ACHD MTS Files Premiere setting sequence settings to ARRI Cinema
Hi,
I’m trying to edit Natively with some AVCHD MTS files from a Panasonic AF100. When i make a new sequence from the clips, Adobe sets the sequence settings to Arri Cinema. I assume this is not right. I also get a yellow render bar. I then manually set the sequence settings to AVCHD 25p (shot pal) and i still get the yellow render bar. Have i got that right? And would i be better off not editing the MTS files natively but transcoding them to another format. I am also going to be mixing in some h264 canon DSLR footage as well.
If anybody has any advice for this workflow it would be great. I am fairly new to premiere (a recent converter from Final Cut Pro 7) which i used to convert footage to pro res. Would i be better off using the same method?
Cheers Josh

I’ve noticed this as well with Sony NXCAM footage.
I drop it in a new sequence and when premiere asks to change it to match
it makes it AVC-INTRA instead of AVCHD.I’m also seeing the yellow bar now every time.
I could have sworn when I was on CS 6.0 (now on 6.01)
if the sequence matched the footage, there was no yellow line
(even though it plays just fine with yellow line) -
I just don’t understand what the problem is with AVCHD footage.. Premiere cs6 tries to set sequence settings as Arri Cinema and when i change it it doesn’t like it and i get stuttery playback with yellow bar ect… I try importing the files into cs5 and it makes the sequence upper field first dominance (the footage is 100% none as it is progressive). I then use clipwrap to wrap the footage into h264 for final cut pro 7 and it imports the footage as upper field first (and it does the same thing with h264 dlsr footage)…. if i change the sequence settings back to none im sure it doesn’t look right especially as final cut says that the footage is upper field first even before i make a sequence.
It seems the only way to edit this footage properly is to transcode it into pro res using compressor which is when final cut finally recognizes it as a progressive file.
Does anybody know any reasoning for this or if i am doing something wrong. Or is anybody having the same problem not just with avchd but dslr footage and the upper field issue too.

I had no trouble with DSLR footage from a 5d on CS 5.5 when I tried it a few months back.
what camera are you shooting with?
mac or pc version of premiere?

Josh:
This is a known bug with Adobe. They are working on it. It primarily happens with spanned MTS clips (where the camera splits the longer recorded file into 4GB or less files). CS5 and 5.5 handled these just fine, it was the CS6 release that has caused this problem.
Eternity…don’t miss it for the world.
