Adobe Premiere Pro 2025 does not support mkv video!

[chrisgame333]

Adobe Premiere Pro 2025 does not support mkv video! My mkv movie was not added to the timeline. The software did not recognize the mkv file. That's all 🙂

PS.  We need to use an Autokroma Influx plugin to make Adobe Premiere Pro recognize the mkv file!

In my case, the plugin worked 🙂

Some do open

@MyerPj Adobe Premiere Pro 2025 does not support mkv movies ripped from UHD discs! That's all 🙂

BTW. You have to use Autokroma Influx plugin to make it work!

The problem should be fixed in the next version of the software.

"Added support for import of MKV (H.264/AAC) files"
The software does not support all versions of mkv, so this is not true.

Cheers @chrisgame333 , thanks for the info. 🙂

25.2.1 supports MKV (H.264/AAC)

Ripped from a disk might very well be a whole different flavour of mkv.

@Ann Bens when will Adobe Premiere Pro support mkv movies with 8 audio tracks?

Distant future?

[chrisgame333]

OK, fine.

MKV can be seen as a "wrapper", a container, that can hold several actually different codecs or so within it. So you could certainly have a codec that Premiere can't handle within an MKV "file".

As we're users, not staffers, we don't have any better idea of that than you.

@chrisgame333 I would expect a file with 8 tracks to work so if you can post a sample I can take a look at why it isn't. 

[R Neil Haugen]

I think perhaps you misunderstood my earlier post. I did not in any way say that Premiere can't currently handle any mkv files with 8 audio channels. I only said, that as mkv is a wrapper, and can hold a number of codecs to my understanding, that it is possible that an mkv file could be using a particular codec or setting that isn't compatible in Premiere at this time.

Thomas of course has the inside knowledge on this.
