Can't import 4K video to Premiere Pro

I have a 4K video that I want to edit but I can't drag and drop or import the video. The video itself is an mp4 file but when I try to import it I get an error message that says "File uses unsupported video compression type av01". Can anyone help?

That is a particularly heavily compressed format that Pr doesn't accept. You would need to transcode to something it will work with in say ShutterEncoder or Handbrake.

Between Handbrake and ShutterEncoder you should be able to convert without any noticeable loss of quality. ShutterEncoder has a much newer, easier to use interface actually.

 

But if transcoded at high Q bitrates you should not see any loss for a couple generations. In Handbrake, for instance, use a "near placebo" setting for compression.
