybe Sony and or Adobe can pick up on this and come up with a fix.
BTW Final Cut won’t even recognize the file for Log and Transfer. Not an AVID user so can’t comment on that. -
OK so I have some new information. LPCM Audio. (was new to me)
There is an issue with importing the MTS files when using uncompressed LPCM Audio in Premiere. According to Sony, this issue was know for CS3 and 4 but resolved in 5. (Really? This issue is that old?) However, on the Adobe site, I’m seeing people are still having issues. Would love to have someone from Adobe weigh in on this. Current forum shows questions about this issue “Not Answered”. Also saw similar posts on Videomaker site.
I’ve been advised that a current work around is to change the audio to Dolby or WAV. Using Dolby is not a problem for me, but I assume there are those who desire the uncompressed audio.
The other solution is to use 3rd party conversion programs. Cineform and Audacity (sound only?) were specifically mentioned.
Hope this is helpful.
