Hi- I need to buy a new video camera right away for a project. I'm considering the Sony HDR-CX160, but I have an important question- will Premiere 4 allow me to import and work with MPEG4-AVC/H.264 AVCHD files?
If not, do you think it would be reasonable to get this camera anyway and convert my files to AVIs first, (will that degrade the picture quality?) or does someone have a better suggestion? I need to purchase this asap (pre 2012) for tax reasons.
Thanks!
