Some MP4 files can only be imported from my C Drive.

Hi All, Has this ever happened to anyone? Some MP4 files can only be imported from my C drive. At first the mp4 files were stored in my D drive. An error prompt popped up when I tried importing the files, saying media coded not supported. Tried many troubleshoot, none work. For some reason, I had the idea to copy the mp4 files to my desktop (C drive) and tried importing again. 

Now the files have no problem importing into premiere pro cc.

I find this super odd.

(I store non-app related stuff in D drive for organizing purposes)

Does anyone know why? or have any solutions for this issue?

I wonder if the file path is too long when using the D drive?

Try shortning the file name and/or move it to a folder closer to the root of the D drive.

Try resetting the preferences:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:
Reset a workspace
Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
1. Do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
• Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.
from here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/workspaces.html

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn’t work, try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site. If NVIDIA, do a clean install of the latest Studio Driver (NOT the Game Driver)

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.

Hi Peru,

Thanks for the reply! I've tried everything you suggested. Unfortunately, none of them resolved my issue 😞

here's a screenshot of the prompt.

Do the files work from an external drive? 

Is your C drive a lot faster than the D?

Hi!
Both my C and D drives are SSDs tho so I don't think one is faster than the other.

An external drive works.

OMG YES!

Thank you so much. I tried moving the entire project folder closer to the root of D drive and it worked!

Though I have encountered a different issue.

One of my file name is waaay too long, hence premiere was unable to import (file path too long)

As I tried to rename the file, it instantly snaps back to the original (long) file name

Make sure Premiere Pro is closed when you rename the file.
