Restore MKV Format Support

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

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.

Being investigated?!? Just how much do you expect people to continue to pay for your software with this kind of response. MKV is an incredibly useful file type, it is outrageous in my view just how pathetically slow Adobe is at responding and updating its customer base on issues such as these.

Hi everyone ! Our Influx Importer for Adobe CC just got updated with more formats, including .MKV container, and macOS 10.15+ support ! Test it for free here : https://www.autokroma.com/blog/BETA-For-Influx-Importer-Adobe-Premiere-Pro-After-Effects

Removing MKV support is a terrible decision. MKV is the only format that won't corrupt if you have any issues while recording with OBS. MP4 is a really bad container that can't even contain lossless audio. MKV is important if you're doing podcasting and want to have lossless audio with compressed video. Premiere Pro can't take MKV, get yourself in 2021, Adobe amateurs.

MKV is widely used in the archival world. Removing MKV support from Premiere makes it an unattractive choice for users in that industry.

Hey guys.
I've tried the Autokroma codec beta thingy.

So far I've been able to import mkv to Media Encoder without issues.

As for Premiere Pro, if I add an mkv clip to an existing timeline, it'll only insert the video.
So instead I create a new timeline from the mkv file and use that one or copy-paste from there.

Despite this minor issue, I think this is a good solution until Adobe adds their own native support for mkv.

Hope this helps someone. 🙂

sometimes there is like no hacking way you can convert this file, only option is ffmpeg, but sometimes it just crashes

Come on adobe give us mkv support. It's a popular video format

[TenmillionDead]

I'm at a complete loss for words. How could Adobe not support such a ubiquitous format? Unfortunately, I can't do anything I need with media encoder now.. thanks.

Came here after learning Premiere doesn't support MKV. Quite a disappointment.

+1 for mkv support it is quitte hard to understand how it is not here out of the box.

[Ekir75]

+1 for mkv support. It's ridiculous that such a popular container format isn't included with Adobe.

[3azzo]

I do not know why Adobe did not add the MKV format to their softwares I wish in the next updates it would be possible.

[Gilson22000963bcu0]

MKV support is absolutely a must have, at the very least on Media Encoder!

[Davomat]

Would love support back. A common format for 4k that doesn't take a billion gig.

[Vincent23]

Horrible not to have MKV which is a standard format. You should be ashamed.

[Syro74]

MKV please...

[tornadopnoy]

bring it back! pls

[edilebert1999]

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

[DesignerDesmond]

Any updates? Admin said under review April of 2021 it's now 2022.

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.

+1 for mkv support.
