Which Sequence Preset Please Help

Aug 6, 2012 5:23 PM

Tags: #help #mpeg #codec #sequences

I'm making a small video for my internship and using adobe Premiere.

 

I've however run into a few problems. The camera was outputing video in AVCHD(.mts) files which where not working.

 

I've nowstarted to convert the files into different formates. But I'm unsure of what squence preset to use given the file type. currently I have a file that is:

 

Type: MPEG Movie

File Size: 62.5 MB

Image Size: 640 x 480

Pixel Depth: 32

Frame Rate: 30.00

Source Audio Format: 44100 Hz - compressed - Stereo

Project Audio Format: 44100 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo

Total Duration: 00:05:00:02

Average Data Rate: 213 KB / second

Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0

 

I however think it may be a better idea to convert them to AVI but when i try to import the AVI files i get a ERROR:

 

Codec missing of unavailable.

 

What is the best Preset Sequence to use with the MPEG files?

 

Please help!

    Please NOTE that the PPro CS6 screen may look a bit different

    For CS5 and later, the easy way to insure that your video and your project match

    I'd take a step back and rethink that conversion.  The new file format is far from ideal.

    Well that's certainly more compatible with the original.

    @Jim Simon - perhaps I should just create a new discution but I've noticed that all of the coverted files audio / video is slightly off I'm currently usinga  free converted I've downloaded and do not want to pay for the full vertion assuming the convertions are still "off" what video converter would you recommend for altering AVCHD(.mts) files to a format that my PP 5.0.4 can deal with? It's currently only a trial version so I know that also has its limitations.

    I honestly don't recommend converting.  Use the originals.

     

    This does mean paying for a licensed copy.
