Hi Kevin,
Thanks for that. But won’t that change the filename? I’d like to keep those the same as it’s coming from P2.

Aha. I think I fixed it. The answer was here:
https://forums.adobe.com/message/4582134The trick is this – after editing/rendering – go to Project settings and turn off Mercury for the GPU. Choose *Keep Your Preview Files*. Then export, choose match settings, use previews, and it works.
I love it when a plan comes together.

Yeah, this is an issue with Mountain Lion. I was just dealing with this with some software used to sync second source audio and needed to get to it.
Mountain Lion treats AVCHD folders as a Package – which is essentially a folder of files, but treated differently by the Finder.
Here’s what you do:
1. In Premiere, Open the dialogue box to reconnect the video.
2. Go to the finder and open up the folder with the AVCHD media.
3. Right-click on PRIVATE – select Show Package Contents
4. Do the same thing for AVCHD
5. Do the same thing for BDMV
6. Now click on the STREAM folder in the Finder and drag it into the dialogue box back in Premiere. Select the first file that it is requesting.I just tested it and it worked for me.
On a side-note, I hate right-clicking on the AVCHD packages each time. I guess it’s nice that QT will play them, but it’s been at the expense of ease of use with other programs. In any case, I created a keyboard shortcut that works in the Finder so that Opt-Cmd-O will open Packages.
Go to System Preferences, then type Keyboard Shortcuts. Select Keyboard Shortcuts. Select Application Shortcuts. Hit the + button. Select “Finder” from the list of Applications. Then another dialogue box should pop up for the Finder. For Menu Title, type “Show Package Contents”. Then add opt-cmd-O for the shortcut (or whatever shortcut you prefer).

They said by end of year. So, I’ll start getting fidgety the last week of December.

Completely agreed on Adobe Media Encoder. It’s my new favorite (until it doesn’t do something I need it to do ;).

Hey guys, thanks for the responses. RAM should not be an issue for playback or scrubbing unless you are using After Effects. In software only mode, Mercury is utilizing the CPU more than ram. I’ve tried this on 1/2 and 1/4 and scrubbing is still very laggy. No other programs were running.
The issue I’m seeing is probably because footage is essentially Long GOP (even though it was shot in i-frame from hacked GH2) and it’s a core i5 laptop. To test this further, I rendered the entire timeline out in Adobe’s MPEG i-frame codec. It scrubbed fine then. Gotta be CPU speed.
Regarding JKL – um, yeah, I know JKL. 😀
My question was that I’d like to know whether or not you can pitch correct the audio during fast forward and rewind in Premiere. I like the way FCP pitch corrects audio during FF since you can still understand what is being said. Having done some searching on ‘da web, it looks like it’s a no-go. But still hoping there’s a way.

That was a great read. Amazing stuff.
I can see Premiere getting it’s hook on late night TV. Those editors will take it on to other projects in primetime and movies.

I just finished building my Hackintosh. Best of both worlds! Premiere CS6 is running so smooth on the mac side. Kona 3 works, too.
Until something breaks, I’m a very happy camper.

Export the project to a QuickTime file. I highly recommend adobe media encoder for compression. As for making the bluray you would then need to use adobe encore. Couldn’t tell you how long it will take.

Have you tried bringing footage into Premiere or Avid to see how the native files look out to a monitor?
Maybe you could transcode in another program to Prores if FCPX is having an issue. I used Adobe Media Encoder recently to transcode some AVCHD that was giving me guff in FCPX. It transcoded to Prores quite fast. Not sure if there will be any issues keeping it 10 bit and getting the best key, etc… So YMMV.
