Samurai vs. AVCHD Green Screen Comparision Screen Grabs

Does this issue of decoding MTS files happen in CS5.5 also, or is it just CS4 and CS5?

To be clear, there are two issues;

1. Premiere and After Effects CS5 mis-interpret AVCHD footage as interlaced. That is easily fixed with the Clip - Modify command which allows you to set the clip to progressive rather than interlaced. We are not discussing this problem. This problem is fixed in CS5.5.

2. The problem as I have experienced it is strictly in AE, not Premiere. Once item 1 is taken care of, Premiere has no issues. However, AE still has issues as seen in previous posts. The footage appears to be interlaced, with heavy aliasing on the edges. But the odd thing is that not everyone is experiencing the problem. Same camera, same software, different results. I think we are talking about CS5 only.

All my comments are about CS5. I do not have CS5.5 yet.

I'm not sure in this is relevent, or not, but you might google "CS5 and AVCHD chroma bug"

My impression is that the default decoder that PPro and AFX tap into (which was by Mainconcept, last time I looked) can sometiimes get mucked up, depending on what other software is on specific machines. I gave up trying to sort it all out, and now convert AVCHD to Cineform before doing anything with it.
