Hi,

I have been out filming all day with my Canon XA20 at 28mbps, 50fps and in MP4 mode.

When I try and import my MP4 video files into Premier Pro CS6 (which is fully upto date) I get this error message -

This file has no audio or video streams.

Now this only happens with MP4 file types. I normally record in AVCHD but this camera has a feature that allows you to switch between MP4 and AVCHD, so today I shot in MP4.

I have no idea why this is happening, everything is upto date and the camcorder works just fine. When I try and import any other file type other the MP4 premier pro opens it fine, but with MP4 I always have this problem.

This happened to another user recently. I think the 'solution' arrived at was don't use MP4, stick to AVCHD.

Indeed this is not a very good solution!

I mean there must be a reason that mp4 chops about like this?

I agree. But the reasons could be as simple as PP isn't designed to work with that media. It is designed to work with AVCHD.

Don't use "Import" - copy entire contents of memory card to hard drive, then within Premiere, use MEDIA BROWSER. This will interpret the format better than "Import". Hope this does it for you. Has to do with the metadata and other info contained in the folder structure.

Just tried this with the media browser and it did not work.

I have no idea why it is doing it and cannot find a good solution online!
