    Premiere Pro CS4 and m2ts files nightmare

    RGracia Community Member

      It seems I am constantly tiptoeing around the m2ts file format and PP CS4. When we first installed the app as part of a master colection for mac, we were able to edit, import and add clips from a Canon VIXIA HG-21 but as soon as we updated PP to 4.2.1, we are now having problems. This is the second computer that we have issues with when it comes to this file format and PP CS4. I am attching a screenshot of the problem.

       

      The videos can be previewed and sound comes through fine; I can select in and out points, add them to the library and to the sequence, but when playing back inside PP we get a green distiortion on the video, when we pause it, it goes away, when we export the sequence with the portion of the m2ts clip included it plays correctly (no distortion on exported media) just when editing and authoring the video clip. Any suggestions are welcome.

       

      I have already confirmed that reverting back the installation to 4.0 brings all back to normal and the update is what breaks it, just want some ideas on what to do to resolve the problem permanently without reinstalling Master Collection again. It's such a waste of time.
