Can I edit MOV files from Atomos Ninja V in PE2018?

  • August 9, 2019

Hi there, I did a video shoot today and the main camera was a Fuji XT3 and recording into an Atomos Ninja V. The shooter gave me the MOV files but they show up a green videos in Premiere Elements 2019.

Do I need to download Apple Quicktime 7.79 to get PE2018 to be able to edit them? Is there another, better way?

Please advise what I need to do in order to edit the files.

Thanks,

Ronald

    Your screen shot shows a codec of "apch" and a format of "Prores".   Those are wonderful for those that use Apple computers and Apple's Final Cut Pro software.  Premiere Elements on a Windows PC is wonderful for more common H.264 codecs in MP4 file containers.

    I've never tried to convert ProRes files.  Googling for it suggests it can be done.  Here is one YouTube that says it can be done with the free and very good program called "Handbrake".

    Actually I think the file you want to disable is QuicktimePlayer.exe, Bill. Though as you say, disabling that particular file allows you to take advantage of the Quicktime codecs without leaving the player itself vulnerable to attack.

        Open one of those MOV files in the free download MediaInfo. In MediaInfo, set View to Text and then copy the report the program generates and paste it to this forum.

        The MOV format is not a compression system. It's just a file format or "envelope". MOVs can be made up of any of dozens of codecs or compression system, many of which are not easily editable.
