I have been lucky enough to get to use a Sony hxr-nx70u to shoot some footage for an educational video I am making as part of my undergrad. I have no experience with this camera or with videography in general other than what I've picked up while working on this one project for my undergrad!
I am noticing that once I get my .mts files onto Premiere Elements 15, the frame rate is very bad and almost seems to be buffering as I play the preview of my video..
This leads me to think that my settings are incorrect for the video type that the Sony hxr-nx70u produces.
Some info that may help:
- currently my settings are set to NTS-AVCHD-Full HD 1080i 30 (default)
- when I imported the videos onto my hard drive, I copied over both the .mts and the .cpi file for each video just in case. I only brought the .mts file into Premiere, the .cpi is there for the .mts file to reference within the folder they are stored in if that is necessary (like I said I am a little clueless about this?)
Please tell me how to ascertain from my video camera what settings I should use in Premiere to get the best results.
If you think that the settings are not what is causing this issue, please let me know.
