Unsupported compression type.

I have Premiere Pro 14.1.0 running on Mac Catalina 10.15.4 and get "The file has an unsupported compression type." no matter what extension for the video clip I'm trying to import. I've emptied media cache etc. (not like there was much there), uninstalled and reinstalled the app, exported teh clip as a .mov through Quick Time and still no luck. This is part of a class assignment and of course I'm the only one who's experiencing this problem.

Could you embed your screenshot in your original post instead of providing a download link which we rather not use.

Screenshot is embedded. I did use Handbrake and got the clip imported. It's good for a band aid solution but hope there's a way to do this without using a third party.

Thanks
