Took my hacked GH2 for my first serious shoot, now i have great MTS files.

I have creative cloud and need to get my files into Premiere but want to maintain the quality as previous tests import always resulted in a drop of quality.

I have followed Andrews's guidance from his book for exporting from Premiere! But what about working in premiere? is there any settings for the workflow?

Thanks

Well.

In CS 5.5 choose settings under DSLR.

At this point, I usually pick a framerate that matches most of my clips and make a sequence where I preview files.
Then, I make sequences for any other type of "task" (clips that I need to tweak in AE for instance). By all means, match the framerate to the clip's original value!

And You cut it. I reccomend You check some of the plugins as:

• Re:vision De:Noise (post denoiser that works quite well - slow thouqh, therefore, it's the last thing I do with clips)
• ProDad Mercalli (best video stabilization plugin I've stumbled upon, forget "Warp Stabilizing" in After Effects)
• Magic Bullet Looks and Magic Bullet Instant HD (Uprezzing 720p to 1080p for instance)

Sorry for the delay but been out all week, but today when using Premiere i found that the reason i was gettign such poor quality was because the video was being played back at 1/2 resolution.

Thanks

PPCS6 doesn't import the audio with my .mts video clips. whyyyy

[jemjemjem]

Yes iam having the same problem. Where is the audio?

[riogrande100]

Im not sure but i am using Quantum X codec and i get both video and audio! Have you checked to see if the camera is recording the audio?

The audio is there. Vegas handles the footage just fine.

I tried both Quantum 9b and the Vanilla Hack. There is no audio track when I drag the .mts footage into the timeline.

But works perfectly fine on CS5.

I believe CS6 trial version does not import MTS audio properly.
For now, you can just use 5dtoRGB to convert the files to ProRes, if you are using Mac that is.
