Cannot import SHQ2 .mov file. Error: "this file uses unsupported compression SHQ2"

I use a Newtek Tricaster to record .mov video files.

 

For the past month or so I am getting a notice when attempting to import into Preimere Pro Ver 14.2.0 build 47 --

Notice says "this file uses unsupported compression SHQ2"

 

Did this happen during an upgrade? Does Preimere Pro no longer recognize .mov files?

I have attempted to re-encode using Media Encoder but it only outputs an audio file.

What process do I use to get Premiere to recognize .mov files?

 

Thank You,
Don

Correct answer ah_photo

Premiere Pro reads .mov files, but .mov is only a container.

 

That said, my guess is that Premiere doesn't support the SHQ2 codec, at least not natively, which I'm not very familiar with but after some quick and non-thorough Googling, seems to be a proprietary codec for the Newtek Tricaster?

 

Stumbled across this though and you may be able to download a codec pack for SHQ2: https://forums.newtek.com/showthread.php/152300-SHQ2-Codec?p=1492194&viewfull=1#post1492194
