What is the best workflow for Sony AVCHD clips?
As a newbie to PP, I don’t think I really understand Prelude, but when I “Ingest” the roll folders of media (already transferred on to my media drive, so “Transfer Clips to Destination” is unchecked) containing my Sony AVCHD files (FS-700??) with this type of file structure:
Roll_X_date_h_m_s
…>Private
……>AVCHD
……>SONY
…>AVF_INFOI get a lot of error messages because it was trying to import things in the structure that aren’t clips (makes sense) and then it gives me a bin with the clips in it. There are no folders or maintained file structure best I can see. And worse, I have multiple clips with the same name (“00000.MTS” x 7), no folder name appended to the file name, etc., to distinguish the clips.
If I import directly in Premiere Pro CC using Media Browser, I get multiple clips with the same name. Not what I want.
I’d prefer to have all the clips converted to ProRes and prepended with the folder name and date. This is a snap in FCP7 using Log & Transfer. It prepends and drops the ProRes clip into the bin in the project with a unique name. And that’s some old software doing that.
What is the best workflow to get unique descriptive names for the clips into PPCC?

Currently I don’t hear any sound from the ingested files. Do I have an ingest error or are the source files really like that? Where else can I confirm the integrity of the original clip?

Prelude.

You also could use Media Encoder to encode those clips to ProRes, use a manual folder structure and/or use Automator to batchrename your clips depending on different settings.

And you can do all of that and more from inside Prelude. Multiple encodes to multiple bitrates to custom folders that show up as bins that populate a PPro project with one click.

Hello,
I have a brand new… second hand Sony A7… Pics are nice, Movie Mode also !
But when I wanted to edit in premiere…No audio…The clips don’t have audio track at all…
I found a solution there for mac user :
Re-wrap AVCHD clips to Quicktime in no-time – EOSHD
Using Media Converter to re-wrap .mts in .mov . You’ll have to download an extension to do that. Operation is almost immediate.
It’s free…opensource…
Just to remind Panasonic has made a free plugin to read .mts file on a mac, in quicktime…

This time NO good point for Sony and Adobe…
Have to use Panasonic plug to read Sony file…and to download freeware to use Adobe’s sold soft…
I’m sure both of them will do something soon !
