importing in premiere
I am a final cut user who has switched over to CS6. In FCP, we use to import in apple pro res they said it was the best quality.
I see the CS6 you can import and edit in the raw .mts files.
is this better then converting to another format?

The beauty of PrPro is that you can read and work with native files without the need to transcode first. Depending on your workflow it is perfectly acceptable to work in the native format and let AME do the heavy lifting at the end of the cut. Some codecs will perform better than others and depending on your workstation specs your mileage may vary.

We still convert our AVCHD files to ProRes, because it seems to play well with PP. I have no tech info but it feels like it is easier for PP to play more of the ProRes in real time than it is for it keep unpacking a highly compressed format.

You can certainly try the AVCHD files natively, but it does depend a bit on your hardware configuration.
If the native files don’t work easily, you can always use Prelude as your stand in “log and capture” to convert to ProRes if you like.
