New Premiere (2021) no longer supporting .mkv files?

Does the new Premiere no longer support .mkv files? I was working on a project and updated to the new edition and now all my .mkv files are gone and aren't showing up in my folders anymore. If .mkv files are gone for good, how can I convert the files I have into a supported format?

I think Adobe dropped MKV support with the release of CC2019. 

You could use the free (and incredible) LosslessCut app to very easily turn your mkvs into MOVs or mp4s

    Okay. For whatever reason, .mkv is the only format OBS Studio puts out, so do you know of any good alternatives to that? I'd ask their forums, but it's a living nightmare there.

      You can change the container OBS exports to, but MKV is considered the most stable and will not corrupt the file in case of interruption.

       

      Best case is record in MKV, and then use LosslessCut. Or, you can remux your videos directly in OBS if you prefer not to use Lossless. This blog does a good job at succintly explaing the OBS remux process:
