Convert Canon XA35 Full HD AVCHD/MP4 videos to Premiere Pro CS6

Summary: This guide is about how to transcode Canon XA35 Full HD AVCHD/MP4 videos to a editable format by Premiere. Please take few minutes to read it, then your will get the way to edit AVCHD/MP4 videos in Premiere Pro smoothly.



Hi. Whenever I import my AVCHD footage from Canon XA35 to Premier Pro CS5 for editing, all I get is the audio, no picture at all. Even when I try to play it from monitor source, still no audio. Please help!

I believe there are many Canon XA35 users have the similar problem. Before giving the solution, let’s find out the cause to the problem. Canon XA35 Full HD is encoded as AVCHD format with MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec. AVCHD is a ‘version’ of the MPEG-4 AVC specification, or H.264, though Premiere Pro CS5 claims it supports AVCHD, but it doesn’t have the ability to handle AVCHD files natively, so the no picture problem happened. The most suitable format for Premiere Pro CS5 is MPEG-2. MPEG-2 format can be recognized by all Adobe video editing applications.

The first solution to the problem is to upgrade Premiere Pro CS5 to the latest version – Premiere Pro CC which is able to support AVCHD files better. If you think Premiere Pro CS5 is good enough to edit videos, and don’t want to upgrade Premiere, I suggest you to convert Canon XA35 Full HD AVCHD files to MPEG-2 format, so that you can edit AVCHD videos in Premiere Pro smoothly. 

Here I recommend a professional AVCHD converter for you - Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac. This program can not only convert Canon XA35 Full HD AVCHD or MP4 files to MPEG-2, but also transcode AVCHD/MP4 files to other video editing applications on Mac, like iMovie. Meantime, it also can merge several AVCHD videos into one file. If you want to know more about this software, please review Top 5 Best HD Video Converter for Mac
