| Here's a tip for all of you that bought an AVCHD Camcorder and want to edit the footage in Premiere without first rendering it to an intermediate codec.
Tools nedded: Avisynth - Intsall PremiereAVSplugin - Copy the "IM-Avisynth.prm" in to the Premiere plugins folder. For Premiere Pro 2, thats: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0\Plug-ins\en_US *You'll also need an AVCHD directshow codec installed. If you don't have one, you can use the latest QTalternative * You'll also need to install Haali Media Splitter. 1) Create a script like this: DirectShowSource("myclip.MTS") #use the name of the clip 2) Import the AVS script into Premiere just like any other asset. It will show as Sqare pixels by default. Just Right-click on the AVS script and choose "Interpert Footage" Change to "anamorphic 1440 x 1080". 3) Edit at will............. I tried it with some downloaded clips from a Panasonic AVCHD Camera. It works fine on my AMD 3800x2. Slight stuttering, but nothing major............. |

| I guess you have found it by now but you download the PremiereAVSplugin from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=105017&package_id=116722 |

| Using premiere cs3
Almost have it working I think but have a few problems with this article maybe someone can help. I followed the above info installed Avisynth installed PremiereAVSplugin and the IM-Avisynth.prm installed Haali media splitter. Only part that didnt make sence and I couldnt find more info on was the AVCHD direct show codec install. Where can I find this? It didnt quite work. I made a script to my shot with AVSedit and imported it. I got an error message: Avisynth configuration error old avisynth version please do a fresh install at a recent version of avysynth I close the error message and the clip comes in black I right click and interpret footage and the only option is HD anomorphic 1080 (1:33) The clip is still blank although it shows up in premiere. Uneditable. 1st question: When I set the project I have a HD folder but no presets for it. Do I need to set a custom setting for the project. the only presets that I have are the standard NTSC PAL standard stuff. Are there presets out there for the AVCHD projects 2nd Question: What is the error message? did I miss a step or forget a plugin 3rd question: If all goes well one day and this works and I edit some stuff what are the options now for exporting, burning to disc, etc etc. 4th question: my clips are m2ts clips does this change anything? As you can tell Im a newbie at this but willing to learn. Thanks in advance for the help. |

| tested above method with CS3 and it worked like a charm. About version problem (question number 1 above), reinstall avisynth with newer version (i used aug08) and it disapears.
very good solution for those who dont want to work with vegas and dont want to go thru all the conversion problems (space and time). tks! |
