  • Importing .mp4 shows up as only audio

    Posted by Matthew Rideout on April 12, 2010 at 3:30 pm

    I have been trying to import .mp4 video files into my new project in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, however when I do it shows up as audio only. The video plays fine in windows media player, etc… but isn’t showing up in Premiere Pro.

    Can someone help me out with this?

    The format you are trying to use for editing is a delivery format, not an editing format.
    Any codec/format that uses temporal compression is not ideal for editing.

    Try decompressing, or recompressing to an intermediate codec, prior to import.

    Search the forum or archives for ‘decompress’ or ‘intermediate codec’.
