Angelo,

Thanks for the reply… I literally right-clicked the media bin inside premiere and imported the mts files. The files import and I am able to edit them without a problem.

My question is in regards to the industry standard procedures. Is it better to convert the files first to the desired format (for me its usually h264) using encoder or edit first and then export the edited version as h264 using encoder?

I may not be using the correct terminology and in turn confusing you but i hope i was clearer this time,

thanks for your time!
