Removing MKV Format support has a negative impact on the workflow of people that work with broadcasting software like OBS. Restore MKV support. Having native support for MKVs, even if they don't edit well without generating proxies, saves me a ton of time that I'd otherwise have to spend remuxing/transcoding files.

We still really need mkv support.
It's not about the codecs, really. We don't need any new codecs. Just allow importing mkv with all the codecs supported by Premiere as of today. H.264, H.265 - the most common ones.

I can't believe this isn't in Premiere yet.

Also, it's not just about .MKV : which codecs do you need support for ? Please send us your sample files ! We'll make it work with Influx Importer for Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects https://www.autokroma.com/Influx

I gave up on Adobe many months ago after having exchanged emails with Abhi Singh. I now use LosslessCut as my goto converter. Simple and quick, but agreed I shouldn’t have to take this extra step.

IMHO, Adobe and in particular Abhi Signh have done a poor job on this topic. At the very least, they should communicate their intentions. This is happening more and more with Adobe on many of their products. Going for the least common denominator rather than the users who put them on the map.

Lack of mkv support in a software at this price is plainly ridiculous!
