AVCHD files from panasonic camera
Has anyone tried to import AVCHD files from a Panasonic camera. We don’t seem to have much success in getting premiere to read card.
Many thanks

AVCHD is not currently supported by Premiere, but will be soon.

Optimism has never been your weak point, hasn’t it, Mike?

Well, Adobe people have said it will be happening. They just never said when. Some people are hoping for an announcement at NAB this week. I will believe it when I see it.

In the meantine you can use the AVCHD to P2 converter from Panasonic.

That AVCHD to P2 conversion software saved my butt a few months ago…..
I’m looking forward to being able to read the files natively…. Maybe someone will post from NAB this week…
Frankly I’d be scared to purchase any camera that isn’t supported by Premiere Pro… on the ‘off chance’ that it might be supported….
I realize most of the new camera’s are all subsets of one another…. But I sure wish they’d settle on a standard that everyone could use…. and Read….. And Write….

Premiere can not recognize and edit AVCHD video files. But it can read and notice some common video formats, like MOV and MPEG.
So you should do some conversion to your Panasonic AVCHD video files to MOV editable by Premiere.As for AVCHD video converter, have a try Aunsoft MTS Converter for Mac which can decode AVCHD video files to any format you need, including MOV,AVI,MPEG and ect. with lossless of original video quality.
Good luck.

Just to correct the last post on this. Premiere Pro CS5 does edit AVCHD natively and very well. CS4 was the first version of PPro to work with AVCHD. it did have many teething problems then, but in CS5 the AVCHD codec is imported and edited with the need to be converted. You will need a machine that runs close to the high end recommendations. As always the video products will perform best when running on a system built to adobe’s top end system recommendations.

Seeing that the first post was from April of 2008….
At that time the answer was no, it couldn’t… That would mean CS3….
CS4 and CS5 is a different story… AVCHD Works fine…I didn’t know such an old post could be updated…. AVCHD has worked fine in Premiere for years.

Thanks fo your reply.
I have updated my Adobe PPro to CS5, it works fine on AVCHD video files, WOWO…
If someone use the lower version, you can do as I said above.Good luck, everyone.
