File Import Failure; File has unsupported compression type!

I completed editing my movie about two weeks ago did all the colour correction audio etc last week, and aim to complete the sutitling tomorrow!
But now the problem is that my some of my files are now offline and can't be relinked because I get an error message which says "File Import Failure; File has unsupported compression type"
These files are .MTS which I believe are AVCHD.
So I don't know what has happenned here. Is it the recent update that has caused this or something else?

This have happend to me twice now.
If I remember correctly it have to do with Cloud membership in my case. Both times I have been away on work and when I get home I have a email stating that payment have failed. After I set it right I start up Premiere and I get this failure.
First time the solution was uninstall Everything Adobe and run clean script. Reinstalling did the trick.
That solution is not working in the long run.
Here Adobe needs to do something soon!

  • Clips from Panasonic ag-ac160 has unsupported compression type with new Premiere update

    Updated Premiere Pro and now my Multicam project is not supporting the files from my Ag-ac160 camera. The files from the Canon 5d work fine but won't load the others. I am going to do a system restore until this is fixed.

    Took the advice of another reply and everything works fine now.
    Empty Media Cache database in the Preference
    Rename folder the files are in and relink.
    See if that will work.

  • Premiere CS6 M2T: Unsupported compression type Error

    Hi, I need help, I have been trying to import M2T files into Premiere CS6 and I'm getting this error: The file has unsupported compression type. Please help. The footage was shot with Sony Z5. Please Note: I can import the same file into After Effects with no problems. Its only in Premiere and I badly need to edit this project.

  • PPro CC says "the file has an unsupported compression type" in one project only - .mts files

    Had to re-install Ppro CC to alleviate some plugin issues. Now, one of my projects that is comprised mostly of AVCHD files(.mts) are offline, and when I attempt to relink, I get the "the file has an unsupported compression type" message. But, all other projects with the same file types are fine.
    I can open another project, or start a new one, and import the .mts files from the errant project with no problem. I have also tried importing the errant project into a new project. I have trashed preferences. I have signed out of CC, then signed back in.
    I'm at a loss of what else to try. Any ideas?

    Ah well...
    This forum has the same effect that my father did when I was a kid. As soon as I posted the above, I tried to open the errant project again, and the .mts files are now online. Same as my Dad and my car - it would be broken, and all he'd have to do is climb in and crank it, and I'd look like an idiot.

  • THE FILE HAS AN UNSUPPORTED COMPRESSION TYPE

    Hello frnds,
    I am having an issue here in Premiere pro CS5. In CS5 new features they said we can import DVD format files into premiere pro CS5 without converting into any format but when I import my DVD files it gives me an error message saying that: THE FILE HAS AN UNSUPPORTED COMPRESSION TYPE.
    Is there anyway I can sort this problem? pls help me....

    Are they on your hard drive(cause running from DVD is begging for trouble)? what size are they? and what was the source you got them from? If all else fails, just convert em over(I hate working outside of the standard formats).
    LOL harm asked the essential question..

  • Problems started with 'Corrupted Project' and has led to 'Unsupported Compression Type" for certain .mts files

    Had to revisit several projects that were working this past January, but now several are reporting as being 'corrupted'. After trying all of the usual recommended remedies, and failing, I attempted what is always my 'last resort' - Trashing Preferences. Last resort because it has always in recent versions, led to other problems. This time was no exception. Now, not only did trashing them NOT solve my corrupt project issue, but it added a couple more. Now, MB Looks plugin can't be seen, which has happened nearly every time I've trashed preferences, and certain .mts files are showing as being the dreaded 'Unsupported compression type', while many in the same folder are working just fine. This almost always seems to be a license issue of some sort. I have signed out of CC, then signed back in to no avail. My short term memory is nearly gone, but I seem to recall a similar set of occurrences a few months ago, and a uninstall/re-install was required to bring everything back to normal. This is getting quite old, as am I.

    Working with Adobe Support via chat at the moment. Their solution? - Contact Red Giant.

  • "File Import Failure Unsupported format or damaged file" in CS6 but fine in CS5.5

    Hello All.
    Recording in Pal DV AVI from Sony Z5U with MRC1K compact flash recorder.
    Imported files to computer using the Sony utility, and also tried dragging and dropping.
    Some files import to Premiere Pro CS6.03, but others give "File Import Failure: Unsupported format or damaged file,".
    The files that do import show up as 4:3 and I have to modify /  interpret footage to get them to show as 16:9,
    However, these same files play back just fine in Windows Media Player.
    Intriguingly these files import just fine to Premiere Pro CS5.5, and also show up correctly as 16:9.
    I can't figure out why some files import into CS6 and others don't....
    Anyone else seen this kind of behavior?
    (Normally I record in HDV and I've never had problems importing from MRC1K into Premiere, but the client specifically requested DV files for their ease of editing...)
    Cheers
    Mark
    PS When I use the DV recoverer utility on these files they import just fine into CS6....

