So yes, covert your AVCHD files to MPEG2-bluRay
then import those to AE, do your animation, and export as MPEG2-BluRay, import that into
Premier, and export again as MPEG2-BluRay! =)
Good to go!

Both. Do your animation in AE then queue and export in MPEG2-BluRay
Open Premier, import that same file (it will be an MPEG2 file (m2v -mpeg.2.video. – no audio)
And do your editing in Premier, at this point you will be able to down convert and export to various formats but if your going HD or HD DVD (BluRay) then export in Premier as same MPEG2-BluRay,
This file will have no audio, but premier will ask you to export your audio in the export/render options.
So if your burning to a DVD disk or BluRay disk in a program like Titanium Toast (version 10 only – For HD/BluRay) it will ask you on import for the files at the burning stage, in Toast it asks if “is your audio file stored in a different location”, search find the audio file , and your ready to burn. and FYI you CAN use standard DVDs (as opposed to expensive BluRay disks to burn HD DVD (BluRay) material, but only like 30minutes to 1 hour depending on your .mbps. The recipient of the burnt disk will require a BluRay player to view. HAVE FUN!

I used Adobe Media Encoder CS4. Its pretty straight forward.
I believe iSkysoft iMedia Converter works as well.
I used the highest quality settings Quality of 5 @ 36 Mbps CBR (constant bit rate)
and it looked pretty damn good and geez they play and render FAST! No rendering
the previews on my system! Remember its the MPEG2-BluRay setting.
Good luck

Hello,
It took me 8 hours from Sat night through most of Sun to solve this dreaded problem, on my system at least (specs below) First off I’m shooting with a Panasonic AG-HMC40 in 1080i, importing AVCHD (that should have been an indication from the beginning with the taxing decomp.) into AE CS4.
I tried exporting a plain clip without any effects from AE just to see if it was the plugins, no go, stuttering. I tried to export in every imaginable format, down conversion etc, no go, stuttering.
I initially was using AE for the BCC Kaleida (kaleilascope effect) and thought it might be that plug in, it was not. So… after all the frustration I decided to convert my ACVHD files into MPEG2- BluRay files.
and low and behold, even thought the MPEG2-BluRay files were larger… IT WORKED! NO STUTTERING ANYMORE! In fact, my preview and RAM pre-renders in AE flow and look great without hesitation.
Long story short? I believe the CPU, even though with 16gigs of RAM, didnt like the conversion from the timeline. So I would recommend some type of conversion “more native” to your system.
I hope this helps.
