Mov files import as an audio file in Premiere Elements 2018 instead of video file

Hi There,

When I start a new project in Premiere Elements 2018 and add a new media (mov) file it is impored as an audio file instead of a video file.

The mov file is from an iPhone 7

It worked before .... does it have to do with a Windows 10 update maybe?

Hope someone can help me with this.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Kind regards, Paul

I don't think it has to do with a Windows update. 

You might try a couple of things.  Install Quicktime on your computer.  It may be that your Apple phone needs Apple Quicktime codecs on you computer.  The other thing is to use the [free] MediaInfo program to view the structure of the file.  You can copy and past that information here.  You could also put a clip on DropBox and someone like me can see what it does in our systems.
