  • I now have Adobe CS6 and am new to it – have an importing video question

    Posted by Don Cobble on December 17, 2014 at 3:48 am

    I am new to CS6 Production Premium

    I trying to import footage that came from a Panasonic camera 1920×1080 30P 50 Mbps MP4 that is on an SD card. The clips are auto broken up in approx. 3.50Gb files when I import them they stay individual files.

    When I import my Sony EX1 files , though they are also broken up into smaller files they import as one video file.

    Is there a method in CS6 for keeping those Panasonic mp4 files linked as one file in importing, it is a 1 hour class??
    Thank U

    Hi Don,

    The solution is simple – import into Premiere using the Media Browser (the tab for the panel is usually at lower left in Premiere). This will intelligently recognize spanned clips and import as one long clip.

    Important – copy entire contents of SD card to your hard drive, intact, do NOT copy just the video clips. The original folder structure is important to have for proper results.

    Thanks

    Panasonic as in GH3 or GH4?
    I am not sure but I think CS6 will only do P2 or XDCAM EX cards.

    Jeff – thank you but it does not work with the type of source I have
    Ann – you must be correct about the P2 card only _ SO

    Is there a way in any of the other software’s that come in this Production Prem CS6 that I have not learned yet? Like Prelude or On Location? I dont know what either of those do yet but am learning.

    Don,

    Media Browser in CS6 most definitely supports AVCHD but I don’t know exactly what type of footage you have or from what camera model, you didn’t say

    Thanks
