Sounds like you need to contact Caldigit for some troubleshooting help.
Do you have any backup in place?

Do the mts files import into Premiere ok? If so, then just use vlc or another app like switch for looking at those at the finder level until there’s an Apple quicktime fix.
And if you want vlc to be your default app to open these files just get info on one of the mts files and assign vlc to open it and then select change all.

I’m pretty sure many things on the show end up going down to the wire either in last minute re-write or edit so it doesn’t surprise me too much that he exported out right before air.

FWIW- I too shared that fear when I made the move from Mac to pc and that’s why initially I had both systems running simultaneously. I kept my mac in the loop with the thought that if things go haywire with the pc and I can’t figure it out I can fall back on what I Know and know well.
It’s now been over a year and I’ve never had to go back to the mac. I’ve had a few troubleshooting issues along the way with the pc but just with a mac it’s a simple matter of doing your homework to solve them.
I’m sure there’s endless pc horror stories out there but I don’t think it should be a factor in deciding to make the switch.

[Simon Ubsdell] “I think the one thing I will miss though is all the little ancillary utilities that I use everyday without thinking I’m even using them, and which are not always easy to replicate outside of the Mac world.”
that was one of my concerns initially as well. But since windows is by far the dominant platform worldwide there’s a large number of alternative apps and utilities. Even pro res can be created on windows but I’ve found that the need for anything quicktime related has evaporated due to there being equal if not superior alternative delivery options (i.e., DNxHD).

[Simon Ubsdell] “how you have chosen your system”
The process of switching from mac to pc was made much easier by the fact that I had a motion graphic artist friend who had built a custom PC for gaming and when I mentioned to him that I was interested in switching to PC he offered to sell me his system. He had multiple systems and so he was ok with parting with one. My friend had done all of the original work of finding the components and doing the initial build. In an earlier post in this thread Erik mentioned that gamers are driving the custom pc builds and I agree with that statement. A nice byproduct of gamers searching for the fastest possible system is that these same computers are ideal for video editing.
The custom built PC that I became owner of didn’t have thunderbolt 3 though. So I then did my own research to figure out how to add it and that led me to a new motherboard. My OS drive is a samsung 850 ssd and I added two more samsung 850 ssd’s, striped them together and that raid is my dedicated premiere render/cache location.
[Simon Ubsdell] “what types of media you are typically working with”
Most of the media I work with is from a Sony FS7 camera and it’s XAVC-I mode: 4K 23.98P VBR, bit rate 240Mbps. My media lives on an OWC thunderbay 12 terabyte raid. The thunderbay is actually thunderbolt 2 so I have an akitio TB2 to TB3 adapter.
[Simon Ubsdell] “what if anything you would do differently if you were to do it today. Or not.”
I wish I had a TB3 raid but at the time I was setting up my system TB3 raids were just getting onto the market and they were very pricey so it wasn’t an option. I can’t think of anything else that I’d change. I do wish there was a Windows equivalent of Softraid since it’s such a good raid monitoring program but after a long search I simply haven’t found a windows program that’s as thorough as Softraid.
[Simon Ubsdell] “are there applications that you use apart from Premiere that have give you issues?”
Other than the rare random Media Encoder render errors, this system has been very stable. I use Audition, Photoshop and AfterEffects regularly in addition to Premiere and all work without issue.
I think the biggest surprise after having been a dedicated mac user for over 20 years was how much I like working in the Windows environment. And I think a lot of that satisfaction comes from having a system that consistently works and which is very fast and responsive.

first step, roll back your Premiere to 2017. Next up, try to open the mts files in another player like vlc or switch. If they open without issue it’s probably an issue with quicktime.
