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?

    Hallo,
    ich kann leider keine Aufnehmen meiner Dreambox in premiere importieren.
    Kann mir jemand helfen?
    Brauche ich da ein extra plug in oder muss ich was an den Einstellungen verändern oder ist das etwa gar nicht möglich?
    Vielen Dank für Eure Hilfe.

    Can you please give us info on the Assets in this Project? What is their format/CODEC, and their location on your system?

  • "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

  • 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

  • File Import Failure message

    I've just started the switch from FCP to Premiere on my Macbook Pro and am stuck early on with two issues.
    File Import Failure message.
    Importing some clips shot with a Canon 5D Mark II [ 24 fps (23.9+)] and PP  seems to import them but also gives me a "File Import Failure" and "File format not supported" messages. I've tried to input a folder from the flashdisk itself and from a copy on a disk drive. The error message shows up and then all the files also show up in clips in PP.
    But something is wrong because when I play the files back in the Source window they play speeded up even though PP shows the correct file length.
    I've tried making a sequence set to 24 fps (23.9+) and same thing happens. The sequence and the files both have the same frame rate. When I drag a clip into the sequence e it's still speeded up.
    Sure would like to get started . . . this is probably a simple thing.
    I'm using the 30-day trial of CC PPro 7.
    Can anyone help?
    Many thanks,
    Robert
    It's an MBP with 2.6 ghz i7, 8 g ram, OS 10.8

    How exactly are you importing the clips? Through Media Browser? File>Import...? Drag and drop from Finder? And perhaps more to the point, exactly which files or folders are you selecting for import. With folder-based content, your best bet is to use Media Browser, which knows how to make sense of the multiple files that comprise each clip. If, instead, you simply drag a whole folder into the Project panel, Premiere will import the media files but throw the File Import Failure message for other files like XML. (If you stretch the dialog horizontally, you'll be able to see the full filename and extension of the ones that PPRO is balking at. Yes, I know, the mouse pointer doesn't give you the expected feedback that it will work to stretch the dialog, but trust me.)
    As to the clips playing faster than real-time, what frame rate is reported in both the Project panel and the Metadata panel. In the latter panel, please check both the Clip section at the top and the File section under Dynamic Media (typing "frame" in the search field will show you both).
    Also, what do you see in the Frame Section of the Interpret Footage dialog (Clip>Modify>Interpret Footage.)
    What's the stated duration, and how long does the clip actually take to play from start to finish?

  • Batch import MXF on Premiere Pro Cs5 (Panasonic P2) ?

    HI,
    Does anyone know of a way to import more than one mxf file at a time without having import the content folder as separate files? To be clear. I know several ways of import mxf files into premiere. The first is to simply click File>Import and browse for the file. Another way is via the media browser and yet another is to right click on the project panel and selecting import. They all share the same problem. You can only import one file at a time because you need to select the mxf file within the video subfolder. Premiere then composites the audio and the video together. If you instead select the 00#### folders you can select more than one but you get whole bunch of separate audio and video files for each clip. (You do also get a composite file but the extra files are a nightmare when it comes to organizing).  This is what the file looks like when you browse for it using the Flie>Import or the right click>import methods:
    The Media browser option is slightly diferent in the once you browse into the 00#### folder you see the composite file instead of the contents folder. But still you can't select more than one file at a time unless you only browse into the 00#####'s parent folder Then you can select all the 00#### folders but you get the same jumbled mess of files you get by trying this the other way. You can just drag them to the project panel or right click>Import to import the files. This is what it looks like:
    The problem is this is what the file looks like when you import the folder:
    The only necessary file in that whole folder is the last one. So does anyone know a way to import more than one mxf file at a time that only produces one file per clip in premiere pro CS5?

    Ah, yes... you're sort of in a tough spot. The Dual Adapter has been the source of much consternation since the advent of P2. Addonics makes an adapter that works decently on PCs, but is also a no-go on Macs.
    You have a couple of options, as I see it:
    Keep on keepin' on... not fast or friendly, but if it works for you, so be it
    Partition your Mac Book's hard drive so that you can install 10.5 (Leopard) and 10.6 (Snow Leopard). That way, you could boot into 10.5 in order to use the Dual Adapter to offload cards, and then boot back to 10.6 for editing.
    If you are a Mac-only-kind-of-guy, pick up an old PowerBook that actually has a CardBus/PCMCIA slot--it'll work just fine for offloading.
    If you are willing to dabble in PC land, do a little research on small, inexpensive Windows laptops that either have a CardBus slot, or have an ExpressCard slot and will work with the Addonics adapter (the Dual won't work on Windows Vista/7, and probably won't since it's been discontinued).
    Pick up the Panasonic AJ-PCD2 single-slot USB reader. It's the long overdue appliance the P2 shooting world has been clamoring for.
    They're all viable, and arranged roughly in the order from cheapest to "less cheap." Other than #1, I'd say just about any of them are decent solutions. Personally, I suggest the PC laptop route--even if you single-purpose it for offloading P2 cards, it will prove to be the most flexible and robust solution.
    As for the logging, maybe we don't need more thrid party software. Maybe
    the answer lays in cross compatibility with the current software.
    Premiere=FCP=Vegas=Avid. Seems like less steps to me having the metadata
    embed on the clip.
    That would be the ideal, but unfortunately, the NLEs are incapable of editing the file metadata for any MXF clip. Rather, they can edit the clip metadata for a particular imported clip, but then that stays with the project itself, and doesn't travel with the files if they go elsewhere. So at this time, logging outside of an NLE is really the only means of associating usable, transferable metadata with a particular shot.

  • 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.

  • File Import Failure

    I just tried to open a video I have been working on in Adobe Premiere Elements 11 editing software and I got an error message saying "File Import Failure. The type of file is not supported or the required codec is not installed." How do I fix this so I can get access to my file again? Thanks!!

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • How to Import *.FLA to Premiere Pro CS4?

    is it posible to Import *.FLA to Premiere Pro CS4?
    if it's able to, so How? ..please
    thanx

    I haven't tried it, but I'd be surprised if PR would import an .fla (the flash project file).  It is not listed in the fiile formats:
    CS5: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WSd79b3ca3b623cac97fa024001235833a568-800 0.html

    SWFs are listed as okay for import in at least CS4 and CS5.  But if you've got the fla, you can probably export a swf.

  • 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:

  • Importing .AVI to Premiere Pro CS4

    Hi
    I'm trying to edit a video that I got from my DSLR. It's in .AVI format.
    When I import it to Premiere Pro CS4 and tried to play it. I can only hear the audio but the video doesn't play.
    I already tried installing K-Lite Codec Pack but still the same.
    I used Gspot and it says Codecs are installed.
    Hope someone can help me out.

    Having a CODEC installed is no guarantee that an NLE program can use it to edit. This ARTICLE goes into more detail.
    As John T. points out, two very popular versions of the MJPEG CODEC are the Morgan, or the MainConcept, but your DSLR might have come with exactly what you need - but you might need to look on the included DVD for it. Camera mfgrs. often tweak their particular CODEC's, and especially with the MJPEG CODEC. That should be included, but it might be a separate installation, it might install with the camera's driver, or it might install with editing/organizing software. See this ARTICLE for a bit more detail.
    Good luck,
