  • Importing AVCHD gives duplicate MTS files?

    Posted by Brian Thomas on August 28, 2011 at 8:32 pm

    I copy my file structure in it’s entirety from my camcorder onto a HDD and within PP, when Importing, I simply click on the top level – say CAM_MEM or CAM_SD or whatever. A few moments later I get some messages about unsupported this and that but all the MTS files end up in the Project panel ready for dragging into the Timeline. However, it seems longish clips get listed twice, why? It’s difficult to define longish: this happens to clips of say 35 minutes but not to ones of only a minute. It doesn’t seem to have any adverse effects – I drag in one or the other of the duplicates and all seems fine but is there something I’m missing?

    Perhaps I shouldn’t be Importing in this way?

    Import using the Media Browser. If you do so, spanned clips will be dealt with correctly.
