Importing 120 FPS .MP4 into Adobe Premiere Elements 15?

Hello!

I am attempting to import a video that I shot on my GoPro Hero 7 Black into Adobe Premiere Elements 15. The video is .MP4 and was shot in 120 FPS, as I wanted to use the video for slow motion.

Each time I attempt to import it, I get the following message: "This type of file is not supported, or the codec is not installed."

Does anyone know how to import this? Thank you!

The key is where it says "Codec ID/Info: High Efficiency Video Coding".  That is "HEVC" or "H.265"

The most common conversion program is called Handbrake.  It is free, downloadable and highly regarded.  I don't know what it does with the 120 FPS.

GoPro themselves has a page of explanation and recommends Handbrake:  https://gopro.com/help/articles/how_to/how-to-convert-gopro-hevc-videos-to-h-264-using-handbrake

Most likely this video uses the HEV H.265 video codec, which Premiere Elements can not work with.

To find out if that is the case, open your video in the free download MediaInfo. In MediaInfo, set View to Text and then copy and paste the report it generates to this forum. Once we know what the video file is made of, we'll be better able to advise you.

I only know what you've taught me here, in your books, on your website and at Lynda.com!
