My workflow for CD or mp3 imports: Import, highlight them all in the Project Bin, hit G, enter -10.

This can be done in Prelude with your complete master. You will have to mark the subclips but you can then export all the subclips from there. Build a custom subclip marker and at best you’d be appending the name of each clip with a number.
-
Try starting a new project in Prelude and relink there. Then just send the clips to PPro and all should be good.

Transfer (without transcoding) and rename at the same time with Prelude. The renamed clips will appear in your Prelude project and you Send To Premiere Pro from there. Then you’ll have renamed clips in the PPro project and a regular looking AVCHD structure on your drive.

How many unique entries did you make?

What I do doesn’t involve any transcoding at all. It just transfers it. Makes a copy of it. And because it’s created in its own new folder the metadata is unique to the new copies and thus doesn’t get confused with another clip of the same name/number. The metadata from the folder name differentiates it.

I’ve found the best way to organize AVCHD cards is with Prelude. From inside the Prelude ingest I pick selects (say, Interiors and Exteriors) and Transfer those shots, without transcoding to a Subfolder named what they are (in this case, Interiors or Exteriors). Prelude rebuilds an AVCHD file structure in this folder with just those selected shots. Now if import just a few shots into Premiere from that folder I can easily create a Smart Bin with the criteria “Interiors” and it will populate with only those shots. Yes, it’s still 00001.mts and on and on, but it’s very easy to see which 00001.mts I’m dealing with. And that metadata will keep that clip from being confused with any other 00001.mts clip I might be using.

Merge clip. Then subclip away.

The question isn’t always “is this the standard” the question is “should this CONTINUE to be the standard?”
Unless we’re talking about Creative Cloud and if that’s the case then Apple is right and Adobe is full of crap, right?

How long do you want the clips to be? You can do this in Prelude pretty quickly, but not in one step.
And you’re constrained by having to set subclip markers in 1 second increments.Say you want two second shots. 30 frames before the mark and 30 frames after. Set up your subclip marker for a 1 second duration. Find the frame you want, mark the subclip (tap 1 and enter description) and repeat for all your decisions. Then go to the Marker List and highlight the in point display for each clip and paste -30. This actually isn’t that cumbersome.
Right click on the Timecode window display to change the display to frames if that helps. Also, not a bad idea to make a Marker Template with a custom name so you can just number your clips instead of having to fully rename them.
