Windows CS6 – No audio from .mts files

[Art Thomas]

OK, Finally I got mine to work. Here is what I did.

I have 1080p/60fps .mts files.

1) re-downloaded and installed CS6 trial from Adobe (probably not necessary)

2) open a new project and name it then press ok to go to preset screen

3) on preset screen, DO NOT select a preset. Instead, press “settings” tab on top of screen

4) At the “editing mode” prompt, press the down arrow. Select the mode you want.
I picked “AVCHD 1080p square pixel” (which is standard I think).

5)make sure the “timebase” prompt shows your frames per second. In my case I wanted 60, and it already showed 59.94.

6) Rename the Sequence if desired at bottom of screen and press ok.

Start importing.

Good luck!

Did this help anybody?

Unfortunately no. Renaming the files to .M2TS worked for me. I know it’s a pain, but it works.

Until there’s a better solution that’s what I have to do to hear the audio.

[Art Thomas]

Interesting Jake that there seems to be multiple solutions for the same problem. That’s what I call a severe bug. At least you found a work-around.

How do you get a preset for AVCHD? I googled but came up empty. Can you download more presets from Adobe somehow?

I’m having the same issue. Tried the m2ts trick; didn’t work. Tried following Art’s directions; didn’t work. My best idea right now is to use FCP7 to transcode everything to ProRes before importing into CS6. And that’s just stupid.

This is a KNOWN bug to Adobe. PLEASE, everyone with this issue go to:

https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

(This is Adobe’s bug report page)

and send Adobe something like “Long/spanned MTS (AVCHD) files cause hanging/freezing”

also, most are also complaining about “Audio RE-conforming” each time one of these projects opens, maybe send that as well.

Eternity…don’t miss it for the world.

Did anyone find a solution to this? The above mentioned don’t work for me. I downloaded PP again from Adobe and re installed and tried the MT2S rename but I still can’t drop a MTS files into a sequence with Audio?

As everyone says it works well in CS5.5 but not in CS6

When I drop the MTS file into CS5.5 it creates 3 Audio Tracks. I am new to MTS. my new camera uses them, but prior to that I was using AVI and MP4.

This is very frustrating as now I can’t use the footage from my new camera without going back to CS5.5 grrr.

What’s going on ADOBE? I downloaded the Update from their site too but no better.

Any help appreciated?

I found a solution (kind of…)
1. Import the clip into CS5.5
2. Do not edit it, just export it to a folder. BUT Audio ONLY!
3. Open SC6 and import the same clip into the new project. There will be no sound of course :(, drop it on the time line.
4. Import the audio file from the folder into the project. And drop it
on timeline. It will perfectly fit the original video clip. Done.

Hello,

The only solution I’ve found so far is using third party software. I simply extract the audio from Vegas.

If you work with a lot of clips, this is of course an unacceptable workflow. I hope this is fixed with the 6.0.2 update.

ive found that navigating to the files in windows explorer and then dragging them over to the project window one by one works. im not sure if it matters which order you drag them.
