Question

This file has an unsupported compression type

I'm shooting 4k video @60 & 120fps ALL-I and I cannot import the shots into Premiere. I receive the follwoing error:

"This file has an unsupported compression type"

It should be noted that these clips are coming from a Canon EOS R5

 

Am i missing a codec? Premiere & windows are fully up to date. Appreciate your help in advance, my system specs shouldn't be terribly relevant, but here's what I can recall:

Windows 10, latest ver/update

Adobe Premiere, latest ver/update
3.50 gigahertz Intel Core i7-7800X

32GB DDR4 RAM
Dedicated SSD scratch disk for Premiere (app installed to and running off separate SSD)
GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

It *should* work ... could be a bug in Premiere Pro 14.7??

You could perhaps try rolling back to 14.5 or 14.3.2 (14.3 was the first version to support R5 footage) and see if it then works.

The files show up as having no size.
