iPhone 16 Pro Video Not Supported in Premiere Pro

  • Hello,

     

    I’m encountering an issue when trying to import a video recorded on my iPhone 16 Pro into Adobe Premiere Pro. The software shows an error saying: “This file is not supported.” The video cannot be added to the timeline or previewed.

     

    Here are the details of the video:

    Device: iPhone 16 Pro

    Resolution: 4K (3840 x 2160)

    Frame Rate: 30fps

    Codec: H.264

    File Size: 31.4MB

    Duration: 5 seconds

    Camera settings: “Most Compatible” mode (H.264)

    HDR Video: Turned off

    Transfer method: AirDrop using “Keep Originals” option

     

    The file appears to be a standard H.264 .MOV file and should be fully compatible with Premiere Pro based on the official supported formats. Other videos work fine, but this particular one (and a few others shot similarly) trigger the unsupported file error.

     

    Could this be related to a compatibility issue with the iPhone 16 Pro’s latest encoding or metadata? Please advise if there’s a workaround or if a fix is planned in a future update.

     

    Thank you

Try turning off spatial audio in the iOS device's camera settings. You can also check out the new beta of Project Violet on the app store. That should support all the newer formats.
