Panasonic GH5 FW 2.0 ALL-I 400Mbps videos won't import

[DMMax]

I know that the firmware 2.0 for the GH5 has just been released so I know if this didn't work then there would have to be an update for AE to allow this and it might not work straight away.

I have used After Effects to import the GH5 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 150Mbps and it works fine. I record some videos with the new 400Mbps 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 ALL-I videos today with my GH5 with the new firmware update. When the video imports, I just get a black screen.Is there a way to import it now or will there need to be an upate to allow the new codec to work with AE? I am currently using version 14.2.1.34

I have submitted a bug report mentioning this issue. Here is information on the codec of one of the videos, I took form a program called MediaInfo:

Hello,

I guess you need to wait for the new patch of After Effects and ask Panasonic about the export option of the file compatibility.

Hey DMMax! I am a GH5 Pro user as well. I know your pain! FYI--I just test the following in both Premiere and After Effects:

• MOV/C4K 10-Bit/400m/b
• MP4/4K All-I/400m/b

Both clips are fully functional on my MAC (Mac OS Sierra) and Windows 10 (latest update) in both Premiere 2017 and After Effects 2017 latest updates. It is possible that your codecs are corrupt or perhaps there are other settings that have modified your files. Looking at your breakdown--I'm not seeing anything that jumps out at me. All I know is that the formats--full 400m/b are working. If worse comes to worse--transcode your files to another high end format. Perhaps Cineform 12-bit or 10-bit (Quality 4). If you are on Mac or have Crunch on a PC--try Prores 422 HQ. If nothing else works--uninstall and reinstall After Effects/Premiere to reinstall the codecs with the software. Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool to "completely" uninstall your software to eliminated any issues. Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems

Anyways, hope this helps!

I ma not sure what happened yesterday, but it seems the videos are working now and import fine in to AE. I think the one video I was trying to import was corrupted as when I tried to play it back on the camera, it played for a few seconds and then I got an error. I tried another video and it imported correctly with no issues. However, I am getting another issue.

Even though the video imported correctly, I applied my effect settings I normally use with my V-Log L videos and tried to export it the same way I always have with the 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 150Mbps GH5 files to DNxHR 4K and it started encoding and got a little bit done then the video encoder showed the preview of the encoding video as green, so I stopped it and when I saw this and played back the video that had been encoded and it to showed the green screen on part of it.

Here is what the vieo looks like in AE:

This is what the video looks like initially in adobe media encoder:

After about 5 minutes, I get this blank green on the preview window, which is encoded onto the video itself and isn't usable:

OK, I found out that the videos I was trying to edit, had corrupted, and just exported another one I took yesterday in ALL-I 400Mbps and it exported correctly with no issues, so I don't think the problem was AE, but was my videos.
