I work on new clips regularly, so it would be nice not to have to launch a separate program, export, import, etc… I’m not saying there are not workarounds, I’m saying I shouldn’t have too.
And I just discovered another clip I have, this ones mp4. Plays fine in vlc AND windows movie maker. Premiere of course cant figure out how to load the audio. I dragged the clip into gspot and it said “unknown” for the audio codec, but I would HOPE a high end product like Premiere would be able to figure it out (since other freeware apps can).
Something is just wrong. There is no reason why I should be having this much trouble. At this point, it’s not about the time it would save me (clearly I’ve wasted more time on these forums than it would take to just convert the files), its about the principle.
There HAS to be a way to ‘trick’ premiere into using one of the codecs that clearly work fine in other video editors and players.
*Just found a WMV that also wont loads video, but no audio. gspot says its codec is also “n/a”, but it plays/edits fine in other apps.
