Can’t import AVI files into Premiere Pro CS6
Just installed Premiere Pro CS6(PC)on a new machine.I can see and play the AVI files in bridge but when I try to import it says there’s a file issue and won’t import.
Are these files I need to convert to a different format or do I need to add a specific codec to the new machine.Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated

You’ll get a much quicker answer if you tell us what the format of the file is. It would seem to me that it’s an uninstalled codec, but it’s hard to tell without knowing what flavor of avi it is.

Happy to do that.Could you possibly advise my best way of finding out past a .avi which I currently know it is?

Download G-Spot and drag the file in to the program https://gspot.headbands.com/

Ok.have done that.The file is coming up as H.264/MPEG-4 AVC.
It says codecs are installed and yet it won’t import into Premiere -
Are you using a Premiere Pro trial? Will the file play in VLC Player?
-
No it’s not a trial.However it is from Creative Cloud.
It seems I’m not alone with this issue:

For what it’s worth it also imports into CS3 without any issues

Can you post a file for us to look at?

There are two typical issues from the Premiere users quoted as below. Playback is jerky or Unsupported file format/codec. Since we can’t use AVI files in Premiere as source video files and have them look good at all, why not try to convert these AVI to a Premiere Pro most compatible format e.g. MPEG-2.
