Hi,

I just bought a Canon 60D camera and I am using adobe premiere pro cs3 for the first time.

I tried to import MOV file footages made by my Canon 60D, but it says that my files are not supported.

I don't know what to do!

Can someone help me?

Thank you.

Welcome to the forum.

Full HD H.264 in a MOV file format from DSLR cameras is beyond the capability of CS3.

I recommend using

Squared 5 - MPEG Streamclip video converter for Mac and Windows

to convert the video to a lossless or near lossless codec like Avid DNxHD or Apple Photo-JPEG (set to 75% quality).  See if the converted files import and edit properly in CS3.

@Jeff Bellune,

Thank you for the tips.

Are there any converters from MPEG streamclip to MOV. files ?

I'm trying to get back that HD 1080 or 720 quality.

Upgrade to CS5.5, which does support the media.

Also, To work with AC3 sound files in Premiere CS3, copy the ad2ac3dec.dll file from the Encore CS3 directory into the Premiere directory
