Mac screenrecording bugs on import in all Adobe SW

As of the latest verison, the standard Mac OS screen recording (CMD-Shift-5) cannot be edited in ANY of the Adobe software (Premiere Pro, After Effects or Media Encoder).

 

Previously this worked by renaming the file from .mov to .mp4 for unknown reasons, but this now no longer works.

 

Adobe bugs out on interpreting the file. Shows up both in preview and in the final render.

 

The files work in avery other software known to man. 

 

On standard Macbook Pro 16" i9 (64 GB RAM, 5500M 8GB). Of course using the default Metal. Have tried with/and without render at maximum depth and use maximum render quality. Same.

 

The bug is sporadic, meaning sometimes it works, sometimes not, even on the same file in the same project, meaning no way of knowing if the bug will hit or not until rendering the whole project.

 

Unfortunately quality control has dramatically dropped 😞

To add: The files read fine in every other program (Davinci, Handbrake, Quicktime, ffmpeg etc). It's clearly an Adobe bug.

 

If anyone else runs into this thread and this problem, my workaround for now is to transcode all screenrecordings into eg ProRes:

ffmpeg -i input.mov -vcodec prores -acodec copy out.mov

 

Adds unfortunate time and dataspace to the workflow, with no increase in quality or other benefits, but at least it works.
