I've just purchased a C100 after years of DSLR videography and I'm getting to grips with the new workflow. I'm a little confused by the AVCHD format.
Currently what I'm doing is connecting the camera to my laptop, dragging and dropping the AVCHD quicktime files from the SD card to the laptop.
Then I right click and select "show package contents", then right click BDMV and "show package contents".
Finally I go into STREAM where I find my video files and then drag those out onto my desktop. These files are in .MTS which I'm not familiar with before. Previously I would convert my files using mpeg streamclip into PRORES format - and this software doesn't recognise the .MTS format.
My question is: is this current workflow correct, and can I work with .MTS in Premiere or should I be converting to PRORES somehow?