    Hi Jim,
    OK, here's the video that imports OK into CS6.03 but that Premiere CS6.03 sees as 4:3:
    And here's the one that won't import into CS6.03 but is happily opened by CS5.5 and correctly seen as 16:9:
    Can you spot the difference? Thanks for having a look at this.
    Cheers
    Mark

  • File import failure in premiere pro on specific files

    I have installed the latest version of Premiere Pro CC 2014. I am trying to import several video files that i have recorded on a Canon 5D Mark III. The problem is that while some of the files gets successfully imported, many files cant import because of a error message, file import failure. Unsupported file format etc. I have tried to open this in many media players, and all work fine there. I have even imported these files on the same Premiere Pro-version on a different machine, and there they work perfectly. But on this machine some files just wont open. Does anybody have a clue or tips on how I can fix this? I guess its a problem within the software.

    It just seems to pick certain files and reject them.
    Which ones does it eject? eg do they have a different file extension from the video files.
    Are they rgb?

  • Media offline / file import failure

    Hi,
    I have my project created in Premiere CS6. Now i updated to CC.
    In my project, i imported a really short AE file into my Pr timeline. The whole vidieo worked fine.
    Now I just noticed that media (AE file) was reported media offline in Premiere CC.
    OK, I tried to locate the media from the folder where i keep the file.
    Can locate the file but hitting "ok" button won't let me select the file.
    Ok, I treid to rename the AE file. Imported the file in Pr, but Pr says file import failure.
    Anyone come across this problem.
    Not sure if this's because of version CC. My AE file is there. Nothing has changed.
    Just don't know why I can't relocate and import the file.

    HI abhishah,
    Thanks for posting on adobe forums;
    Please provide me following details
    Premiere pro CC or CS6
    What is the OS and version ?
    What is the Graphics Card installed on the system ?
    How much Ram do you have ?
    Do you use any external Hard Drive ?
    and please try to copy the media file from the one location another without media, and make the media offline and save the project as a new project and try to open the new one, then try to link the media.
    Thanks

  • Mxf File import failure

    Dear All,
    I have a problem to import files in CS4 from a Sony PDW-U1(MPEG2 HD 50CBR_1920_1080_422P@HL" formatFps="50i") on my new HP Quad Core 4600.
    The error message: file import failure "Unsupported format or damaged file" but is not damaged.
    The PC don't have a capture card and I don't need it, I just want to import the mxf and edit it on the timeline then encode in flv.
    Someone have an idea?
    Many thanks
    Claudio

    MainConcept sells a fairly expensive PP plugin that supposedly will read the Sony XDCAM HD 422 50 mbps MXF files. I downloaded the demo, but I could never get it to work right, because according the MainConcept, it won't install correctly if you have both CS3 and CS4 components installed. Maybe your luck will be better:

  • Quicktime file import failure in CS5 After Effects and PPro

    Running a Dell PC with a fresh install of Win 7 Pro, Intel Quad Core 2 with 4GB.  Ram.When I try to import quicktime files into AE or PPro, I get a file import failure or corrupted file message.  I am using quicktime version 7.6.6.  I have tried uninstalling and removing all preferences, then reloading older versions of quicktime (7.2) rebboting the machine, and still no luck.  Any tips would be appreciated.  I have not been able to get any help from Adobe.  I have a laptop setup the same way and it works great.  I even tried loading the exact same versions of qt. and tried to use the Importerquiktime.prm file from that machine.

    I appreciate the feedback.  I checked the processes upon AE start and found that the Adobe QT server32 starts then closes in the processes before AE actually loads up.  If it is supposed to remain open, it does not.  I can not find where to change its permissions.  I looked the site you sent a link to, but do not see that section.

  • Why do I get an error msg : file import failure?

    Why do I get this error message? File import failure? I am using video clip from Iphone 4S.

    Have you tried trashing your Final Cut Pro preferences? It is usually the first step when FCP begins to act in unexpected ways.
    Download Preference Manager (free) from Digital Rebellion
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    and use it to trash your preferences - they will be set to default the next time you open FCP.
    If that does not remedy the problem, do you have any still images in your timeline that are not RGB, or are greater than 4000 pixels in the widest dimension?
    Is your source material in an FCP7 edit friendly codec?
