Competely agree. AVCHD crashes my MacPro in Premiere and ProRes
stutters and crawls, as it appears, there is no optimization in Premiere for Quicktime intermediate codecs. -
Open your avchd files in VoltaicHD and export using ProRes format. It is just a quicktime format and Premiere will have no problem importing these.
Adobe Media Encoder also reads avchd but has trouble outputting it to Prores. There are no presets needed because you are just going to be using standard Quicktime Pro interface except Voltaic reads avchd, QTPro does not.
Or. you could just export to ProRes from the log and transfer panel in FCP.
It just outputs ProRes Qucktime files which Premiere will read. -
Here is a specific video tutorial that even mentions trying to emulate the 24 type pip effect.

No. If they are loaded in the AE plug folder, they will not be recognized by anything except AE.

There is no plug in folder for Premiere Mac.
It goes here:/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/CS4/MediaCore/ -
You could put it in the After Effects plug in folder which is in the same directory as the application. If you put it in the AE folder you will still be able to use it in After Effects and it will not load in AME. Dynamic link is the work around.

It kind of sucks that AME is so crash prone. I had a couple AE plugins that are supposed to work with Premiere in the “Commons” folder but had to move them to The AE Plugins folder because AME would crash while loading them from the Common folder. Which means I have to edit some stuff in AE using dynamic link when it would be easier to do in Premiere.
You should find the offending plugin and just make sure it is in the AE Plug folder. PPro CS4 Mac does not have a plug in folder. -
Premiere and After Effects CS4 Mac have no problem reading and working with files converted to Pro Res. You shouldn’t be getting an “unsupported file type” error as It is just a Quicktime codec.
The AME encoder doesn’t work well converting to ProRes as it tends to crash when batch encoding to ProRes or DNxHD. But for that I use Compressor or Voltaic if dealing with avchd source. -
Just hit command-f while in the finder. A search window pops up. Hit the + sign to add criteria, select “Other”. 2 dozen or more criteria choices will pop up. Select “File Visibility”. Then you can choose to search both visible and invisible items.

Thanks Eddie and Mike. That makes things a lot easier.
