Yes, that helps. Probably the best is to start with hosting some video’s on our pages and see how it goes. Now I have to figure out as well what the best settings are to keep the file size small. I must be putting my setting too high because a 47 second sequence ended up in Flash as a 60 Mb .flv file; choosing H264 I ended up with a 140 Mb .MP4 file. Back to running through tutorials again.

This seems to be an existing bug. Exactly the same thread on an Adobe forum. What #$#@ me off is that in the other (Adobe) thread the experts keep saying something is wrong in what we amateurs do.

Seems one option is to download and keep the entire directory structure including all associated file and folder structure when capturing/copying miniDV tapes. Delete or move one file and you are up the creek. If you only have the .mts file, you must have done something wrong.

Which is bull. I renamed several .mts files already and can play these files with video AND audio without problem on WMP and several other players. Even in PP CS6 in media browser and after importing it in the source window it works with sound. Things only go wrong when going from source to sequence.

According the other thread, these same files worked without problem in CS5.5, but in CS6 this step suddenly causes problems. So this is clearly something in CS6 but the experts keep saying something else has to be wrong or I should re-instal CS6. I installed everything properly, it is working with all other files, I do NOT want to reinstall programs or downgrade to CS5.5 (which I do not have) to solve a problem Adobe should fix or explain a useful workaround.

I have the same problem. I have a mixed bag of footage, including some .avi (Sony HDR SR10 handycam) and .mts (Sony DCR-HC85). MTS is a pain. When I import through media browser or direct file import, I have Video AND audio. When I then try to bring the footage from source into sequence, the audio is gone. In some cases, I see some audio appearing BELOW the Master line, including a warning that “this clip does not match the sequence’s setting”, with the options keep or change settings. If I change the settings, the audio moves from below the master to Audio 4 and I have audio.

Strange thing: the Audio mixer shows below as names Audio 1 through 4 and most left is master. However, on top, it shows audio 1 through 3 with a drop-down menu set on “master” and a radio turning knob. The fourth (below mentioned as audio 4) has the drop-down menu but no radio knob. Then the fifth has nothing on top but is below mentioned as master??

Tried some other source clips that earlier did not work. Now they work, but all are putting audio in this audio 4 track.

Does this help an expert figuring out what happened?

To give an update:
Exported footage into H264 format gave me an .mp4 file of 24 Mb
Exported footage into MPEG4 format, which gave me a .3gp file of 2.5 Mb.

I was actually looking for how to export so it would end up as .3gp file, found it by accident because I thought that as alternative I might try MPEG4.

The problem is that these videos are part of a pilot project on how to present tourist information through mobile content, virtually all in text and image form. The organization running it allows uploading MPEG, WMV, and AVI. When trying this, all failed, so I am now working with them to go around that.

Any comment on this is welcome.

Dear Chris and Jeff,

Thanks for the response. I am a bit away from internet nowadays, so replies can be late. What I did as suggested is just capture it in projects, and in the end move the footage to easy sortable folders and
deleting everything else.

As to scene detect, the footage I am capturing was made by amateurs (including myself), so sometimes there is a few minutes unrecorded space between shots and sometimes the rewind-then record goes on top of earlier shots. In the end, I found it easier to just tape-capture and if PP stops because there is empty space, make a new clip name and continue. Sorting I will do once all is on PC and the tapes saved.

Great, thanks.

If now somebody would come up with an answer to the original post that would really make my day (I hope).
