Premiere Pro On Mac not recognizing AVCHD
I have Premiere Pro 5.5 on my iMac, and my raw videos are AVCHD (.mts). When I try to import the videos into Premiere it says the compression type is unknown. Is it the mac, or premiere? Is there a way (like codecs for mac) to make Mac recognize the filetype other than converting it?
If not, what’s a good AVCHD converter that still keeps the HD quality?
Thanks

No codec causes me headaches like AVCHD. I have used Voltaic in the past. It has always gotten the job done, if a bit slowly: https://www.shedworx.com/voltaichd

I don’t understand. I have been importing AVCHD the last week with no problem on Windows in Pr. Are you sure you haven’t copied the folders wrong? You have to keep it in it’s folder structure. That’s why i hate it, and have been moving to mxf. The formal structure is a pain. Don’t get me wrong, i’ve done nice work with it, but it’s not user friendly.i’m making assumptions you have worked with it before. True?
Also, you might want to fill out your profile, so we can better understand your setup without asking.

Hi Tyler,
When moving clips from memory card to hard drive, keep the entire folder structure intact, and use Media Browser in Premiere for import, hope this helps the issue.

This happened to me with GH2 files (.mts) and somehow the file association had been set to Unix Executible. When this happens Premiere Pro won’t recognize the file and will give this error. Ctl+click on file, choose open with, select Premiere Pro and select always open with this program. That should fix the problem. You don’t need to import the entire structure to open MTS audio and video in PP, but it is recommended as some NLE programs (FCP) need the additional information. Also make sure you didn’t inadvertently change the file suffix, e.g. to something like MTS 2 which can happen if you copy a duplicate file name to the same folder. Good Luck!

I tried this, and Premiere is still wanting to render the files, even though the settings of the project and the files match.
Any other ideas? I’m using a Panasonic HMC-150 if that matters at all.
