Audio works fine. Any solutions?

[DR - Eric, a couple of thoughts for you.

1 - Might you have changed the views to audio only in the source and program views. There is a button in each near the transport controls which allows you to determine what you show (video, audio, scopes).
2 - trash your preferences. In PC it should be under user documents>Adobe>Premiere Pro. In Mac, it should be user folder>Adobe>Premiere Pro... at least that's what my memory tells me... Hope this helps.]

I have a trial version of After Effects and although the Adobe website says AE can import AVCHD, I’m assuming that like Premier, the trial version can’t import AVCHD but the purchased version can. Is this correct?

And all the posts I’m finding on the internet have people saying that AVCHD stutters in AE or doesn’t output correctly. Has this been fixed? Do I need to convert AVCHD before importing?

[DR – Hi Nick, there are no real issues with AVCHD into After Effects that I am aware of. You can drag AVCHD footage to the new comp button and start working.

AVCHD is an extremely CPU intensive decode, so performance is one of the issues that any native editing application will deal with in the short term. However, like MPEG2 before it, AVCHD will over time become an easier editing experience. If you find that it’s too difficult for you or your system, one option is to convert the AVCHD footage to P2 with Panasonic’s AVCHD to P2 conversion software

Thanks!
