Repaired corrupted MOV file can't be imported

[CoolNerd2000]

I was using Canon 5D Mark iii for video and one of the clips was corrupted.

Searched online for a fix and bought "Stellar Phoenix Video Repair".
The video can now be played by VLC but I am unable to import into Premiere nor upload onto YouTube.
Please help!

Dont think anything can be done about that.

I paid $80 for the software

The software did what it suppose to do: make it watchable, but that is not the same as make it editable.

Thanks for the advice! Ann Bens​

If you cannot upload to YT or import into Pr. then something is wrong with the file.

VLC will play nearly anything. But then again VLC is not a NLE.

Try changing the mov extention to mp4.

If desperate, convert using handbrake - it will read pretty much the same stuff as VLC and then you should be able to import.

You may suffer a quality decrease depending on your settings.

Thanks mikedzk​, you're a lifesaver!  That worked but as you mentioned, the quality suffered but not too much.
