But sometimes when you import, for example, an MOV, an MKV, a GoPro Hero 7 or even an MP4 video to this editor software, it will fail, won't show up in the timeline or will play only audio but no video. See the common problems below:

MP4 files, the most widely used video format, fail in import to Premiere on Windows 11/10 sometimes. There must be something wrong in the process. but what it is exactly?
The crux of the matter is the codec and format support. For example, Adobe Premiere does not stretch for DivX, EVO, F4V, FLV, MCF, MPEG TS, OGG, RMVB video formats, and it even does not support MKV container format (with linchpin in decoding) and HEVC codec well enough. There are three different methods to troubleshoot this problem.
Three Solutions to Solve Codec/Format Issues:
-
Method 1: Get help from VideoProc Converter AI, with which you can easily transcode your incompatible video audio files to that perfectly accepted by Premiere.
Step 1. Download and install VideoProc Converter AI (on your Windows or Mac PC), a streamlined and easy-to-use program that excels at converting videos and audios.
Step 2. Double-click the software icon on your computer to launch VideoProc Converter AI. Click "Video" button on the home interface, and choose "+ Video" to add one or more video files from your hard drive.
Step 3. On the Target Format section on the lower part, select a commonly used video format and codec. Here we suggest "MP4 H.264".
Step 4. Tick "Nvidia/Intel/AMD" to take full use of Hardware Acceleration Engine. Press big RUN button and start the video conversion.
After the mission is completed, you can get a converted file. The result file can be imported to into Adobe Premiere Pro CC for further editing without any problem

-
Method 3: Upgrade Premiere Pro, buy the license (CC 2019 not supports H.265 XF-HEVC yet).
