Hi everybody!

That drives me crazy ( not britney spears song i promise), but I decide to install for the first time adobe premier pro cc 2019, the trial version, and if that finaly work , gonna add it to my actual adobe pack. SO, i have windows 10, the lastest version, my computer is pretty young and have cool skills (he can support easily all the update from adobe). Whatever. I launch premiere, i want to import my video annnnd, this annoying message appeared " can't be read on the computer disk / or can't read this file). So I watch and read lot of tuto, old same topic message in different forums, tried all these "fix issues" solutions, but no one works ( how to lose your day? Call me please!).
Like Adobe cc cleaner ( with all the steps)

Convert the video with handbrake

Download the last windows media pack number blabla ( won't install cause my computer said " nope i already have the latest version of your stuff dude".

So VOILA ( yeah i'm french that explain all).

If somebody want to be my hero for this ( or wonder woman btw ). Please, make a guy happy.

"impossible to open the file on the disk", i change the localisation to try this solution, try different video file at different localisation, like not on the same disk, external and intern, the same message...


Is that message translated from another language?

Hi Jordan,

If I'm understanding correctly, you did not have any version of Premiere before - is that right?

Can you import any video files?

It's correct! On this computer, I have an oooold one on my previous computer and not even with my actual adobe account but another one.
So no i can't import any video file, .mov or mp4 or avi, none of them!

Hi Inet!
I have windows professional N with  an EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC GAMING/ACX 2.0 6GB GDDR5/DX12 / intel I7-7700 !

I'm gonne send you the info of the file but it's an usual typicaly file!

Hi Jordan. This seems a little strange as PP can natively support both .mp4 and .mov files. Can you kindly post your system spec and the OS you are running so that I can look at a solution. Also can you send a pic of the media info of the files that you are trying to import. Thanks. Mo
