Premiere Pro CS6 not recognizing AVCHD .MTS audio
“Hi, there, I couldn’t get Premiere Pro CS6 to recognize audio on MTS videos, can you help please? I’m using the Canon Legria HF G10 for Wedding and personal videos, with PAL settings 50i (Interlaced) frames on the highest quality. But when I import the MTS clips into Premiere Pro CS6, I get a great video without voice. I could not find anything on Sony or Adobe support sites. Do I need third party software to convert the AVCHD MTS files to a format that will work with Premiere Pro CS6? Does anyone know the fix? Thanks.”
