My job is to develop e-Learning and I want to incorporate video into my lessons where appropriate. My camera takes video in .mov format, which I've learned Pr doesn't like. I started searching the web and found a recommendation to change the file to avi. Fine, tried it, then discovered the latest Pr apparently doesn't like that. More searching, and I started to feel that this could become a deep rabbit hole with lots of turns as I try to sort things out.
I think a more direct route for me would be to just ask what file format works best with Pr, and then I will get my IT department to get me the appropriate converter.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
I continued my online research and found a recommendation to change the file extension to .mp4.
It worked.

Your best option might be a new camera. Or different settings on the current camera.
What make and model are you using?

It's a Nikon D3300. I doubt the company will buy a new camera to replace it.

That's an old rig ... does it have any other video format option than the mov?
Could you put a very short segment up on the web for us to test with?
There's Handbrake, a free and easy to use converter, btw ... oft recommended "here". It can also do batch work for say every file in a folder.

OK.
I would expect those clips to work. Have you tried yet?

Nikon D7000 mov files work fine on PPro 2018.1.2.

.mov with prores seems to scrub nicely. Research codecs and those that use cpu processing more than others will take a stronger system to work with.
