Importing FFV1 encoded files into Premier Pro (CS5)
Sorry if I get things a little mixed up here, but I’m still a relative editing newbie and some terms are confusing to me, but here goes!
I’ve been given a bunch of short video clips that I need to import into Premier CS5. Trouble is, they have been (I am told) encoded with the FFV1 codec, and when I import them into Premier all I can see is the audio track and no video.
Other than asking my friend to re-encode the files (over 200) in a different way, is there some workaround to get these files working in Premier.
Thanks for reading.

Mac or PC? QuickTime or AVI file? I think you have an AVI file with the FFV1 codec – you’d need to have a decoder for that. The problem is, the codec packs out there, may cause problems with Premiere Pro.
