Hi!

I have a Sony CAM which produces .MTS files as you're describing. It's
no problem to import all those files into OpenShot and then import them
to the timeline by right-clicking on them.

If the files are split up they are placed in the timeline right after
each other so this shouldn't be any problem?

Well, an option for copying the video files from a CAM (memory card)
could be nice, but it's not much more trouble copying the files directly
in the file manager? In Ubuntu you see all MTS files as thumbnails too
in the file manager (Nautilus).

Regards, Tobias

Title:
  Advanced Import from Videocamera

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Hi!
  I've got a camera which has kind of this struct:
  AVCHD/
    BDMV/
      .../
      STREAM/
        00000.MTS
        00001.MTS
        00002.MTS
        00003.MTS
        ...

  So these *.MTS files are actually a movies. And to import it you can
  simply copy it to your hard drive. But there are some problems with
  that.

  1. It's not so simple for users, would be better to have openshot button "import from camera" that shows all videos with previews and dates, asks where to import (sometimes it's a hard drive).
  2. Cameras use fat32 (I think) and when video is too large -- it's splitted to 2Gb files. So when importing you should find 2Gb files as 1 video and do "cat 00003.MTS >> 00002.MTS" on import or something like that.

  Hope that one day I will start implementing this feature myself :-)
