Does DaVinci Resolve 14 import AVCHD/MTS files with audio?

Hi to all.

I just wanted to ask if DaVinci Resolve 14 avchd/mts file compatible? Does it import it with audio? I'm going to be practicing with my old Panasonic GM1 at least until Sony comes out with an updated a7s camera.

Just want to know so I can study ffmpeg if Davinci Resolve 14 cannot import.

Thank you very much

This is not possible as far as I know. I remember a thread where the explanation was basically it is not a high end or professional format, neither an optimal one for editing. So you'll need to extract the audio, or you could try transcoding your files to something more friendly for resolve (DNxHD ro ProRes for instance).

you can easily do this with ffmpeg:

convert to wav:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i path/to/your/file -acodec pcm_s16le -ar 48000 -ac 2 path/to/new/wav/file.wav

convert to DNxHD (change the bitrate "-b:v", size "-s" and framerate "-r" depending on your needs):

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i path/to/your/file -c:v dnxhd -b:v 60M -s 1280x720 -pix_fmt yuv422p -r 24000/1001 -c:a pcm_s16le -ar 48000 path/to/new/move/file.mov

convert to DNxHD (change the quality profile "-profile:v" and frame rate "-r" depending on your needs):

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i path/to/your/file -c:v prores_ks -profile:v 3 -pix_fmt yuv444p10 -r 24000/1001 -c:a pcm_s16le -ar 48000 path/to/new/move/file.mov

The easiest is of course just extracting the audio and editing with your existing mts files.

AVCHD imports into Resolve 14 with no problems at all, including the audio.

The ability to import AVCHD with Dolby sound was added in 14, and was not in earlier versions. It probably only works on Windows 8 and 10 and not on Windows 7, but Windows 7 is not recommend for Resolve 14 anyway.

Hi,
Capable of importing an AVCHD + EAC3 7.1.
The 8 channels are perfectly recognized.

W10
V14.1 and V14.1.1

Nice, I apologize Philip. I haven't tried since 12.something. So good to know it's possible now. Using intermediate formats will always help though.

Hi Orlando,

Everything was noted in the releases notes. (also try between 2 important projects ... )

Having an issue with my Canon Vixia connected to Resolve. Using a Macbook Pro. It just doesn't show up in the Camera Import area. Any ideas?

I Have Sony A7 + Linux Mint 19 x64 + DAvinci 16.0.0B17 GPU1 - GTX 1060
I Cannot Add AVCHD/MTS format - i get only MEDIA OFFLINE error message.
Original video format encoded.
Кодек: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (h264)
Video resolution: 1920x1080
Частота кадров: 59,940060
Кодек: A52 Audio (aka AC3) (a52 )

And i Cannot get SOUND for writing. In converted video sound unfortunately not PCM .

How many years i must wait and what i must do to get working sound and normal Import.

I can try Aisesoft MTS converter to get DNxHD format compactible to Davinci ( why they cannot automatically use system to encode video? ffmpeg exists in any Linux system?).
In Random Youtube help video someone tells that program fixes Davinci 16 !BUG! and allow him use MTS video and use SOUND.
Encoded video format have
Кодек: DNxHD (AVdn)
Video resolution: 1920x1080
Кодек: MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a) (!!!) NON PCM!

I see EMPTY SOUND line. line exists, green and EMPTY.
No any sounds. !

How to keep sound, i thinking if apply sound from another program like Avidemux ->
Be dissonance video with audio and missynchronization speech

For Science lessons and lector it be bad.

Please tell anyone normal converter to import AVCHD/MTS with audio to Resolve?

I try - Total video converter - Brak formatu. Quicktime imported only without sound
Aiseesoft MTS converter - converts only video to DXtdn (hard to remember name of format)
and audio is Mpeg2, not PCM, and cannot change to PCM.
Avidemux cannot change this format (no allow encode sound)

Bad program, no work - it maybe requires Microsoft .NET Framework.
