No video only audio

[kelar kuusk]

So i just downloaded the premiere pro trial to try it out. But when i want to drag some files i only get the audio one. I have been looking for solutions from anywhere.

You need to source patch the tracks first.

[kelar kuusk]

And how can i do that?

Hi kelar - I made a quick screen recording to show you. see the GIF below. As Ann mentioned above, just make sure you have the "v1" selected when you drag your media into your sequence so video and audio will transferred on to your sequence.  The first time I bring down the footage from the source panel, I do not have the v1 source patching on, but once on, you see that it now brings video as well.

But like if i drag my files to anywhere in premiere pro it dosent show the video, black screen only and audio icon.

Double click on the clip in the Project Window so it opens in the Source Monitor and at the same time source patches your track, then drag into timeline.

Or do you mean you have your clip in the timeline and the Progam Monitor shows black?

Try step 2b below.  Report back.

Did not work

[Ann Bens]

Premiere only imported the audio part of the videoclips, hence being the problem.

Where do these clips come from, what camera was used?

Post a screenshot of a clip in MediaInfo and post the outcome in treeview here on the forum.

[excited_Genie16B8]

OK.

Specify the details of the media you're working with, and the secondary media you tried for Step 2b in the Troubleshooting Guide.

Hi there, thank you for your help.

Importing an MP4, drag and drop, only the Audio Track comes in.

Hi @myer_s,

I saw your screenshot. It appears to be an audio only clip. Can you try to import the clip and verify it has a video track? Which camera shot the clip? Let us know.

Thanks,
Kevin
