  • [Pre Pro cs6 – CC] working with AVCHD footage

    Posted by Duca Simone luchini on August 29, 2013 at 6:56 am

    Hallo everybody,
    I’ve some issues to edit with .MTS AVCHD footage (from Panasoni 151).
    What do you suggest about?
    Transcode with Clipwrap in (f.e. in XDCAM EX, Pro Res HD… extremely big files…)?
    Or edit in Pre Pro, importing directly .MTS AVCHD footage?

    And if you have a project with different footage – for example clips in .mov from Canon 60D DSRL and clips AVCHD from Panasonic 151 – what kind of Sequence setting have I set to match both footage format?

    Many thanks!

    What issues?
    You can edit everything mentioned native.
    Make sure you copy whole card to hdd then ingest via Media Browser.
    Matching sequeunce for mixed footage is usually the one with the most used format.

    Hi Ann, my issues are…
    so, I’ve many SDHC card with different AVCHD footage. Something is about an argument, something is about an others. Therefore, I need to take JUST the .mts files about an argument cause I can’t copy an entire SDHC just only for am interview.
    I think maybe I should to take (Copy) from an SDHC card ONLY the clip I need and all other folders (AVCHD Tree) and impost that in Pre Pro.
    We have not this problem with .mov from DSRL cause there are any tree folder.
    But what about Sequence setting? If I have for exemple AVCHD footage and .mov footage, which kind of sequence setting have I choose?

    Thanks.

    My goodness you’re making this much harder then it needs to be, here’s how you work:

    Copy files from SD card to your Raid or editing hard drive(s).

    From Pr launch media Browser and nav to the folder, import just the clips you want, drag them into your project.

    Now, take one clip and drop it on the “make new sequence” icon and Pr will match the sequence to your footage.
    Edit.
    Export.
    Send invoice.

    Great, Chris,
    now all is clear but you answered just to the first question…
    What about setting Sequence with different format footage?
    Thanks!

    You should choose the sequence that most matches your delivery format OR what you have the most of one flavor of.
