[Now released] Restore MKV Format Support

MKV wasn't harming anyone.

It was so useful for using clips from random sources in videos. Ridiculous to drop support for one of the most popular formats around.

I would appreciate the ability to import MKV's again.

Adobe, is this really beneficial for your company to remove MKV support? I mean do you wan't loyal customers to stop using your software? Because i am seriously considering it or do you think you are so big and powerful that you can just spit in the face of your customers?

Please restore MKV, I have a substantial amount of videos that are in MKV format, I was never expecting that to be removed. Converting every video before editing it is a huge pain.

I had to download handbrake to convert a video before running it in Premier and Adobe Media Encoder, that is really annoying.

These days, arguing that there's "little or no demand" for Matroska container support is a more dubious statement than saying there's "no demand" for AVI, MPG or FLV (who actually uses the old Flash video container formats nowadays?)

Vegas (no longer owned by Sony) added Matroska container support recently, and Microsoft have been improving their playback support for the most common codecs and containers since 2015.

We are finally moving away from the plethora of vendor-specific codecs and containers that we struggled with for over two decades. Matroska has played a big part in that positive development. Furthermore, it is a future-proof container standard.

Mkv files can contain more quality and files. For tribute editors like me, that's very important. We need mkv files. We NEED it. Adobe, add it to premiere. How hard is it??

There is 0 reason to take this out, another example of Adobe being absolutely hopeless to their customer base. Is there some genius from Adobe who can explain why they consistently want to further their **** reputation?

At least add 13.1.2 back into Adobe Creative Cloud

Premiere Pro 13.1.4 removes/ is missing .mkv support! I can no longer import .mkv files into Premiere. I had to revert back to 13.1.1 and then from there the highest version I can update to that supports .mkv is 13.0.3.

I cant even test 13.1 anymore because CC only allows to download 13.3 and higher
