Apparently a number of people are experiencing the same issue. Best thing to do is to submit a bug report. Although I’m sure Adobe is aware of it, the more people that make noise, the quicker they push an issue up the list.

I haven’t had any real issues with AVC-Intra 100. I just completed a project utilizing (2) p2 cameras and a finished timeline of approx 20 minutes with added FX and didn’t have any problems other than a slight lag after hitting the spacebar/play. The AVCHD….I haven’t worked with that.

I think the issue is that the reason I am having issue with AVCIntra 100 is because I am putting it on a AVCHD timeline. 90% of my project is AVCHD and I have interviews that were shot greenscreen in AVCIntra so it is giving slow playback on the AVCHD timeline. Adobes got to fix these issue if they want to stay ahead of the game.

Ive worked with both and have had no issues. The Mercury Playback Engine is as only as good as the computer you are running it on.

What are your systems specs?

I’ve done lots of AVCHD from the sony cameras.

Works quite well.

The only oddity and this is just a nitpick:

when I drop .mts avchd files into a new sequence and premiere
asks if i want to conform the timeline to match, it makes
an AVCINTRA sequence and not avchd which is odd.

Of course you know Chris that under the Sequence Custom option you can configure a new sequence any way you want, right?

ya.

just weird that cs 6 assumes the panasonic format instead of sony.

but alas either work fine anyway.

I have experienced that strange interpretation of media several times. Folks just suggested to ignore it and create a custom sequence if it bothered me. So I did!
