Trouble with .mts files in Premiere CS 5.5
OK, I know everyone’s eyes are rolling as I have seen multiple posts on multiple boards asking why .mts files from Panasonic P2 and AVCHD cameras are not playing smoothly in Premiere CS 5.5 sequences. I have yet to find an answer, so here we go.
System Specs – Win 7, dual AMD Opteron 2.3Ghz Processors, 32 Gb RAM, NVIDIA Quadro 4000 video card, plenty of space on both the operating and work array (solid state) drives.
In Premiere, the Mercury playback GPU acceleration is on.
My project settings match my footage (drag clip onto new sequence icon, etc.)
Monitor settings are to full quality.
Software is up to date.
Other file types (.mov, .avi, .mp4) all play flawlessly. It is just the .mts files that gag (video is VERY jerky, audio plays fine) in the sequence. They play fine in the preview monitor.
My system was built to scream….and it does…..with file types other than .mts. I am sure I am missing a setting somewhere, but where?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! This is VERY frustrating! Thanks in advance!

I have an older HP workstation with dual dual core Opterons, and it has a hard time with AVCHD. No problem on my quad core i7 box, though. I think it is the Opterons.

I have a total of 16 cores working so the processor is not an issue.
It seems like Premiere is not seeing the GPU and is tasking the CPU.
Sometimes the files will play fine. The next time we play the sequence it, bogs down after 5 seconds.
Also, the files seem to play fine in the source monitor. The problems arise when we put them into the timeline.
