importing .m2ts files
Can Premiere Pro Cs3 import .m2ts files? When I attempt it, i get an error message saying that the file is either damaged or the format is not supported. The files I’m trying to import were sent to me using Dropbox and are mpegs which I thought would import just fine. However, they won’t and it seems like the ‘ts’ which stands for ‘transfer stream’ is the problem to me. Are they temporary files that can’t be imported until I get a permanent copy or is it a problem of still using Cs3?

Thanks. Although thats not what I wanted to hear. Anyone else got anything or know a method to do it in Cs3?

Also, what parameters do you, personally, enter for a new hi-def project? Will I not be able to import hd files into a project if its not set up with the correct parameters (ie. frame rate, aspect ratio)?

I guess it would be important to note that I’m not importing or capturing the files from a camera or recording device. They were sent to me with the program called Dropbox. I have a feeling that if I were trying to capture them from a recording device they would probably work. I would just like to understand why it won’t let me import them from my computer’s hard drive.

An m2t file saved from Premiere Pro can be Imported into would you believe Premiere Elements 4 and it will export as a Cineform avi file and in High definition if used.Especially valuable if used to Export to Tape if videocamera is nor recognised in Premiere Pro.

M2ts is not supported in CS3. It is in CS4.
If don’t want to upgrade then u must convert thefile into a different format. Cineform has a paid product with 30day trial called Neo. There are probably other applications that van convert but cineform is almost a staple plugin for ppro users these days.

Not into CS3. I had many hours of this last year (nightmare project) and had to convert it all, involving lots of rendering.

I have dropbox installed on my mac send a me a short clip and I’ll see if it works. One of my buddies has a sony z5u which creates m2t files. He edits in premiere cs3 so I can confirm that it works. My email in case you want to set up a shared folder is nathan at anchormediastudio dot com
