Hello,

I'm having a lot of trouble with importing videos in Premiere Pro. I have imported my files as MP4, because .mov doesn't work at all. Now the most of my content is a green screen with only audio. I just can't figure it out and I can't get the videos with the content they are supposed to have. I have send them from my iPhone through dropbox to my MacBook Pro. Does anyone know how to get this fixed? I have watches multiple videos on Youtube but nothing works or is a solution. Thank you in advance!

Correct answer noufalb84430937

I found the solution Remo, If you look for the type of your vlc video, you 'll find out that the type is AAC

the wrong type: Audio

The correct type: Video: after conversion using: AAC to MP4 - Convert your AAC to MP4 for Free Online

It worked well for me, I hope it does to you

Hey,

I have the same issue with MP4 files.

They play fine in Finder/Quicktime, however when imported into Premiere Pro CC (version 12.1.2, build 69) the footage becomes flat green. Same applies when I bring into Media Encoder to transcode to another codec.

What does work however is if I transcode files in a very old version of Apple Compressor (version 3), remember that?!

Seems weird an old application would be able work than the latest version of CC! I would like to keep it all in Adobe suite ideally, as old Compressor is slow and clunky. Screen grabs attached.

Many thanks in advance if anyone has a solution.

I think I have worked it out, I have converted the files from high resolution to 720p. Now they work in Premiere! I only hope that the quality is still good now. Thanks everyone for the help!
