Adobe Premiere CS4 & AVCHD help!
Discussion
Hi there,
I bought a Sony HDR-SR12 camcorder the other week and we're really pleased with it so far.
I also bought Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and I'm looking for a bit of advice...
I can create all the time lines etc and set everything up fine, however, when I come to importing it into Adobe Encore it seems to remove all the audio from the original premiere project. Any ideas why it is doing this?
Info:
1) I am importing the premiere pro file into encore by going to file - adobe dynamic link - import premiere pro sequence
2) The audio is in 5.1 format
3) It burns the DVD fine (with no sound) and takes about 16 hours to transcode and burn (I think this is normal for AVCHD files as they are huge?)
4) It does have an audio section in the timeline which I have fiddled with and definitely isn't muted or switched off.
If anyone can help or know of anywhere else that I could ask then please let me know!
Thanks
CT

If I was you, I would output the file you have played with from Premiere as an MPEG2 DVD file - it should be a preset within the Adobe Media Encoder output settings. This should produce a separate video and audio file which you can then import into Encore. Once in Encore, this audio file should need transcoding, but you are asked to do this before exporting.
Also - you say that the audio is in 5.1 - are you sure it is? because you usually need an advanced Video Editing Card that can handle the output of high quality video and layered sound. If you don't need it to be in 5.1 then re-output the file from Premiere with normal stereo sound, as Encore and Premiere aren't too fond of upmixing your audio.
If none of this helps then get back in touch and I'll try and help further.

I tested it with a smaller file and its working perfect, not to fussed about the 5.1 audio as long as there is some audio on there once wrote to the DVD.It's saying it will take 25 hours to encode to MPEG2, original files are around 30gb and once encoded they will be around 4gb, 1 hour and 5mins. Would you say that it is normal for it to take that length of time?
It does sound a long time, but I'm assuming this is HD footage and you don't have a video capture card such as Matrox, Avid or similar? If its a standard PC (albeit a fast one) then this amount of time would be correct as your processor is having to work very, very hard to compress your .avi data to MPEG 2. What are the dimensions and resolution of your original files and the intended MPEG2?

Yeah, that sounds about right, it's a good spec laptop, definitely won't have a video capture card. It is exported to: 720 x 576 from: 1440 x 1080. The original files are .mt2s files. It's no problem really, I will only be doing one DVD every few months anyway.Thanks for the advice!
