Removing MKV Format support has a negative impact on the workflow of people that work with broadcasting software like OBS. Restore MKV support. Having native support for MKVs, even if they don't edit well without generating proxies, saves me a ton of time that I'd otherwise have to spend remuxing/transcoding files.

sometimes there is like no hacking way you can convert this file, only option is ffmpeg, but sometimes it just crashes

Hey guys.
I've tried the Autokroma codec beta thingy.

So far I've been able to import mkv to Media Encoder without issues.

As for Premiere Pro, if I add an mkv clip to an existing timeline, it'll only insert the video.
So instead I create a new timeline from the mkv file and use that one or copy-paste from there.

Despite this minor issue, I think this is a good solution until Adobe adds their own native support for mkv.

Hope this helps someone. 🙂

MKV is widely used in the archival world. Removing MKV support from Premiere makes it an unattractive choice for users in that industry.

Removing MKV support is a terrible decision. MKV is the only format that won't corrupt if you have any issues while recording with OBS. MP4 is a really bad container that can't even contain lossless audio. MKV is important if you're doing podcasting and want to have lossless audio with compressed video. Premiere Pro can't take MKV, get yourself in 2021, Adobe amateurs.

Being investigated?!? Just how much do you expect people to continue to pay for your software with this kind of response. MKV is an incredibly useful file type, it is outrageous in my view just how pathetically slow Adobe is at responding and updating its customer base on issues such as these.

James, do prefer Handbrake to having OBS do the conversion?
