APE 2019
Windows 10
Add media failure

I am trying to add a video clip to my current APE project,  (IMG_0283.mov)
I had no problem adding it to my YouTube. When I try to bring it in I get the
following error message

Error
This type of file is not supported or the required CODEC is not installed

Where do I get the correct CODEC? 

Thanks for your help.

Cheers! Phil

MOV is a wrapper, what is inside YOUR wrapper - Exactly what is INSIDE the video you are editing?
Report back with the codec details of your file, use the program below
Free program to get file information for PC/Mac http://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo/Download
- a MediaInfo tutorial https://youtu.be/Ivy9ckSX1M0
- when you analyze your file in MediaInfo and post a screen shot in the forum, do so in TREE view
- post your information IN your message, not as an attachment that someone would have to download

I changed the camera format in my iPhone from "high efficiency" to "Most compatible"
