  • Premiere Pro CC 2018 won’t import AVCHD files

    Posted by Leonard Frankford on November 21, 2017 at 4:56 pm

    I have a Mac Pro early 2009 OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 work computer. I just upgraded to Premiere Pro CC 2018. I had all of the earlier versions of CC and never had a problem importing AVCHD files. Now, it won’t import them. I just get a spinning pinwheel-no error message, it just won’t import them. Anyone else seeing this? Advice? Thank you.

    Are you using the Media Browser to access the files?

    Just a thought – we too use AVCHD footage, and for years EVERY single update had caused our files to not be recognized, until we change the name of the folder they are in, even adding a ‘dash’ to the folder name.

    I always use Import but I also tried the Media Browser for this one. Same result. However, before I left work last night I hit Import again, and this morning the files were there. I had tried that before but the next day the files were there with no sound. This time there was sound so I can continue editing. I suspect that if I use the Media Browser and wait long enough they will eventually import. It just never took so long before.
