Thanks for that Keith,
I did do a little bit of poo when I first read your response, but I have done some basic editing with the clipwrapped footage and it handles okay in PPCC. The native AVCHD never performed brilliantly in CS6 anyway. There was always a moment of no audio and panicking thinking I’d not recorded audio when it was redrawn and audible some time later.
I fear it may be too late to go back to the original AVCHD files anyway.
Do you know if they are still AVCHD underneath the .mov? (I have a very limited knowledge of how they actually work underneath the various file names etc. I know there are codecs and container files, but beyond that, not so much).
If the clipwrapped files are not performing well I guess my only option is to buy a huge hard drive and prores them all. (sigh)

Thanks, I copied everything to another location during the rename process.
Prelude copied and renamed the .movs from the 5D exactly as you suggested, but copied the AVCHD and kept the old indistinct names, despite me selecting the appropriate renaming options. You’re right, transcoding would have done it, but I didn’t want to make ProRes at that stage or potentially lose quality by transcoding my master files to another format.
Running the AVCHD files through clipwrap (making them .movs) and then renaming with Prelude CC and copying to another folder was the only way I could get it to work.
A peculiarity of AVCHD I’m guessing. Something to do with the folder structure. Before Prelude CC came out I tired renaming in bridge but that lost all association to the metadata within the AVCHD folder structure. I thought that Prelude would have a clever way of renaming and copying the files whilst keeping the timecode/metadata, but I think i’ve lost it all anyway. It’s not a big deal to me, but it’s certainly frustrating to loose those options straight away.

Thanks Morten. I eagerly awaited that function but it didn’t rename the actual AVCHD files. They were renamed within the Prelude CC project, but the actual files in the folders were still called the native camera filenames (in my case every card started at 0001). I’ll avoid using AVCHD again because it’s been a bit of a headache.

Thanks for that. I rewraped the AVCHD because I couldn’t rename the files. I’m collaborating on the edit and need the files to all have unique names. Even renaming files in Prelude CC leaves the files names called 0001/0002/0003 etc.

Many thanks Jon.

Hi Igor,

I’d gladly test WooWave:)

Hi Brendan,

I’m experiencing exactly the same problem as you described in this post. Could you please explain how the read and write issue was solved.

Thanks a lot.

Jonathan
