  codec missing or unavailable

  Posted by Ben Traylor on March 1, 2012 at 9:58 pm

  hey guys,

  i searched this but never found an answer. i just got a new macbook pro with lion. i installed CS5 (NOT trial version). i have .mov’s that will play in quicktime 10 but says “codec missing or unavailable” when i try to import into premiere pro.

  the files are rewrapped EX1 files that went through sony’s xdcam transfer software when they were imported in to final cut. i exported them from final cuts timeline natively and when i try to import in to premiere, it gives me the above error.

  one other thing, only the audio plays in quicktime 7 and mpeg streamclip.

  does anyone know what the problem is?

  thanks,
  ben

  Hi Ben,

  Unfortunately, these are Quicktime wrapped files that are not supported in Premiere, they are FCP specific.

  You should export as QT animation, or PNG instead for a lossless transition.
