Question

Having trouble finding files in premiere

I have PP 24.0 installed on my surface pro 7. I am kind of a newbie because I started using PP for school editing. I keep trying to find my files to import in premiere but when I go into premiere they are not in there. The audio files are AMR files. The problem with the "New Folder" is that the photos are on a flashdrive and I am trying to get them into premiere. Should I just copy the folder onto my computer? The only thing that shows up from the 208 items on the flashdrive is the one video.

    Yep, Neil has it right, it's the .amr files, and you can't see them in Premiere because the format is not supported. I missed it in your message, but had you not had the file extensions hidden, we would have seen them in the screenshots.

     

    Download and use Shutter Encoder, I just tested it to make sure it works. (I had to find a sample amr). Drag in your .amr files and convert to WAV. Most of us do that with MP3s as WAV's are good to edit with.  https://www.shutterencoder.com/en/

      Are .amr file types supported in Premiere? That's an audio file format not heavily used in video post.

      Everyone's mileage always varies ...

        Yes, copy the stuff from your flash drive to the computer. Put it in a folder somewhere where you can find it again. 

         

        In File Explorer go into options and UNcheck "Hide file extensions..." You don't want that hidden. It's time you learned early on how to manipulate files and folders so you are organized and know where your files are.

        Hi, thanks for the response. I did what you told me to do(copied the photos in the folder and put them onto my computer then went into file explorer and unchecked hide extensions for known file types) but I still went into premiere and could not find them.

        Drag them from Windows Explorer to the Project Panel in your project.

        BTW the pictures are 1. my downloads on my computer. 2. my downloads on pp that only show the images and not audios that I need. 3. the photos on my folder on my flashdrive. 4. the folder on my flashdrive with only the video on it.
