Premiere Pro CS6 Not Playing Audio In AVCHD Video Files.

[Guest]

  Hello everyone.

  I am creating a video for a school project. I have signed out a camera from my school's Media services department. They gave me a Canon HD camcorder, which records video ONLY in AVCHD format. On the computer, the file is a .MTS file. It playes perfectly fine in Windows Media Player, video and audio, but when I import it into to Premiere, I loose my audio. The audio bar does'nt show up, as if it's just a vide file with no aaudio attached in it. I need the audio, and I'm completely lost as to what to do. I have tried the software that came with the product, it didn't help at all. I tried a few other things as well, all without sucess. How would I be able to edit my video WITH audio?

P.S. In the timeline, the video comes up as a Purple bar, I don't know if that helps any. It is also labeled Purple in the footage bin.

Thank you for helping me with this issue!

Thanks!

Copy the entire folder structure from the card, intact, to your hard drive.  Then use the Media Browser inside of Pr to import the clips.

You need to copy the entire folder structure from the memory in your camera onto the hard drive in your computer.

Then use the media browser in Premiere to navigate to your video (mts) files - they will be the only ones which will show - and import these.  your files should then play with both audio and video - unless you have spanned clips, which can be problematic.

Whoops - cross post with Jeff

Thank you both for your responces. I have read everything on the links that John posted, and I have done everything that both you, and the other links told me to do. Nothing has changed. I am still getting the exact same problem I was getting before. No audio. Either I'm not doing it right, or there is something wrong in the technical side.

Upload a clip.  I can test it here.
