I have a bunch of avhcd files that plays fine in quicktime, but when I import to FCP there is not sound.
Intermitten there are a few second showed in the timeline. I'm pretty shure that this worked before with ealier versions of FCP. I'm running Sonoma 14.6.1. on a M1 Mac. FCP version is 10.8.
How to solve this ??
I have tried to reboot/reset references
This is the file:
MacBook Pro 13″
I have "always" taken the "steams" file from the structure and copied them to my HD.
I cant see the different to have the whole structure or not.
I pretty sure that this is a new behaviour from FCP. Quicktime having no problem playing the video with sound.
"All" my other Video editors having no problems with the file taken from the structure. Only FCP does not work.
However, if I drag many files to the timelline, one or two clips many show part of the sound. Few seconds.
I can offcourse convert them with handbrake, which I have tried, but I have GB's and tons of files. And Handbrake spin my CPU to very high temperature :-( and takes loooong time to convert. My "meta" data (date/time file timestamp) from the files will also be changed, and this is probably my biggest problem.
Most AVCHD are .mts files. When they’re imported from the card structure into FCP they are rewrapped to QuickTime. Do not use the .mts files in FCP. The application can play them back but they should not be used in FCP unless imported properly or rewrapped with EditReady or converted.
hey, I don't have the structure, as theese file are imported years ago on a windows machine that opened up the structure directly. And they are for many different cameras over time.
What pussles me is that QT can play the file just fine ... ??
The files are .mts file as just described. But my files are timestamped when they where imported and converting them with ie. handbreak will destroy my whole video library..
Do I really need to switch to Davinci to solve this :-(
You should never have these files separate from the folder structure.
As they are now, you may need to convert them. Try using HandBrake.
All the mts import problems has been resolved by Apple :-) Thank You
Version 10.8.1 fixes this problem
FCP import avchd files does not import sound
