I searched the Panasonic DMC-GH3 and Premiere Pro on Google, and found the other users are also facing the importing problems: No sound importing to Premiere Pro

Just got my new Panasonic GH3 today, love it. However no sound in Premiere Pro 5.5.2 Mac. Some research has indicated that Premiere Pro doesnt like the AVCHD 60P + LPCM combo, it just thinks theres no sound track. Is there some setting or something I can do?


Well, Ive found out the solution to fix the MTS to Adobe Premiere Pro issues. If you are also the Lumix GH3 owner and had the similar trouble with Premiere Pro, go through the article to check out the solution.

So how to import/load video clips from Panasonic GH3 to Adobe Premiere for editing smoothly with no problems?
