Lance, thank you for this post. You were right — others can benefit from this advice.
A friend has just shared MTS files w me (via a file-sharing drop box service). I have not used MTS files before in Premiere Pro CC 2015.
We are both unskilled amateurs.
Q’s:
Should I ask him for higher-level folders rather than only files?
Will I have problems using the MTS files in a Pr project full of MOV files?
