1. Re: MTS file pointer problem - plays wrong clip in PP (?)
Colin Brougham Feb 3, 2011 9:54 AM (in response to EckleySP)They're probably spanned clips, meaning the recording duration is longer than the allowed filesize for AVCHD. Premiere reads the metadata in the AVCHD folder strucutre, and stitches them together. Your 00000.MTS clip contains all the footage from 00001.MTS and any other spanned clip.
Check the duration of 00000.MTS in Premiere, and then compare it to the duration of 00000.MTS in your media player. The media player will report a shorter duration, since it can't span the clip; Premiere is longer since it is stitching the files together in the background and represents them in the project as a single master clip.

Andrey V Feb 3, 2011 12:39 PM (in response to Colin Brougham)That is actually what happens in this format clips get stiched together by software provided with camera or third party codecs installed in the system. Premiere does not do that on its own. It is always good idea to use the software provided by camera manufacturer to stich clips and import them into pc.

This is incorrect. Premiere is indeed doing the "stitching," but it's virtual; one master clip points at multiple source files.
And it rarely makes sense to use the software provided by the camera manufacturer to stick a bunch of files together...
