Most Premiere Pro Importing Error is Caused by "File format not supported"/codec missing The Key: Convert Your Video to Adobe Premiere Pro Supported Formats. The Easiest Solution

Analysis: "File format not supported" message denotes that the video decoding fails, and of course your video can't be imported. To solve the problem, just convert video to a Premiere Pro compatible format in two ways: convert with or without transcoding.

• Convert with transcoding – for example, when you convert MKV (VC-1) to Adobe Premiere Pro supported MP4 (H.264), the process comes with the change in codec (from VC-1 to H.264).
• Convert without transcoding – for example, when you convert AVI (HEVC) to Adobe Premiere friendly MP4 (HEVC), the conversion doesn't bring up any data loss or change in codec (from HEVC to HEVC). In this case, you are just moving the whole intact video file from one container (AVI) to another (MP4).

You can easily convert MKV, MOV, iMovie file to Adobe Premiere Pro compatible formats by using the best video converter software, such as Handbrake, VideoProc Converter, FormatFactory, Freemake Video Converter, etc. If you prefer freeware, try HandBrake. But to use HandBrake, you need to be very skilled at video parameter adjusting to some extent. All considered, VideoProc Converter would be a good option in both video decoding/encoding and video editing, for being easy and professional. It allows you to convert MP4, MOV, YouTube, iMovie and almost all types of files to Adobe Premiere supported file formats in one click.

Video is Not on the Formats Not Supported List, but Still Can't be Imported

Remember that whether your video can be imported or not depends on video codec format, not video container format. Yes, they are not the same thing. H.264 ≠ MP4 is a case in point. The problem can be solved by converting video with transcoding. The following two examples will make it clearer.

• Example 1 - Premiere Pro supports MP4, but not all MP4 can be importedMP4, a container format, is natively supported for import by Premiere Pro. But it comes with the details "QuickTime Movie, XDCAM EX". An educated guess is if your video is not QuickTime (MPEG-4 Part 12) but the extended part MPEG-4 Part 14 (.mj2, .dvb. .dcf. .m21, .f4v), or the video is recorded by XDCAM SD, XDCAM HD/HD 422, it might not be loaded correctly even if it is MP4.
• Example 2 - MKV seems to be not supported, but can be imported sometimes MKV is not on the official supported file format list, but actually it has been natively supported in Premiere Pro 2018 12.1 and later, although there still are loading errors. Our test shows that some MKV videos can be loaded, while some others cannot. The reason might be that MKV is a container format, but video codec format is the linchpin in decoding.

Solution 3: Upgrade Premiere Pro, Buy License, Etc to Fix File Format Not Supported Error. +

If you imported a video in both codec and container compatible with Premiere Pro, but failed with "File format not supported", try the following solutions.

• Adobe only allows licensed Creative Cloud members to access to some codec, such as HEVC. So your problem might be solved simply by stopping using the trial version and purchasing a code.
• There is no problem to import a Samsung HEVC clip, but when it comes to GoPro Hero7 HEVC video, it crashes. Upgrade your Premiere Pro, maybe from 2018 to 2019, to have a try. Sometimes it just doesn't add support for your file. It is said that Premiere Pro CC 2019 hasn't yet supported H.265 XF-HEVC, a brand-new codec used by new Canon XF-705.
