What I do is, put in premiere pro the footage you need in a new sequence. Export it as .mov and import the film in AE. Works for me.

Thanks @Dennis Radeke .. That is the solution. I have indegst the project into Prelude. Never worked with that program before but I must say, what I did till now, I liked it. Easy to make subclips and comments. Thanks for pointing that out to me.
Just a little question (I thin it is off topic but anyway) What codec is the best. I now have use PRoRess 422 LT but the files are really big. The purpose of most of the films I make is for internet use. Can I use in prelude the H.264? Do you know something about this matter?

[Ann Bens] “The vg1 is an external microfoon, are you sure the camera can record two external sources at the same time.
“
Yes Ann, after a lot of testing (and pretty busy with work) I have to admit you were right! Seems indeed I didn’t recorded one track. The settings were wrong. Totally different. Still studying how to set it up. But it was not premiere pro which didn’t do the job. I was making the mistake. Thanks for getting me in the right direction.
Problem solved.

Yes, I did use my earphones and also looked at the LCD screen and there both of the lines were giving signals. The camera is brand new so as I had to shoot, I just took the automatic audio setting.
Plugged in the VG1 in channel 2 and the receiver of the small mic into channel 1. Isn’t that the right way?

I have the audio channels as “use File”. I can modify the track with the little mic to “stereo” . That sound is perfect, both audio are the same output, as it is copied and the sound is to hear only on one site. And it said there:
Source channel: left: Track audio 1: channel in track: Left.
Source channel: right: track “empty space” channel in track: right.

When I change it into Mono. I get left and right: audio 1, audio 2 but both Channel 1. Still output only one site.
Where is Channel 2. the camera mic? Still I am missing the total track of the gun-mic. It looks like PPr hasn’t import it.
As this is a brand-new camera I used the audio of the camera as automate, so I haven’t muted the camera mic. When recording, I saw both channels active on the LCD of the camera.

The AVCHD output is one large file. I copied the whole private folder to the computer Than imported in PPr via media browser, the file than is cut into smaller parts. The footages I wanted to use I selected and right clicked on it and imported it into my project. Than I put it on the timeline and it showed only 1 (stereo) track.
The audio I recorded it the same as I did with my other Sony camera (with tapes). When importing, I got one stereo track of the mic and one stereo track of the camera mic. Now just the little mic track. How can I check the AVCHD file how many audio track it has.

[Ine Feijen]

Yes, In channel 1 I have put the little mic and normally the onboard mic will take over the surrounding sound. I worked often with this sort of recording. And channel 1 and 2 gave out 2 different signals during recording.

Question.. how did you solve this?

FCP: sequence export. using quicktime conversion – options settings xdccam ex 1080i50 of xd cam hd 422 1080i50 of xccam hd 422 1080p25?
