I'd love to hear any experience folks have editing large amounts of native AVCHD footage from an AF100 in FCPX or Premiere. Has this been successful for anyone?

thanks.
 
Never had a problem in Premiere with AVCHD native footage. CS5 thru to CC2014 versions.

Large amounts of footage need a decent File and Folder naming routine.
Reason : each new card contains the same filenames starting from 0000.mts.....

I copy 'Private" contents on each card into its own Folder on the Local Hard drive named Rushes1, Rushes2, Rushes3 etc ( for example)

I then ingest them to Premiere Project Bin Folders using same name for each Folder.
 
I rewrap the files for cutting in FCPX using an app called Clipwrap, really quick and easy to use, worth a look
 
I Create Folders to hold the rushes on the Local Drive and in the Project Bin.

No renaming involved.
I never rename the mts files except for special circumstances.
 
Thanks for the tip - I will try clipwrap and see how that works. Any thoughts on how this method holds up when you are using large amounts of footage, and / or long timelines? I am trying to see if this is a viable solution for me, for a long-form doc with +/- 200 hrs of footage. Thanks again.
