    XVID will always be a hit or miss in Premiere. It is not supported and relies on third party codecs to play back in the timeline.

    And to be honest, it has never taken off as a playback format. The majority of users can’t view it, and wouldn’t know how to install the codec, and H.264 is miles away in quality vs size… My only recomendation would be to convert it before import.
