Hello,

 

I have opened an MP4 file in Premiere Rush.

It opens the file in the timeline, but I cannot play it (the play window remains black).

What device and operating system are you editing on? What camcorder created the MP4?

I am using a powerful laptop with Windows 10.

The MP4 file was downloaded from internet (TS file converted to MP4 with a professional software).

It is strange because Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Prelude can play it, but Premiere Rush can't.

The best way to troubleshoot this is to open the MP4 in the free download MediaInfo. In MediaInfo, set View to Text and then copy the report it generates and paste it to this forum.

 

Once we know the specs and compression system in that MP4 we'll have a better idea what's going on.
