1. Re: Duplicate Clips appears in recorded media files
Richard M Knight Mar 30, 2013 1:56 AM (in response to chande a k)I used to have this problem with EX clips. If a single take video was spanned across several files, Premiere imported each file with the complete footage. This seems to have been fixed in the latest Premiere version. Are you using media browser to import the clips? I find this works best for spanned files.

2. Re: Duplicate Clips appears in recorded media files
chande a k Mar 30, 2013 7:16 AM (in response to Richard M Knight)Thank you Richard, I think you have missed my point...
I am on Premiere CS6., clips where Imported through Media Browser., and it shows total duration as 06:33:23:13 ., in Media chip it show that out of 32 Gb capacity of SanDisk it has used only 21.1 Gb
clip No.00069.Mts is repeated three times in MEDIA CHIP ITSELF how this can HAPPEN
clip 00070.MTS, clip No. 00071 and also clip No.00072 with same Duration and same VIDEO content
One thing more in Premiere Project and Timeline all the above 4 clips shows Duration of each clip as 01:25:17:07
actually 1 st clip of the above 4 clips, that is clip no. 00069 if of the duration of 01:25:17:07 that is perfetly correct...
but in the Drive folder where I have downloaded this clips .,
It surprisingly shows duration of clip as 00:26:20 and file size as 3.99Gb and this is not correct duration of the clip
Please can somebody throw any light on this happening... HOW clips are repeated in MEDIA CHIP itself...?

JSS1138 Mar 30, 2013 11:14 AM (in response to chande a k)It does look like operator error here.
You start by transferring over the entire PRIVATE folder from the SD card to you hard drive. Do not do anything other than copy. Do not rename, move or delete anything inside the PRIVATE folder.
In Premiere Pro, use the Media Browser to navigate to that PRIVATE folder and dig down a level or two until the clips show up. Done this way, you will only see the first file of any spanned clips, PP will not even show you the other files, let alone import them. So if you're seeing them inside of PP, it means you didn't follow the proscribed work flow.

chande a k Mar 30, 2013 6:00 PM (in response to JSS1138)Thank you Jim for trying to identify what is going wrong and where..?
Direct reading from SD Card.. it shows clip no. 00069 duration 00:26:20 file size 3.99 GB... Clip No.00070 duration 00:26:25. file size 3.99 GB.. clip No. 00071 duration 00:26:24 filesize 3.99 GB.. clip No. 00072 duration 00:06:06 file size 945 MB. all these 4 clips contains same Video. and audio
My question is how these clips have been repeated in Recording Media itself... and why they show different duration..?

JSS1138 Mar 30, 2013 6:24 PM (in response to chande a k)You're looking at the clips in Windows Explorer. I'm not sure how that applies to Premeire Pro.

6. Re: Duplicate Clips appears in recorded media files
chande a k Mar 30, 2013 10:40 PM (in response to JSS1138)I have also posted screen grab of Premiere time line and this shows duplicate of clip no. 00069 but it is also sequencial.
Anyhow my Workflow is . I copy AVCHD folder from SD Media., and paste in one of my Hard Disk Drive., In premiere I generally Import STREAM folder. In Project panel I select all clips, right click on them and choose NEW SEQUENCE FROM CLIP and I have never faced this problem.
I still can't understand how VIDEO Clips are repeated in Media itself

Jeff Bellune Mar 31, 2013 5:02 AM (in response to chande a k)When you say "import the STREAM folder", do you use Pr's Media Browser? If not, that's how you should be importing the clips -- not by using the File>Import command or dragging and dropping from Explorer.

That's because you didn't follow the proper process as outlined in post 3. Start over, and follow that carefully.

9. Re: Duplicate Clips appears in recorded media files
chande a k Mar 31, 2013 11:59 PM (in response to JSS1138)Thank you Jeff, Jim for guiding me to proper procedure to Import Clips through Pr's Media Browser.. But since I did not encounter this problem earlier I was following File>Import procedure..I am importing entire Stream Folder is it right or I should select clips only and Import
Anyhow please note that even after Importing via Pr's Media Browser things does not change. Now I think fault may be in my Panasonic AG-AC 120EN camera, as clips are repeated in Media Itself. I have written Detailed letter to Panasonic. Let me see what reply I get from Panasonic people. Thank you all once again for helping

JSS1138 Apr 2, 2013 5:11 PM (in response to chande a k)I am importing entire Stream Folder
Don't do that. Don't use any other method than the one described in post 3. Use only that method. Start over if you have to. Done that way, you will not have this issue.

chande a k Apr 2, 2013 1:49 AM (in response to JSS1138)Jim Thank you very much for explaining me proper procedure to Import clips.
now every thing is in order. I was little worried as to how clips are repeated in Media Itself..
But looking coollly., I found that media does show exact correct duration of each clips.
Culprit was my wrong procedure and imported spanned 4 clips were getting merged., and hence showing extended duration
Thank you once again
