Video files importing as wav files :( HELP!

[JonGodinezPhotography]

So last night i shot a ton of footage.

All was shot in the same format. (1920x1080, H264, MOV, 24fps)

When i imported this folder of files into Premiere. Half of the files came in as they should and the majority of the second half imported as wav's.

This is not the first time this has happened and i dont understand why. Especially that some of the files are importing correctly.

I really hope i dont have to convert each and every file that didnt import properly.

Suggestions?? Thanks in advance!

This can be multiple issues.

See this post regarding a MacOS issue:

Re: Premiere Pro only importing audio from .mov

There is also a PR bug, that will be fixed in an upcoming update. It has been said "soon," but they don't really tell us when exactly. Same thread, different post:

Re: Premiere Pro only importing audio from .mov

Some users had success working around this by renaming the mov to mp4.

Other workarounds are to transcode to something else. Or to revert to PR 12.0.1. I don't recall if this was introduced in 12.1.0 or 12.1.1.

Mp4 name changing is working! Thank you!
