Cannot insert an mp4 video file in the timeline

when I create a new project on premiere it doesn't let me insert a type of mp4 video file in the timeline, this doesn't concern all types of mp4 files but some, I don't understand what this factor depends on. I have already tried to update all the drivers on the computer but the problem persists, what should I do?

    The file imports and plays correctly for me, in both 24.5 (shipping) and 24.6 (beta), mac.

    I don't have an HEVC app installed.

     

    I'm curious, because if PR imports it, I think it should work.

     

    Anyone?

    I'm using the last version relase 24.5.

    I'm starting to doubt that the HEVEC app I installed is somehow compromised

    It's HEVC in an .mp4 wrapper. I thought this was now supported; what version of PR are you running? I have no problem on my PC:

     

    I can import it. I can drag it to the new icon to create a new sequence. I can drag it to an existing sequence with different properties.

    hello, no I can't drag it.

     

    I downloaded this program but I don't think it's a codec problem as I can normally open these files from the folder

     

    I shared the link to the example of the file that won't let me open.

     

    I want to point out that I don't have these problems on my other PC. I searched for a long time and noticed that by encoding the files in MOV premiere format it can import them

    Can you drag it to the new icon to create its own sequence?

    A program called MediaInfo is often used to inspect the file to see what type of codec, etc. is in that file.

     

    You can also post a link to one of the problem files so we can take a look.
