ACVHD – for once and for all
i am trying to import acvhd footage taken on a sony pj760. the quality is awful and very jittery. i am using the lastest verison of premiere pro on a mac (mavericks 10.9.2). the documentation says that premiere pro should be able to work with just about any format natively. i know that acvhd is sony and panasonic proprietary, but this is a pretty old format. surely there must be a way. so far, i have tried:
1: importing through the media browser directly from the camera – results are rubbish
2: copying the ENTIRE CARD over to the hard drive first – premiere pro does not even see the footage.
it does see MTS files, but says they are not supported.
PLEASE ADVISE
many thanks in advance.

I believe you can use Media Encoder, but when out in the field I just use https://www.divergentmedia.com/clipwrap.
You can also right click on the AVCHD file in Finder, “Show Package contents,” do it again for the BDMV file (where do they come up with these names??), then open the folder called “Stream.”
Inside Stream you’ll find the MTS files, which can be copied to a new folder, then imported into PPr.
I hope it works. Let me know.

thank you so much for taking the effort to reply. in fact, i simply moved to final cut pro X and everything “just worked” – straight off the camera.
pity adobe can’t seem to get it right. as a licensed holder of a creative cloud license, it would have saved me a load of cash.
cheers
