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.

This decision really hurt our company and caused a lot of our editors to switch to Resolve or Avid Workflows. This was a bad move, regardless of how much you saved on licensing. Other comments echo my struggles with broken project files, lost man hours, increased storage costs (from having to remux years of MKVs into MP4s while preserving the originals). You really betrayed us, Adobe. And your biggest threat right now is free. $600 a year is starting to feel like the tip of the iceberg when you break our workflows like this.

When free options are more capable in the ways that people want, you're going to find a problem.

Cannot believe you broke every project I have worked on for the last 6 months. Inexcusable. Every camera clip I have is in MKV, every project is now unusable until I fiddle around with a bunch of manual steps that may or may not get the project back to exactly as it was.

you should at least give a heads up before doing somethings like this , we have existing projects using mkv file format .Regardless if its low or high format its up-to us , a good editing software should be user friendly removing some of the features is not totally acceptable Instead of upgrading your features dont downgrade and make us disappointed. we were so happy about the features that you are introducing on each update but this is an total disappointment. we have a corporate deal and this is going to effect us big time. kindly look into this matter, or else we would have to consider looking for other alternatives. cause we will never know what will be you next move. which things you will remove. Thanks

Hey! Can you guys bring back support to MKV files? I use OBS to record videos and they only come out MKV. You guys are great, but this would make the product even better.

Why was this removed. I now need to convert 2TB of mkv and also all my projects files that were in limbo as I some how had a 2019 version of premier supporting mkv.

Also it was present in previous version idiotic to remove it.
