Can’t import AVI files into Premiere Pro CS6

[Bob Jordan]

I’ve updated my Pr CS6 to CC. According to my experience, Pr only works with DV-AVI files and it cannot edit with the delivery-only H264 or MPEG-4 codecs. For the uncompatible videos, I usually convert to MPEG-2 using the smart easefabvideo coverter for mac, it supports transcoding all regular formats to MPEG-2 with least quality loss for seamlessly fit Premiere Pro. You can take a try. Here is a workaround for you: https://www.easefab.com/video-to-software/import-avi-to-adobe-premiere-pro.html

I have an AVI file into Adobe Premiere CS6, loading audio just fine, but no video. VLC Player can play the file perfectly (audio and video) so I clearly have the right codecs installed. I ran a program on the file, and it identified the video codec as “xvid”. So, does Premiere Pro support .AVI(Xvid) format?

To load AVIs to Adobe Premiere Pro smoothly, you will need to format shifting AVI to a more “edit” friendly codec for Premiere Pro like MPEG-2.
