Always facing problems while trying to transfer AVCHD videos into After Effects CS6 for further editing:

"I am trying to edit a lot of footage, which are .MTS files. When I import MTS into After Effects CS6, there is no Audio, even in Premiere. I cannot convert the footage, as it will take too long because there is over 250 clips."

Did you meet this problem before? Have you ever considered how to solve the problem? This article will give you some tips on editing AVCHD videos in After Effects CS6 smoothly. Follow on.

Although Adobe After Effects says it supports AVCHD video, when loading AVCHD files to After Effects CS6 (CS5.5/CS5), you will find that audio/sound information from AVCHD files can not be recognized. And even a less than 5 minutes AVCHD clip only can be scrubbed over the first few seconds, afterwards it stalls or mixes in frames from the beginning of the clip. In fact, AVCHD , a high-definition recording video format is so higly compressed that cannot be afforded by most NLEs including After Effects CS6. Then how can we transfer AVCHD videos to After Effects CS6 for smooth editing?

The easiest workaround is to transcode AVCHD videos to After Effects CS6 compatible video format-MPEG/MOV(AVC) by a professional third party program. At this stage, Brorsoft MTS Converter for Mac is highly recommended to you which help me a lot. With it, users can convert AVCHD videos into MPEG/MOV(AVC) for After Effects CS6 easily.

Q2: Nikon MOV After Effects CS6 render issues

“I use my D5100 for a 365 video project. The files out of camera look fine viewed in QucikTime or WMP. When I started editing the Nikon MOV files in AE CS6, I noticed there is a green/magenta posterization that occurs. How can I edit Nikon MOV fin After Effects without the issues?”
