Are you a Canon Vixia HF R20 owner? If so you may meet some troubles when you import the AVCHD MTS files to Premiere Pro CS5.5 for editing on Mac OS X. Below is a question I found in a forum.
Hello, I am new on Adobe forums and I need a question answered. I have seen that there is no definite answer on how to import .mts files from my Canon Vixia HFR20 to Premiere Pro CS5.5. I get "The file has an unsupported compression type" message. I bought the camera mainly for the HD, so help soon would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in Advance.
